I checked with a "friend" of mine that I used to build awnings with.
He has a Consew walking foot sewing machine, and does Raven Mills
Sunbrella projects. He wanted $1,000 for a ten by ten. I went and
bought a $175 gazebo with new top. If you have a lightweight frame
common to big store gazebos, the heavier awning canvas will overload
it.

Of course Sunbrella will last about seven years if exposed 24/7 here in
the Florida sun and rain. The lightweight canvas lasts one year under
the same conditions.
