Step By Step Instructions

  • Thread the tail end of the rope through the hole in the extruded aluminum channel frame

  • Tie the end in a Trucker's Knot, (similar to the loop you create when tying your shoe)

  • Tighten the loop

  • Using a sledge or rock, pound the stake into the ground at an angle about 6 feet away from the awning pole
