Awning storm straps

They are all much of a sameness but make sure they have good anti chafing pads for the corners, and good strong anchors with springs to allow flexure. Something around 50 mm width would be suitably strong.

For anti chafing pads. we went to Halfords or similar and got seat belt cushions.

I cannot help on the choice of awning straps, as I don't use them. But if you give them a couple of twists before pegging them in, that will stop them from "Humming" when the winds get up a bit.

Watch out for the ones that claim to be “universal” and clip into storm strap fixings already on the awning. In my experience they are not universal” and unclip at the slightest tug.

We have storm pegs, springs and straps in our garage. What we use is the storm pegs and the load straps bought from Halfords. The storm strap peg is pegged down inside the awning at the corners. The load strap is then taken from the peg up and over awning pole at the corner. Same way as Isabella storm straps.
We manage to get the Isabella storm strap kit at a reasonable price hence the old ones in the garage. Had them on Preloved website for awhile, but no takers.

Both our Izzies use the same Isabella storm straps. 18 inch stakes into the ground secured with nylon webs onto the frame poles as described. Never had a problem in major storms. Air awnings can’t use this system. My Loft bound Kampa wasn’t designed for the perfect Izzie system!

Good luck. Hope you find them. We used Aldi Ratchet straps ( pack of 4 for £10 at the time) for exactly the same effect at a fraction of the cost.

Buy load straps from Halfords. I am sure that I have the large metal pegs plus springs somewhere and will try and check.
