I've been thinking about this since last night, I think it would work but I'm open to comments and ideas.
Parts
1 6x10 Tarp
2 Pieces 6' long, 1.5" wide, 1/8" thick.
3 Quick Fist
2 World Famous Awning poles
2 Stakes
2 Home made guy ropes
2 Velcro straps about 10" long
A few Bolts and nuts.
For the tarp I'm thinking of a rubberized nylon tarp like the image below. The 2 long pieces could be either steel, aluminum or HDPE (although I think it would have to be thicker).
I would bolt the 2 pieces, tarp and quick fists together (tarp between the long pieces obviously) using the holes on both ends and 1 near the middle.
I would use the remaining holes to add the velcros which will be used to attach the tarp when I roll it.
Using the quick fist I can easily install/remove the awning from my roof rack whenever I want. When I want shadow I will only need to unroll it and install the poles and guy ropes.
