Electric Awning question

Personally, I'd much rather have a manual awning so I could keep it up during times when an electric needs to be rolled up. Whole idea is to provide shade, which you lose with an electric in even mild breezes.

Exactly how I feel. We use our awning rarely but part of the reason is that the slightest breeze causes it to bounce around. We just are afraid something will break or pull loose. The manual may be less convenient, but are more robust. IMO anyway.
