Keep water out of rolled awning
Lots of wind here in eastern CO, so I get rain/snow forced into rolled awning when stored for the season. Recent issue of a magazine suggested using lower portion of 2 litre soda bottle. Slit one side so bottle can be spread apart, and drill hole in bottom to fit over awning roller pin. Spread open bottle over end of awning and pin and allow to snack back to shape. The illustration showed a couple of slits partially down the bottle, perhaps for drainage so any water that blew in from open end wouldn't pool. I'm going to try it at both ends of awning.
