Hi everyone, I have just bought a second hand Dorema Alpha Porch Awning which unfortunately doesn't have any instructons or frame diagram? At the moment I have a garden full of poles and a confused expression. Does anyone out there maybe have  a frame diagram or similar?

Many thanks for any help or advice.

Regards

Jon

    Dorema's web site shows bits but doesn't give frame diagrams so not really much help I'm sorry to say

    Thanks Mike, was just about to post that I have found a Frame Diagram on a website called canvaslove.co.uk which hopefully might help other members in a similar situation.

    Ta.

    We found it helpful to mark our poles, once we'd erected the awning properly.  We used a permanent marker, and a system of dots and stripes, but I've seen colours used, sticky labels, and rubber bands! Set up your own method, making sure you mark each 'joint' in the same way as the one it joins to, making sure that no two joins are the same!

    We now have a Bradcot Easy Erect which is an absolute doddle - just three poles which have extensions and pull outs, and which then fit together in an obvious way.
