4x4 Side Awning Tie Down Kit with Straps

4x4 Side Awning Tie Down Kit with Straps Description

WHY YOU NEED THIS KIT

Protect Your Investment: Side 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 Peg™ upgrade recommended.
• Beach, sandy - Sand Dog Screw in Peg® upgrade recommended.
• No need to use the 4x4 Anchor Plates when on the beach.

Why the strange, shaped peg hole in the 4x4 Anchor Plate?

It’s to allow a Big Dog Peg to be used if you encounter very soft conditions!

OPERATING TIPS

Weather Considerations:

• Side 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 just like a big sail just waiting for the wind to 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 the 4x4 Anchor Plate when on the beach

IMPORTANT: Tuff Dog Screw in 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.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Peg won't go in: Check you're turning counterclockwise. Ensure adequate downward pressure. Try alternate location if ground is too hard.

Strap too tight/loose: Adjust tension gradually. Remember awning needs some flexibility in wind.

Peg pulling out: Ground conditions are too soft for Tuff Dogs, Use Big Dogs.

Awning stress: Reduce strap tension, safety springs should not be distorted.

Remember: Proper installation and appropriate use will ensure years of reliable awning security and peace of mind on your adventures.
