Even a mild breeze can make my awning billow like a parachute. I use tie-downs on mine a lot of the time. With the tie-downs my awning will handle 10-15 mph gusts without a problem. It's seen a few stronger gusts (25 mph ?) also without problems. This is something you really sould try out for yourself. Best not to leave it unattended for more than just a few minutes just to be safe. I would'nt reccomend buying the cheap tie-down kits. They don't hold even slight tension well and loosen up quickly.
