Cassette Awning Tie Down Kit - Suits Fiamma & Thule

WHY YOU NEED THIS KIT

Protect Your Investment: Cassette awnings can be expensive. Wind damage from inadequate Tie Downs can destroy your awning in minutes.

Peace of Mind: Sleep soundly knowing your awning is properly secured, even in unexpected weather changes.

Versatile Performance: Works in challenging conditions where standard tent pegs fail:

• Extreme Hard Packed Terrain.
• Soft, muddy ground - Big Dog Screw in Pegs™ upgrade recommended.
• Beach Sandy - Sand Dog Screw in Pegs® upgrade recommended.   
• No need to use Anchor Plate when on the beach.

Why the strange, shaped peg hole?

It’s to allow a Big Dog Screw in Pegs™ to be used if you encounter very soft conditions!

OPERATING TIPS

Weather Considerations:

• Cassette Awnings are considered a sunshade, suitable only in light winds.
• Your Awning is a big investment, don’t believe anyone that tells you that you don’t have to anchor it.
• Strong winds expected? Your Awning is like a big sail just waiting for the wind the get under it, be ready to retract your Awning to avoid damage.

Ground Conditions: 

• Hard Rocky ground: use Tuff Dog Screw in Pegs™ 
• Soft/muddy ground: Upgrade to Big Dog Screw in Pegs™
• Beach: Upgrade to Sand Dog Screw in Pegs®
• No need to use Anchor Plate when on the beach

IMPORTANT: Tuff Dog Pegs have LEFT-HAND THREAD - turn COUNTER-CLOCKWISE to install!

This design creates a flush, low-profile setup that minimizes trip hazards while maximizing stability.
