I have one off these, it has no manufacture markings or anything Identifiable. the awning is a nylon canvas material. the edge of the awning slides into the aluminum track. The edge that slides in has a cord, about like a clothes line, sewn into the canvas. you could fabricate one of these it you are handy with a sewing machine. the awning is then secured with tent poles ropes and stakes. I can take a picture of mine if you are interested.
