[QUOTE="user 7268, post: 419879, member: 7268"] I'd use something like below and you could insert some small pieces of flat steel at several intervals along it then simply use some good rare earth magnets to hold in position from the underside. Placed out as close to the extrusion (which from my understanding is always going to be available whatever amount of awning is out ) is going to give you a nice straight flat surface. You could even have a canvas roll sewn up with some metal pieces sewn in by a canvas maker. As after all you only have to create an edge for the water to pool and run down along. Simple to do, cheap and can fold up to nothing for storage when not in use. Or you could mount magnets in the rubber and use a one piece metal strip coated with heat shrink so it doesn't mark canvas and place that up from underneath which would create it's own flat surface. But think the former is easier. Or following Dougs idea but a bit more involved, is have a length of Velcro fastener sewn across awning and then mount what ever you wish to create the gutter effect using mating Velcro strip to attach. The furry side :o sewn to awning as it's non abrasive. Or use magnetised rubber stripping / mouldings ................ heaps of types available ? The magnet effect wouldn't be as strong as rare earth magnets I shouldn't imagine ?
