Yeah, and the first puff of wind that comes along gives the thing a good tug
and the clamps are ballistic.  Been there, done that.  Also, if you're setting
up the awning on pavement (e.g. car show, etc.), there's no place to put the
stakes.


I know there are el cheapo solutions, some even quite clever, but IMHO an
awning is a great investment.  I'm glad I didn't wait any longer to get our A&E
awning.
