As I posted earlier, I make sure I stake it down securely and then put it away if we get bad weather. I have never had any pieces break or any trouble putting it away. One of the advanges to this awning is the weight. It weighs about half the F45 and I feel a little better about it on the side of my van. If you want an awning that will take more abuse, the F45 is the way to go. Parts are available to repair your F35 Pro.
