i bought a pair of clip straps for my seasonal awning this year but after a walk round the site and talking to other owners decided not to use them. there was 3 awnings on site were the stitching had given way at the point where the fixed clip is attatched .
.
one of them had also torn and patched up,   but to be fair the where left up all season and a few years old

Do the ones on ebay fit "most" awnings?   Dont some people put some sort of toweling or pipe lagging stuff round the strap to prevent rubbing?

Thanks

Anything passing over the awning will have the possibility of rubbing as it moves in the wind. One alternative is to strap the frame poles down instead.
