Abstract

An awning is provided with a portable enclosure. Enclosure walls are rollable on a pair of vertical enclosure rollers mounted on a wall at ends of the awning. The enclosure walls are supported by spring loaded tailpieces disposed between leading and trailing edges of the awning. The upper edge of the enclosure is secured to the awning and the lower edge is folded at the ground. The enclosure walls are joined at the middle of the awning to enclose the space below the awning. The rollers are removable from the wall for storage of the enclosure.
