For my personal skinflint homemade awning, I use these clamps that now
that I have to refer to them, I don't know what they're called.  But
they're spring loaded clamps that carpenters might use to hold
together two pieces of wood that had just been glued.  They're
avialable in a numbers of sizes and I use the smallest.  It only takes
two and the long handles make it easy to get them off and on.  And
they cost like $1.50 a piece.
