FAQs

How do I install the storm anchor pegs?

Insert the pegs into the ground at an angle, using a mallet or similar tool to drive them in firmly. Ensure that they are secure and can withstand pulling forces.

What if my awning doesn't have tie-down points?

This kit is designed to attach to most awnings, however, if your awning lacks tie-down points, consider using alternative anchoring methods suitable for your awning design. Always check the awning manufacturer's guidelines.

How do I maintain the webbing straps?

Rinse the webbing straps with fresh water after each use and allow them to air dry completely before storing. Regularly check for signs of wear and tear, such as fraying or damage.

Can I use this kit on soft ground?

While the kit is designed for a variety of ground conditions, very soft ground may require the use of longer pegs or alternative anchoring methods to ensure secure attachment. Consider using ground anchors specifically designed for softer surfaces.

How do I know if the straps are tight enough?

The straps should be taut but not overly tight. The shock-absorbing springs should have some give to absorb sudden gusts of wind without overstressing the awning fabric or the anchors. A slight give is normal.

What is the weight of the Outdoor Revolution Tie Down Kit?

The weight of the Outdoor Revolution Tie Down Kit is 1.04kg.

Troubleshooting

The awning is still unstable in windy conditions.

Check that the anchor pegs are firmly inserted into the ground at an angle. Ensure that the straps are taut and properly attached to the awning's tie-down points.

The straps are too short.

Ensure that you are using both strap lengths (66cm and 3m) to accommodate different anchoring distances. If the provided straps are consistently too short, you may need to use additional straps.

The shock-absorbing springs are not functioning correctly.

Ensure the springs are correctly installed and free from obstruction. Check for any damage or degradation of the spring's flexibility.

The pegs are not holding in the ground.

Try using pegs that are suitable for the ground condition (e.g., sand pegs, rock pegs, etc.). Relocate the peg to a more suitable location, making sure to drive the pegs in at an angle.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Choose suitable ground around the caravan and awning for anchoring. Ensure the ground is firm enough to hold the pegs.
  2. Insert the storm anchor pegs at an angle to maximize grip. Securely fix them into the ground.
  3. Attach the webbing straps to the awning's tie-down points and connect them to the anchor pegs.
  4. Adjust the tension on the straps using the buckles, ensuring they are taut but not overly tight.
  5. The shock-absorbing springs should be in line, buffering the wind.

Compatibility:

This kit is designed for universal compatibility with most caravan awnings. However, it's always best to check your awning's manual to confirm the tie-down points and ensure compatibility. The effectiveness will vary depending on your awning's design.

Care:

After use, clean the pegs and webbing straps of any dirt or debris. Store the kit in a dry place to prevent corrosion and prolong its lifespan. Inspect the webbing straps and springs periodically for wear and tear, replacing any damaged components promptly. Avoid storing the kit in direct sunlight for extended periods.
