What do you tie your awnings down with?
I am looking for a simple way of tieing my awning down so the wind won't take it. Any suggestions??? Thanks

Each soil presents its own unique problems like you say… I carry home made pound in anchors of different lengths made of angle iron, and the screw in dog leash anchors… I also have the screw in anchors like RoyB uses and The Claw aircraft tie down that I can take with me if I think I might need them…
For rock or the shell rock I have a long tapered chisel that I can crack the rock with instead of bending my anchors trying to drive them in the rock…
You need more than one type of anchor with you…
Often what works well in one place isn’t good at all in another…
I also use the claw kit. I have 3 claws total because I put up a 10x10 as well and use one from the awning and another to hold it down. The claw will not pull out, but the bag it comes in ripped up quickly and the hammer is cheap, I bought a hammer from lowes and ground the nailremover grove out a little to work. If the weather gets bad I will roll up the awning as the vinyl will rip at the TT long before the claw will pull out.
