tinmac, thanks for posting.
How does that set up work in strong winds (30-50mph)?
It holds up very well even so far up to 55 mph wind, its been up for a year now and still no damage, 80 percent sun shade allows the most sun block with the best for high winds, 90 percent catches to much wind.
The setup your showing is fine but solid fabric in high winds will rip and can cause damage to the poles unless the poles were very strong and anchored down well, they also sell a fabric that is very thick {pricey} but holds up well under high winds.
Most of the kits sold are lite duty poles and fabric, beware when the winds come, that's why I built my own with strong poles and fabric that allows the wind to blow thru without worry's, my area only gets about 2 inches of rain so that was not my issue, its the hot hot sun 12 months of the year that will destroy your rv paint.
