How Do You Build Cheap Wood Awnings?
Awnings provide some degree of protection from rain and sun when house windows are open. A driving wind or beating afternoon sun can present a challenge to a home owner who would like to have a window open during warmer months. An awning is a simple solution to block some of these harsh conditions. A cheap wood awning can be made with inexpensive materials and tools. It may not be the choice for everyone, but it is a good option for those who are on a budget and want a simple sun and rain barrier. A wood awning can be made affordable by using inexpensive wood such as pine and plywood. The simple design of this awning will also cut down on materials costs. Assemble the awning frame by placing two 1 x 2 x 24-inch pine boards parallel to each other approximately 48-inches apart. These are the frame ends. Place the two 1 x 2 x 48-inch pine boards between the frame ends to form a box. These are the frame sides. Fasten the frame together by driving finish nails through the sides into the end
