Hi - I'm trying to come up with an easy way to put up a light fabric awning. I could attach something to the eaves at the wall side and add some sort of light uprights at the railing. The goal is to be light and easy to put up and take down. It's just for shade. Size wise I'm thinking about 12'x12'. I'm leaning toward a light nylon tent fabric.

Any ideas appreciated!

Thanks
