We tie our awning down while using the Sunshade that unzips at the top. We found this past winter in FL that with posts on each end the awning it could take 25 mph wind guts without issues. We have two paint roller brush aluminum extension handles and tie-down straps hooked to screw-in dog stakes to anchor each end. We typically keep informed about the weather and when we get concerned about wind or are going to be away we unzip and on clip the poles (modified paint bruch handles) and retract the awning in about 3 minutes. However, I have another story that will require another post about wind, windows, and awnings, stay tuned.
