How To Prepare An Awning For A Rainstorm

VideoThere are a variety of preparations and precautions, to protect an awning from a heavy rainstorm.

Tee-Pee the adjustable height tent poles, by lowering the end tent poles.
Add bungee cords to the tent pole tips, to keep the wind from lifting the awning off of the poles. In this case the bungee cord is doubled over and connects to the locking mechanism on the outer adjustable height tent pole.



 The center pole uses the full length of the bungee cord.
A strong steel tent stake, with a 4" spring, and a small pulley attached, also helps handle the wind associated with a rainstorm. We only use one tie-down line, off of the corner of the outer tent poles, with this set-up.
 You can also lower all of the adjustable height tent poles, so the awning tilts at an angle downwards.



When a storm sneaks in unexpectedly, you can tilt your outer tent poles inward quickly, for the rainwater to run off the ends. (3 poles)
Another emergency measure is to loosen the rope tension adjusters, so the water funnels off, down through the center front of the awning. (2 poles)
With many poles, remove the center poles for the funnel effect.
It is best to have an emergency plan in place, to prevent popped grommets and bent tent poles.
After the storm passes, the Sunbrella marine grade awning fabric will appear a bit stretched. When it dries out, it  bounces back into shape.

 Lower all of the adjustable height tent poles, so the awning tilts downward for forward rainwater run-off. Graduating the poles from highest to lowest, can help the rainwater flow off to the lowest side.
