I know the answer is use your common sense but at what sort of wind speed should you roll them in? We have 4.5m and always use straps to anchor it.

We have gone through a few good storms with our awning and safari room rigged. We use two tie downs in slot in the front rail and a 50mm ratchet strap over the middle of the awning. We always have the mid point rafter fitted and now have a lengthways rafter that fits to the spring arms. Proper set up is the answer, though there is always a difference in the effort for a weekend or 6 months snowbirding.
I cannot understand the use of ratchet straps when used with a spring !!!does not make sense at all,,,,BUSBY
Shock loading, the spring reduces the shock load on the awning mounting point.

beware those corkscrews as they snap far too easily where the pin passes through it. they are no good at restraining a 20kg dog. no way will they hold an awning if the wind gets upHow does anyone else secure the straps to the ground? We use a couple of these from pet stores if we can get them into the ground or if not some other immovable object such as the trees or hedges around the pitches in Spain

I know that but if you are putting flexibility on the straps why the need for ratchets,,,BUSBY.
