If you’ve ever been woken up by the relentless snap and rattle of a flapping awning, you’ll know it’s enough to ruin a good campsite. And the reality is, it’s not just about noise. Constant movement puts stress on your awning, your rig and your nerves.
That’s where the Ground Dogs Anti Flap Kit steps in. Purpose-built for Australian campers, it stops the shake, secures your setup and helps you get on with enjoying camp without the background soundtrack of canvas slapping in the wind.
Why Awning Flap Is More Than Just Annoying
Windy afternoons and stormy nights are part of the deal when you’re camping in Australia. Whether you’re on the coast, in the bush or parked up at a caravan park, an unsecured awning is one gust away from becoming a liability.
Ongoing flap and vibration:
-
Weakens awning stitching and fabric
-
Adds pressure to awning arms and mounts
-
Can lead to bent poles and torn seams
-
Turns sleep-ins into restless nights
This is why an anti flap kit should be a staple in every caravan and camper trailer tool kit.
What’s Inside the Ground Dogs Anti Flap Kit?
Each kit includes:
-
4 x Ground Dogs Tarp Grippers designed with deep-set corrugated jaws that grip securely without damaging your awning fabric.
-
4 x Bungee Cords with a hook-and-stopper design for simple, secure tensioning around your awning arms.
No drilling. No extra brackets. No fuss. Just gear that works.
Want to level it up? Pair the kit with our Ground Dogs Awning Anchor Kit for a full stabilisation setup. It’s ideal for longer trips or exposed sites.
Easy Setup, Rock Solid Results
Using the Anti Flap Kit is quick and straightforward:
-
Loosen the gripper’s wing nut.
-
Position it over your awning fabric and tighten to secure.
-
Thread the bungee cord through the gripper and loop it over your awning arm.
-
Hook the bungee to create downward tension.
You’ll notice a drop in movement immediately. Less strain on your gear, more peace of mind for you.
Works with Other Ground Dogs Essentials
If you already use Ground Dogs Screw-in Anchor Pegs, the Anti Flap Kit plugs straight into your existing setup. These pegs are built to bite deep and hold fast in tough Aussie ground including sand, dirt and gravel.
You can also bundle the Anti Flap Kit with:
-
Awning Anchor Kit for full arm support in windy conditions
-
Tiedown Top Up Kit for tarps, tents or extra tie-downs
-
Camping Starter Bundle with all the essentials in one pack
All Ground Dogs gear is interchangeable and compatible so you can build your setup to suit the conditions.
More Than Just Awnings
This kit isn’t a one-trick pony. It also helps with:
-
Tightening and stabilising gazebo walls
-
Stopping flap on awning valances
-
Securing tarp shelters or privacy screens
The grippers hold strong and won’t tear through fabric, even under load.
Made for Australian Conditions
Every part of the Ground Dogs Anti Flap Kit is designed for life outdoors in Australia. UV-resistant bungees, heavy-duty grippers and corrosion-proof components all stand up to the rough stuff.
Use it in salt air, red dust or unpredictable mountain weather. It just works.
