So where should I place my sun canopy tie down strap? over the top and 'canvas' or under neath this but over the windout arms and the supporting legs? I've tried both ways and the latter seems to me better but is it? Any thoughts?

Mine always go round the 'arms' right by the front rail, Mickysf.. I'd never put such strong straps across the canopy itself for fear of them doing damage in such windy conditions.

Thanks all, I just wish I'd had this info. when I bought my rather cheap kit. I like the one illustrated by HD but may be the Fiamma one is engineered better. are they that more expensive?

Same system on our Thule wind out awning. (Or is it having now seen DDs post, I thought ours slid into the front rail, my memory perhaps? wink)
