Hi all,

Can anyone point me the right direction or recommend an awning storm strap suitable for a 6.6m awning?

I can find them 11m long suitable for a 6m one, but that won't fit, dont want to put too much stress on the frame.

Found a 12.5m one but thats too long surely??!!

Are there adjustable ones? we use a site on the coast in Cornwall, and nearly took off last year so just want the reassurance and extra hold.

TIA

Paul

Out of stock Kelper, but thanks guys. think I may get the larger one then and alter it.

Kelper - just mentioned you in a thread over in the TT section again about that US mildew product - hope you dont mind, he was talking about removing and replacing entire panels of his canvas.

I mentioned that product to try before he spends a fortune on having panels removed.
