We bought a Sunncamp Ultima awing 180 plus last year and despite seam sealing it still tends to leak and ponds above the uppermost cross bar. Tried everything to tension and peg out guys but it still tends to pond and leak after very heavy downpours. Anyone else had similar issues with this product? Thinking of investing in a Doerma Mistral.

regards

Had a Dorema Mistral for last 2 years and without us making our own rear pads and poles to seal against wind and rain entering was not to good.Also with only the angled goal post frame flapped about a lot even after adding my own storm straps to the steel poles as you will see in my gallery.Have now bought a better porch awning although approx £100 dearer has rear poles and pads sewn in
