ABSTRACT:
There is provided a tensioning arrangement for an awning structure which includes a plurality of vertical support posts and at least one horizontal member extending between a pair of the posts and having an awning of a flexible sheet material secured at one end and having a free marginal edge at an opposed end thereof, the tensioning member being mounted in a moveable relationship to the horizontal member, the tensioning member having means for receiving the free marginal edge and means for removing the tensioning member with respect to the horizontal member to thereby apply tension to the flexible sheet material. Operation of the system permits one to quickly achieve a uniform tension and maintain the same.
