10. Now fold the Awning moreover to reduce it to the length of the bag. (may need 3 to 5 folds)
11. Now let the arrangement settle for 5 minutes so any trapped air will move out.

13. This helps in making sure that as you fold, the air keeps on getting out.
14. Take help from someone at this stage, so you get it evenly folded.
