Securing window awning

[warren madson]

Scott I have used those plastic ties, you can push
them under the tube and secure them . you can get them
in var lengths and strengths, from most hardware
stores like home depot, lows , Menard's etc. they will
get you home but you have to cut them off.. also zip
Dee sell small hooks that you perm mount and hook and
unhook each time. also be sure that the springs are
tight. Had mine unroll in 70 mph winds going down the
road at about 6o mph. should have stoped and watched
the sunset , but you know how we are sometimes!
getting older and slower or smarter.
