We had 2 x triangles of material that slid into the Fiamma front rail.
We bought them from Lilypad Wind Blockers, at the same time as the screens.
The Fiamma we had, there was 2 gutter rails so you could use the screen in the lower one and the tie downs in the upper one.
We have seen a broken 'knuckle' when someone used a tie down in the 'wrong' way

Posted on 19/10/2019 19:14 by ABMMine 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.

Me too, hooks around the arms, pegs to hold the feet down, support bar to stop the arms folding, and Really big steel pegs to tether the straps to the ground.
In reality the noise gets too much to sleep before the canopy would fail.
So it gets wound in. (A couple of times in my pj's !).

Posted on 19/10/2019 21:31 by DSB.....as a caravanner with a Thule windout, ours is the same on the 6200. We only ever use our canopy with the tie down kit. We've never had a problem - it's been brilliant.
