Our van is on a seasonal pitch. It is on gravel covered hardstanding. We can only leave an awning up continuously during July and August as the site is up a hill and it can be windy.
So we bought a full poled awning for the purpose. It is a seasonal quality canvas, has steel poles and we have an external tie down and have ratchet straps to hold the frame down internally.
We tried it over the bank holiday weekend. It was windy on Sunday and as the canvas moved, some of the pegs pulled out. We weren't alone, a few other awnings had similar problems. We have experienced this before with our air awning. We think it is the hard standing substrate that isn't holding the pegs.
We generally use screw pegs. Any suggestions for something better. Thanks in advance
