Subject:Shady Boy: That bad in wind?

Hi all.

Searching the archives, it seems that possible water ingress (I think
a solution was found) and how the awning handles windy conditions, are
2 main complaints.

So. Shady Boy owners. How bad is this thing in windy conditions? Do
the poles actually help to stabilize the awning?

Recent weather conditions at Ft. Flagler Wet Westy event showed that
Mother Nature "always wins", (it got dang windy at times) but the
Shady Boy deploys quickly and if I'm not mistaken, can attach to the
rain gutter with clamps; no holes need to be drilled?

Thanks,

Neil.
