My problem is the extended awning is about 10 feet above the ground, I was hoping I could roll the screen up with the awning and secure it when it was extended to the ground with rope or straps.
Seen many people use rope or straps or other means but sometime you are going to come across a place that won't allow putting in stakes and raise a fit because somebody will think its a clothes line etc.
I like to use our 3 gallon drinking water jugs as weight secured to handle of jug and sun shade with little bungee cord. Bungee cord allows some little gusts of wind to absorb some of the force of wind.
The first time we hear the little clunk of jug blopping back into place from getting lifted, it's time to take it down and retract awning. (Meaning one edge lifted maybe an inch or two)
Seems to work great for us. Biggest hassle to me is folding ours up.
