We bought two better quality bags than the cloth ones supplied. The one for the canvas is biger, we fold the awning to the length of the bag, roll it up and in it goes!

We take out the removable panels  first, they are placed on the main part before rolling.

I've yet to see any kind of object like an awning, tent or the like go back in the bag it came in!
We had some bags made up by a local tarpaulin maker and repairer to put some of our marquee PVC in.

Mine goes back in every time. Take the zip out panels off. fold them into quarters. Lay the awning on the ground on its roof, place all the bits that the zips fasten onto so that they lie as flat as possible on the awning, Start at one end make a fold from the first roof seam, then fold it over again so that it reaches the centre, check that it is not too long if it go back and fold it so that there are two folds after the first one to the centre. Same at the other end. Place two of the folded zipped out sections on one end of the awning by the tape, place the other two on the same section next to the others but towards the front of the awnng. Then fold then other half of the awning on top. Now start at the end with the tape and roll the awning up tightly. It should fit in the bag nicely.

Flatten it out onto ground & fold length wise so final width before you start rolling is slightly less than length of bag. Then place each end into middle & roll tightly. Keep a length of nylon cord to tie around roll so it stays rolled while you drop it into bag.

Simply buy a couple of bags from someone like BagsforEverything [Wakefield].

The roof section fits easily into one bag and the four zip out panels into the other.

Why waste time trying to fit everything back into the original bag, especially if the weather is not helpful.

Yes there are bigger bags that you can buy to pack your awning in. I bought a tube style heavy duty waterproof awning bag from 'Weekend Leisure' which will accommodate about any size awning on the market which is shown in the first link. However, if you prefer a flat bag that is waterproof, strong and well made then the one in the second link I can highly recommend as I have bought many items from this company in the past. I have bought from them in the past an aquaroll bag, wastemaster bag, EHU cable bag, awning peg bag and a hitch cover and have been pleased with the product and service every time. I would have purchased an awning bag from them too but they didn't do the tube style bag so I had to settle for the alternative shown in the first link.
