The first 30 disaster relief tarps were delivered in October of 2011 and were very much appreciated by Americares Disaster relief agency. These durable water resistant tarps were made from manufacturing waste acrylic awning fabric. The idea is that this durable long lasting fabric can provide shelter and covering for people and animals displaced by natural disasters such as the Haiti earthquake while also saving our landfills here in the U.S. Futureguard provided all the fabric from the cut off fabric saved and Awning Cleaning Inc of New Haven CT fabricated the tarps. Awning cleaning has enough fabric for at least 30 more with lots more waste fabric on the way to them. Hopefully t the other awning manufactures around the U.S. and even the world will begin to save fabric and make tarps for this worthwhile cause! |

PAMA's January news release, "Homeowners Add Environmentally Friendly 'Saving Energy' to New Year's Resolutions in 2012," was picked up by major news outlets across the U.S. including CBS Atlanta, FOX Carolina 21 and KCTV 5 in Kansas City. The estimated pick-ups reached 39,800 Google listings the day it was distributed. The release cites the interview with homeowner Barb Neuerman from the PAMA video"Awnings Save Illinois Homeowner Cooling Energy Costs," with an estimate on how she saved money by installing awnings on her home. The news coverage should help boost traffic to the PAMA website and links from the website to PAMA members through the shop locator. In addition, a new discussion about the release has been posted on the Awning Info LinkedIn group, which the general public can view. PAMA stands for "Professional Awning Manufacturer's Association".

Correct Bracket Attachment is Critical! |
With all awnings, but big projections in particular, it is critical that a bracket is always mounted on each side of the arm shoulder within 16”. If your awning has less than two brackets per arm then you must mount one bracket between the arm and the end of the awning with the other bracket in the middle. Secondly the installers must make sure they get 2” to 3” of penetration into the center of the stud with the lags. Thick sheathing or vinyl siding can diminish this depth with the common 4” lags so longer lags may be needed in certain circumstances. Finally you need to be careful if you are mounting to the box framing between floors that you either go through into the floor joist ends or use half inch diameter lags for more bite. |
