  • Patent number: 9187922
    Abstract: The fence attachable awning is constructed with a plurality of shade members that connect to form an awning. The plurality of shade members connects via a plurality of snap buttons to form the overall shape of the awning. The awning is attached to a set of frame supports that extend laterally from a respective hanging support. The awning attaches to the frame supports at a declination in order to enable rain to slope off of the awning when in use. The frame supports are constructed of individual components that collapse the frame support when not in use. The hanging supports of the frame supports are adapted to clip onto a top portion of a fence in order to support the frame support and awning there from.
