Can you set the wind speed that you wish to have the awning retract automatically? I assume different awnings can withstand different amount of wind.

Sorry, I don't know. By the time I found out that it needed 240v to work, it was past the window to return it. I thought it was a battery operated item. since they would take it back, I threw it away.

Yes it has 3 settings. Just FYI sensor is wireless but must be hard wired power source

They make a hook that is attached to cloth that slides into the groove of the metal roller of your awning.I use two hooks per bulb one on each side. You can buy the hooks online or some Walmarts.

We use it outdoors in a covered awning. It works quite well. Our dog loves it.

Mine is under a pergola (which is attached to my deck) and have never had a problem with wind. I actually have 3 shades under there and not a problem all season.

With those winds, at the very least the frame will distort and deform. Mine is staked down and located in an area sheltered by trees and a deer fence, and when I leave the door up, any significant wind pushes the frame out of shape. It does better when the door is down, but I wouldn't think of using one in 65 mph winds. I'm beginning to believe the disclaimer printed in the instructions that these are for temporary use, meaning a couple of years at best.

I'm sorry, but I really don't know. I secured mine with some thin string to a gazebo-like structure. It held throughout our horrible winter with winds sometimes up to 35-45mph. Could you possible tie it up with long string to a nearby window?

I have not had problems with wind on my unit. Will lose reception due to rain or snow, but that's a symptom of satellite TV. Could your unit not be anchored well, i.e., not correctly mounted or could your roof be flexing or rig move as others suggested as possibility, or could there be leaves or limbs blowing to impact the view of the satellites?

It really depends on the size of your trees. I have the 5x5 and it would be easy enough to set up/take down for temporary use, but I would practice it first so as to know what I needed to do to not damage the trees. I use mine in the fall to extend my growing season and haven't had any wind damage. However, I also set it up taut, but not tight with the rope/ paracording included with the house.

There is a clip on one end and a roundish hook on the other end. Just clip it on the bottom of the awning. Easy up and easy down

Call the company directly and they will tell you which one to order. They are super helpful! We replaced ours and it holds up to -30 and 20-30 mph winds in Minot, ND! Buy with confidence.

I am amazed at the strength and durability of this tape. Although I've not used it on an awning, I think it would work as a temporary fix that may last awhile. Just make sure the awning is clean and dry. You can also ask questions directly to the company about their products. I did once and got a respnse back the next day.

If I ever looked at who manufactured the awning, I can't remember. I bought it for a woman across town, who I have been helping with her home projects. It appeared to be a decent unit for the price and went up and worked just fine. All the reports from her have been very favorable. I hope that is of some help to you.

I had a power awning and it was hard to slide into the track. It would be easier with a manual awning. As fas as I know the groove is the same for all awnings

I was put on the left awning. If I remember right that should work either way. You have to follow a setup instruction to get it work correctly. I spent little extra time to get it right. But never have any problem with it since I installed. It was great unit and price.

I think you would have to modify the base, as this needs to be set up by 2 people and tied to balance the screen. Not sure about the wind, but we always tied and staked it down.

I guess that all depends on how much wind you are talking about. Lol The best part is if it does get messed up it's flexible enough to just finger work back where you want it.

Assuming you are talking about the manual control awning, yes. It is not necessary for the awning to be fully extended. You have the control (simply by stopping your action) of extending or retracting the awning to the position that works best for you. While you probably could do the same for the motor powered version, I don't have that model.
