If you love your caravan holidays you are committed and dedicated. You have to be. Caravan holidays are like no others in the sense that you are in your own little kingdom away from many of life’s everyday luxuries, but you are enjoying the simple life and a cleansing experience away from the stresses and strains of the day-to-day. You are also committed and dedicated because caravanning requires a level of investment in equipment, fixtures and features to make your caravan comfortable and practical. And items such as awning poles come into this category.
Caravans are great family spaces and contemporary versions are fitted with all modern luxuries, whether they are mobile or static caravans. But for an extended stay you need additional space in order to maximise your time and enjoyment in the great outdoors. This is where awnings are essential, as they provide additional usable space outside the caravan which is ideal for:
- Storage
- Outdoor seating, even when the weather isn’t great
- Play areas for the kids
- Quiet reading areas in the evenings
- A place to escape
Awnings are one of the essentials you need for a caravan holiday, therefore, and while you need storage for your awnings to keep them protected, you also need to protect your awning poles. Awnings are only as effective as the poles that keep them up, so awning poles are just as important as the awnings themselves.
Why awning poles are important
You need to select and care for your awning poles in between caravan holidays because they are essential in ensuring the awning structure is effective. So awning poles are important because:
- Structure – Awning poles ensure your awning has structure and integrity. They hold up the awning and ensure it can withstand winds.
- Water run-off – Maintaining tension on an awning is necessary so that water runs off and doesn’t pool on top of the awning. This can damage the fabric and cause unfortunate incidents if the water suddenly runs down.
- Adjustable – Most awning poles are adjustable so that the awning itself can be moved to maintain shelter if the weather deteriorates, or to allow sunshine in if the weather improves. This flexibility also comes into play if you are pitched on uneven ground, as the awning poles can be set at different lengths to allow for this and to maintain stability.
