On my electric awning there are no springs or adjustment for tension. Tension is supplied by a gas strut on each awning arm and can not be varied. It's not near as tight as an old style manual awning. However, it's designed so that if water collects on it the gas spring will collapse and dump the water. Also, if the wind catches the awning the strut will "give" and dump the air from the awning and then return it to it's normal extended position.
