The $60 DIY Awning I built for my Subaru Forester

Okay, you've been asking, so here's a closer look at the $60 DIY awning I built for my Forester. My awning is far from perfect and doesn't compare to a "real" vehicle awning, but it's an inexpensive solution that's easy to build and it largely gets the job done.

This isn't a How-To video. Rather, I demonstrate how I created mine and how it works. Hopefully you will find these ideas helpful if you want to make something similar (or improve upon it!). Let me know in the comments below if I can clarify any aspect of the build, or what ideas you have to do this better.
