Hi All

Not pushing the awnings that We make but Both are intended for High Winds.
BUT, The tension awning is not really for rain it will pool . What I
have done with the Tension is to take the outside poles as low as
they will go and reset the rope tension.

The Claw will hold into the ground 1100 Pounds of pull Force.
We do sell the Claw by itself if  your concerned about weenee tent
stakes. I have had both of my Awnings in Extremes gusts up to 60 MPH
on both and both held there ground. The Vintage Frame awning does not
come with the Claw BUT can always be added. I use it on mine every time.

Here are some links. I did see the shady boy and other awnings but
wanted a better fabric and color options since I am sorta a sicko about that.

But here are a few links for anyone that wishes to look at them.
Again Not pushing just want to give other options since the Fiamma
and and others were being listed.

Hope this helps. If any questions your welcome to give me a shout.
Jonce
