Hi we have the Active and the internal tie down kit which works very well as long as you position the central straps carefully so not to block access to doorway. Can't use external straps as the rubbing on roof damages the waterproof/UV protective coating on roof. They screw in with long corskscrew pegs.

Some awning manufactures have dropped the clip on awning straps due to the eventual damage they can do by putting additional tension on the the corner stitching.

We use the internal tie down kit on our Bradcot classic with the Carbon fibre(IXL)? frame poles. A corkscrew peg goes in the ground and a hooped strap goes on the poles at each corner and in the middle.There is another strap attached to the peg and you just pull the two together. They're tucked well out of the way so dont cause a trip hazard or anything getting tangled round them. With the awning pegged out correctly it would take quite a strong wind to dislodge it.
