With such strength in frame and canvas, a correctly tensioned Isabella awning is very seldom damaged in stormy weather. All Isabella awnings are supplied with guy ropes to be placed on the corner poles and centre cross. It is important that the guy ropes are placed on the corner poles and centre cross and under no circumstances on roof spikes, canopy hooks or tubes. Neither spikes nor hooks are made for this and they will quickly be destroyed. In addition, most Isabella models are supplied with extra storm guy strips for which special rubber rings can be bought. If the special rings are not used, the storm guy strips will tear. The storm guy strips are not meant to be used for tensioning the awning, the awning will then lose shape. The ropes are to hang down loose so that they will only be tensioned when the wind is blowing. Extra rafter poles can be used in order to secure the awning further. These can easily be fixed by means of the FixOns. Rafter poles and FixOns are available as optional extras. IsaLink storm guy fitting which fits onto all Isabella awnings with storm guy tabs from 1978 onwards, and 30 cm plastic pegs, are available as optional extras from your Isabella dealer. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
