Our awning has been hanging in the garage all week,think it's dry now☔☔☔
 
I was given a brand new tent from go out doors due to a ripped guy rope so no drying out for me

I went to Chester zoo yesterday with the wife and seen a dirty burger on menu and thought oh yes memories of last week end well they need some tips from cliff not been able to get of toilet all day
 
Not had time to revisit the caravan where we store it but we left it's awning stood in the caravan shower for water to hopefully run off.

During the major downpour (the night one) at Billing one of our awning poles was badly bent due to water pooling on the roof. Paul @Kenzie said he might have one (thanks for the offer mate) but I'll need to check it's design and length etc before knowing what will be needed.

Could get a bit smelly if the air can't circulate 😷
 
I managed to get mine up on Tuesday and used my pet dryer from the inside to dry it off. Then while it was up re waterproofed it.
 
Lmao, I didn't know u had Ur own account on here, u were an absolute diamond girl, thank you for the whiskey and the great company 👍
It's 'the missus'.. Own account partly out of interest, partly so we both support the forum, partly to keep tabs on me! ;)

I can't manage to get the marquee up, not enough people lol, I've managed to lean it up in my pool room to try and air it a little before I hire somewhere to store it lol

Check size of pole and if Paul hasn’t a pole for u , give me a shout , got loads of poles , I’ve even got awnings , full carbon fibre pole set , and annex that would fit your van

Cheers Malc, I'll keep that it mind and let you know how I get on :)

At Billing it was a good job I woke up at 545AM for a drink of water after supping so much ale and went for a cig in the awning... which is when I noticed the bow in the roof of the awning or I'm sure it would have collapsed. Me and 'missus spent 20 minutes moving the caravan step to push up on the roof to get water off and then I had to invert the bent pole to prevent the same (water pooling on awning roof) happening again.
