We bought this awning for short breaks as is light and easy to put up. Even on the first attempt it only took us 30 mins. With practice we think we should do it in half of that time. We did use rock pegs as on hardcore. We also found the ladders provided too hard so used some rubber ladders and found them better allowing some give. On the last night the awning was tested with very strong gusty winds and performed very well, with no side poles or roof pole. Just make sure you peg out properly and tension poles and guy ropes properly. Good value for the money we bought at end of season so only paid £130. Definitely recommend.
