Awning Rail Stoppers

Thanks to all the other responders, as mentioned the purpose of the stoppers is to prevent  in my case our new Tekla Sun Canopy from moving across the rail in strong winds, the other option is to run a guy rope from the eyelet on the Canopy beading to ground lever which I feel would be rather un sightly.

That's TELTA sky 400 sun canopy 

Thanks R&R for the reply

We've used a porch awning for a good number of years now and even in highish winds we've never had it move across the awning rail one bit, and no we don't have any guy ropes either.

That's because it's fastened down next to the caravan, with a sun canopy that isn't possible hence the " need" for the stoppers. QED

Actually the total opposite of QED there wedgy .

I said a porch awning which isn't fastened down next to any part of my caravan apart from the part that slides into the roof rails. In fact a porch awning could be said to have more sail area for the wind to push against than a simple canopy?

Looking at a picture of your canopy those straps (and its pegging to them and the corner walls pegs) will stop any sideways movement in my view but your choice.

Actually I believe it dates to around 1830 wedgy from an Irish writer whose name currently escapes me but it's still a good rule to follow, but as I said your choice.
