Ours is manual and I do tie it down. I use the screw in type ground anchors to anchor it to the ground and bungees to the corners of the awning to soften the bounce. I also use deflappers on both sides of the awning to the arms. Those do a great job of reducing the flapping. I just use (what I hope) is good judgement on whether to roll it up or not. As the winds often rise and fall throughout the day, I do not want to be rolling it out and rolling it in more than I have to. Have had it out in fairly strong winds with never a problem.
