G'day Alex,

I don't know if SupaPeg will be represented at the Maitland show, you'll need to check in with them directly.
In terms of the brackets, there are 3 in total and all must be used for installation.  There is also an option for sidewalls which you can get from SupaPeg as a full kit, or as individual walls.
Hope that helps.

G'day Bailey,

I've just checked in with SupaPeg to confrim.  The walls are made from polycotton canvas, so are lighter than full canvas walls.  You can get away with the walls without poles in calm weather, but best to get the poles up if you're experiencing any wind or rain as the walls can act like a sail and knock the awning around abit.
Hope that helps.

G'day Ash,

Being a canvas product seasoning before your first big trip in the rain would be the best way to go.  
I've got an Outbound Shield and absolutely love it, havent had any issues with leaking but we did give it a season, and the first few trips we did with rain, it wasn't too heavy.
One of our last big trips we were caught in a heavy tropical storm with near on 24hrs of solid rain, and it performed perfectly.

Hope that helps!

 

G'day Harry,

SupaPeg have tested this in up to 30Knots with no issues so far, so around 55km p/hr.  But havent had the opportunity to test beyond that.
I personally have this awning and have been in gusts of up to 60km, but with the tiedowns on - no poles.
Hope that helps.
