On these kind of awnings the seams may not have been sealed as good as you might hope so its worth spraying something like Fenwicks proofer (about £10) around all the seams, inside and out, on a sunny day and let the awning dry. Just gives it an extra chance of longevity. Seen plenty around that have seen a few years.

We have a similar awning of the Star Camp variety as we got a bit tired of putting up a full awning when there are only the two of us and it stood up so well in a gale a couple of months back. They may seem flimsy, but the nature of the structure, once up, seems to give it its strength.

Take a look how we woke up and found ours one morning lol, hubby squeezed out of the door and pushed it up from inside all the snow fell off and it just popped back into shape again, good as new.
Just shows how durable they are.

Mine lasted two weeks, tookit down, cleaned the skirt, dried it on the line when I got home and promptly left it on the ceramic hob, which was on low and melted a nice big hole right throught it. ( Dickhead comes to mind ), at least it did to the mind of the better half.
