It's aimed at owners of Fiamma F45, F65 or F80 awnings who want less flap noise and a flatter roofline in windy or wet weather.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy This Product\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA box awning canopy that isn't held up in the middle tends to sag over time, which lets rainwater collect in the dip and lets the fabric flap noisily in a breeze. This rod extends underneath the canopy and locks at the length you need, pulling the fabric taut without any drilling or glue, and it's easy to unclip and stow away in the supplied wall clips when you're not using it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTelescopic aluminium rod\u003c\/strong\u003e – 30 mm anodised tubing that
