drain pipe to protect awning

I have seen photos of folks using plastic drain pipe to cover and protect awnings during storage periods. This looks like a good idea for under $50.00.
Has anyone done this? If it is bungied or tied tightly could it also be used during travel and to protect against low branches at back in time?

    I considered that idea too. I ended up adding two 4" wide strips of Eternabond to mine. It's stayed stuck and protected the awning for the last 6 years now.

    I think I like it better this way too. Nothing to remember or forget. It's just protected.


    That's a good idea
