Hi

Can anyone give me any tips on how to erect the awning to make sure that water doesent pool on the roof in heavy rainfall. We are putting our teenage daughter in an awning tent this year but I am worried about how it will fair if we have bad weather. We havent had the Pennine long and havent really got the hang of erecting the awning to its best. Just using my own muscle to stretch the roof poles doesent seem to be enough.

Is it an old one? We had same probloem when we used our first time but turned out we had it wrong. Make sure extention parts are either side of the middle front cross bar, if that makes sense.
