Awning Storm Straps (1 Viewer)

[Chris]

What pegs do you use to hold them down with?

And how do you attach the straps to the peg?

I thought I knew all about this stuff until last night.

I deleted my answer because when I realised there was a second part I realised I know nothing

When we were at Shell Island the other week got talking to a guy with a all singing /dancing tent and the very best of accessories, we remarked on his tent pegs they were flat and strange looking then he said they were £23 for 10, and in a storm a few weeks before when others had come down his had not budged, I'll have a look on internet and see can I find the name .

Why the springs though?

 

[Bailey58]

They provide "give" to help prevent strain on the pegs.

I have got the bloody big peg things, V shaped heavy duty metal, lost the springs somewhere still use the pegs, but attach the ratchet bit directly to the peg

Get decent ratchet straps or they just come loose, I probably have ours too tight, but I reckon better than that an awning wrapped round the motorhome

We are the same, except that we have an Omnistor kit because we have an Omnistor awning.

I have something similar that I made from aluminium chequer plate (pinched the pattern from @SUGGY) but agree on winding in if it is too windy.

 

[Badknee]

I always wind our awning in at night.

Yes, I wind in our awning (when we use it) at the same time as winding up Mrs Deluxe.......

We have a rumpy pumpy air awning which is brilliant, and was even admired by no less than @Tootles himself.....

Just saw the price.

I have a pair of the big screw in things I think they're for tying dogs too. Screw them right down then a ratchet strap on each corner of the awning connected to the anchors job done. Bobs yer Aunty Simples


Been using this system for over 8 years never failed yet.

Good bit of kit, if nothing else it helps keep the pitch invaders from walking past the van.

 

[Deleted member 29692]

Just saw the price.

Less than 12 quid for a pair?

How big is the sail that propels a decent dingy ? How big is your awning ?

Bottom line is the wind will always win.

Same for us and we also peg the legs down. 2 pegs for each leg, both angled in opposite directions.
Still wind it in if it's a bit windy.
Had a bit of thunder a couple of nights ago. I'd fallen asleep and jumped out of bed (woken by a big clap of thunder),whipped the door open to check the awning was still there.
SWMBO said," what are you doing?". I told her I thought the awning had blown free.( I hadn't realised there was a bit of a storm).

I got called a few choice names for waking her when "it's only a bit of thunder".

Always best to play safe.

I thought that was the other blow up item he bought

No wonder @DuxDeluxe has a bad back (Hope you're feeling better David)

Nothing worse than winding in the awning at 4 in the morning in your pyjamas in the rain. Well so I am told.

Of coarse. I mean, would you like to be tied down in a field without your high heals and sussies??

Better still Graham, dont answer that..........
