    That awning looks bomb proof! I do what u do on the centre pole as well as the corners inside with ratchet straps and 18 inch rebar pegs all round! The pegging is the hardest job for the bloke! I wouldn’t put a strap over the canvas as it cause friction damage to it, thx for vid 👍🏻 hope this helps people that use coat hangers for pegs 🫣

      Cheers Mike , ye we learnt the hard way about using those poxy little pegs for hard standing, to be fair we used that awning for 2 years and it didn’t run to bad , if we could keep foam under it lol 😂… now we just have a motorhome as we’ve sold the caravan and awning. Thanks for watching

    Hey guys quick question , what do you do you put in the floor in the awning as I noticed it was stone and would you keep the awning up over the winter period ? Great video and very helpful 👍🏻

    • @FieldviewAdventures
      @FieldviewAdventures  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Hiya so we used to have the awning up April - October but took down through the winter. We had a layer of foam interlocking mats then a mesh awning mat topped with a proper made to measure awning carpet then just placed some fluffy rugs here and there 😊

    hi thanks for the video, i see you've moved on to a motorhome but my question is valid for any awning, what did you put on the floor before your rugs etc, i would think you have to have something waterproof but possibly breathable, hope you can help, cheers derek

    • @FieldviewAdventures
      @FieldviewAdventures  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Hi Derek, so on the floor it’s gravel so we put down the foam click together flooring then a proper breathable awning sheet (like a mesh style) then a made to measure awning carpet which is wipe clean and breathable then just some cheap rugs from a factory outlet.

    Appreciate what you are doing, but it's impossible to watch. To make your video more compelling and informative, you really must take note of a crucial rule about filming: the time lag between what you see and what the viewer's brain can interpret. Sadly, I have to find another video clip to help me with awning erection and subsequent problems and tips. Still and all, thanks for trying to help me. 😊
