ARB LED Touring awning center droop

[Zanimal]

Hey All,

What am I doing wrong?
Everything is pulled taut but it looks like the LED light itself is causing the droop.

Thanks!

I don't think you're doing anything wrong, but the material may not have been pulled tight enough before stitching. In another words, if the pivot ends at the spine were farther apart from another by, say 3/4", that might make that end of the awning taught. Does this sound about right?

I purchased a spare pole. Drilled a small hole at the end farthest away from the vehicle, in the middle. I lay one end of the pole in the track & insert the other end in the rail. When it rains it keeps the middle from drooping. Having that extra pole can come in handy just in case.

Rain droop can be bad, lol.
