And since my only experience is with rigid-armed A&E awnings, should I consider the hinged-armed (and powered) units to be more, or less, tolerant of winds than rigid arms? I like the idea of powered very much, but might decide is not worth trying if it's known that these awnings can only be extended when it's dead calm.
