We are doing something similar but a bit more basic. We purchased some canvas from a surplus stire, a gromit kit, some tent poles and guy lines, and some clamps. Cut ans sew the canvas to size, hem the sides, place gromits at the corners, treat the canvas, then clamp one side to the rain cutter and use the poles at the corners. Should work although it will be prone to the moisture sag Stephen mentioned. Thanks, Jeff 90' Carat (It's Blue, It's Beautiful.
