[QUOTE=PopBeavers;96146]I rarely use the awning. It tore in the third year. I repaired it last fall and have not used it since. We use a free standing canopy every day, either for shade of for protection from a light drizzle. We sometimes take it from camp to the ATV trail head.
Hi-
If you strap the awning down cross ways it will not go any where. We are in the mountains with gusts up to 40 mph, and the strap is wonderful, it has a spring on one side at the bottom of the strap for a little give, we got it at camping world many, many years ago plus I tilt it for rain, just perfect. The TM will be blown over first before the awning goes, 4 very, very long nail spikes on each side in the ground on a slant. (See picture to view the strap going across the awning)
