If you use it much the day will come when a unexpected straight line wind will come and your un-tied awning and it’s arms may end up on the roof before you can get out of your chair to try to save it…
40 pound pots and filled buckets can be hurled half way across the CG like BB”s from a sling shot… I have seen awnings tied to heavy picnic tables lift a table and in one instance and would have thrown it had the rope not broke…
If the awning is out it should be tied down but tied down adequately… it doesn’t matter if you choose to bring it in or leave it out… never had an automatic awning and I don’t want one…
