Rich, you provide some good warnings, but in the 9 years I used my vinyl awning until the sun finally beat it to death, I think tying down the awning does not make it impervious to winds, I think the process improves the stability when the wind is stronger than usual but not enough to retract the awning. I have set up my rig and a slight wind would cause a ruckus, but my neighbors with tiedowns were silent and strong. However, with strong wind warnings even they would bring them up, but not always (hmmmm).
When I get my new awning (hopefully acrylic), I'll get a cover for it too, to minimize sun damage when it's rolled up.
