You only have to loose the set-up once and then have to pay the $1,500 to get the new one and from that point on...you will know when the wind is to strong.
Your guts, starting to churn, will be the key.

I thought perhaps I would rephrase my note...if you are getting any wind at all and you are starting to wonder/worry? That is the time to bring it in. If the wind gets strong enough to damage the awning, it'll happen so fast, you won't be able to prevent it. If you close to water and see whitecaps starting to kick up? Now. If you are in open area and see dust devils or stuff kicking up? Now. If you see someone else bringing in theirs? Now.
You can always bring it in too seoon, and you will get a feel for it. But..when it goes bad...it's alreaqdy gone.
