Threading awning over the external light

[JTQ]

JTQ,
I know you have the T shirts but isn’t that what I said earlier with the photo of the current Fix on? See#18.

Again if I am wrong I apologise now.

The OP cannot stand on a step etc to reach the upper level of the awning auxiliary bead to attach the Fix on clamp. That is his / her problem.
The one I showed does not need threading through and has certainly been in active use for at least 15 years. But you still need a step and to reach and attach it.

Indeed, now I see you had already picked up on the point, I was just responding to what I could see in the photo and comment in #22, not back reading to see it had been addressed.
Apologies.

Reply to you all. First of all apologies for the delay but have been on a cruise!

We do have the more modern clamps, but as some have said neither of us is safe on a step ladder nowadays (plus hubby has a (minor!) fractured spine!

Will buy one of the pulleys suggested - seen them before and am passing Towsure in Sheffield tomorrow.

I think it is a case of the broom handle but will see if there is scope to pull the awning through a tad further to fit the right-hand clamp a bit lower down.

We have got a cheap inflatable and while it is easy to erect it is VERY flimsy.

Off down south next week, so will report back.
