A fabric panel attaching system and methods of assembly and use are presented for attaching fabric panels to structural elements, such as building frames. In various embodiments, the fabric panel attachment system includes a keder rail fastened to support bar, which is attached to a structural profile, such as a building frame member. In some embodiments, the keder rail is fastened to a support bar with bolt and nut. One or more fabric panels are installed within channels of the keder rail. An alignment element may be used with a fastener to assist in aligning abutting sections of keder rail. In various embodiments, the fabric panel attachment system is secured to flat or curvilinear faces of the structural elements. In some embodiments, the fabric panel attachment system may secure directly to the structural element and not a support bar.

An awning is disclosed. The awning comprises a case assembly comprising a housing, configured to be mounted to a dwelling, and a lead rail, a roller assembly mounted in the case assembly and including a roll tube rotatable relative to the case assembly, a lead rail assembly coupled to the lead rail, the lead rail assembly movable relative to the housing between an extended position and a retracted position, a canopy having a leading edge and a trailing edge, the leading edge being connected to the lead rail assembly and the trailing edge being connected to the roll tube, and a spring arm assembly connecting the housing of the case assembly to the lead rail, the spring arms including a first arm and a second arm pivotable relative to one another, the spring arm assembly allowing the lead rail assembly to move between the extended position and the retracted position.

A lateral arm assembly and method of operation includes a lateral arm awning assembly comprising a box cassette supporting a roll bar, A first end cap having a first end cap portion and a second end cap portion, the first end cap portion coupled to a first box end of the box cassette and the second end cap portion coupled to a first bar end of the roll bar, the second end cap portion removably couplable to the first end cap portion, and a second end cap coupled to a second box end of the box cassette, the first box end opposite the second box end, the second end cap spaced from the first end cap by the box cassette, the second end cap having a third end cap portion and a fourth end cap portion, the third end cap portion coupled to the second box end and the fourth end cap portion coupled to a second bar end of the roll bar, the first bar end opposite the second bar end, the fourth end cap portion removably couplable to the third end cap portion.

The present disclosure describes a retractable awning assembly. The retractable awning assembly may include a plurality of roller tube sections, at least two torsion bar sections, a pair of spring-loaded arms, a fabric cover, a plurality of front bar sections, a pair of end caps, a plurality of mounting brackets, and a plurality of hood sections. Methods of assembling the same are provided.

A modular system for creating a temporary plurality of individual living spaces, may include a plurality of anchors, where pairs of anchors create opposing sides of a personal space. A frame may be positioned between the pairs of anchors to create a bedding structure. The anchors may also provide storage space, lights, power source, among other features of a living area. A covering may be used between the pairs of anchors to separate the living space from the rest of the space to improve individual privacy.
