Our side is about 24" wide and around 18' in length. Have never had problems with it or the one on the HTT (smaller)....at least in wind. If it extends further out, I'd likely pull it in if possible. Rain can be a culprit in weighing down the slide awning. If it's just light to moderate rain, I'll slowly close the slide in the morning and let the water drain off. If it's a real downpour, more often. The weight of a heavy rain bent the aluminum tube on our patio awning in half and trashed the entire thing one night when we didn't realize it was pouring and it wasn't tilted. We're of the mind that if there is any doubt, close it up until things settle down.
