This is turning into an eventful trip....snow & frozen water at Hereford C&CC, no water working last night when I arrived at my next site (working now)...
...and now I've snapped the handle for my Fiamma sun canopy while winding it back in this morning as it started snowing again
The canopy is great, but the handle is just crap. It's so flimsy. The section that has snapped looks like aluminium and has broken at the point where they've reduced the diameter to fit some kind of plastic collar. This is on top of me having to keep knocking one of the pins back in at the nearby 90 degree joint every few months because it slowly pops out over time - in fact, you can see it trying to escape in the photo, on the right hand side.
I really wanted to be winding the awning back in by hand/pliers in the wind and snow today.... :shout:
Deep breath.....relax.....just order a new one Neil.....it's just money :Sad:
Anybody else managed to break one of these things?
