We have just got back from a 2 week trip to Fort William.  Winds of 45mph for one whole day and night but our outwell nebraska weathered the storms with the excellent help of our delta pegs.  Tent never moved an inch although it was shaking a bit at times, so would say invest in a pack of these pegs as they are brilliant. Happy camping.

<<If the weather is really bad you could use webbing storm straps which are often used on caravan awnings and go right over the tent from one side to the other thus holding it down.>>

I suppose in an extreme emergency that would be OK, but who is going to carry such gear against the chance of such a need?

I don't know

Secondly wouldn't the chafing against the fabric of the tent be likely to cause damage, particularly on synthetic fabrics? Caravan awnings tending to be made of more robust materials.

Quite possibly...disregard my suggestion
