Abstract: A portable awning producing shade adjacent to ball field fences and dugouts and similar situations comprised of a retractable awning wound around a roller tube, a housing for the awning and roller tube, telescoping legs, guy lines for lateral stability and a handle attached to the housing. The free end of the awning protrudes through an elongated slot in the housing and is attached by snap hooks to a fence. The other end of the awning is attached to the roller tube which is mounted inside of the housing. The housing is vertically supported by the telescoping legs and stabilized by the guy lines attached to the ground. The telescoping legs are attached to the housing by hinges so that the legs may fold adjacent to the housing for stowing. The housing has a handle and restraining straps attached to it for portability and includes storage areas at the ends of the housing provided for the guy lines and stakes. The restraining straps hold the legs parallel to the housing while stowed.
