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

Unfortunately lowering it all the way won’t help much, it’s still a giant sail and if the air gets under it, it will get torn off…
IMHO if it’s out it needs tied down… seem everywhere I go there is enough wind, or the unexpected gust… but I bought it to use, I bought tie downs to keep from losing it, and I bought insurance to cover the cost if I do lose it…
I have seen hundreds of awnings destroyed, most from not being properly deployed… from pooling water and not enough tilt, not deployed tight enough and battered by slight breezes, and those not tied down often while the camper was still on site… and a few taken out while open or rolled up by falling branches…
