Dorema Adjustable Awning Storm Pole

Add to wishlist

• Adjustable length – Can be extended to suit various awning depths and heights, making it flexible across different models.

• Material options: Steel (25mm or 28mm), EasyGrip Aluminium, FibreTech Plus Fibreglass – Choose the material best suited to your frame strength and usage (seasonal vs touring).

• Simple clamp-mount attachment – Designed to attach directly to your awning’s frame pole for additional vertical or angled support.

• Designed for adverse weather reinforcement – Helps reduce frame movement, sagging panels or fabric stress in tougher conditions.

This pole is sold as one unit; if your awning is wide or highly exposed, using two (one each side) might be prudent. When selecting, you’ll need to match: (1) the material type to your existing frame (e.g., steel or fibreglass), (2) the length band to your awning size/width, and (3) the mounting clamp to your frame tube diameter. It’s particularly recommended for seasonal or longer-stay awnings where wind exposure is greater. For best effect: fit the pole, adjust height to tension the roof or front panel, peg and guy the base securely, then monitor tension during stays.

• One adjustable storm support pole

• Adjustable clamp fitting to attach to existing frame pole

• Height lock or thumb screw mechanism for securing extension

• Foot plate or base securing point (depending on model)

• Matching second pole for two-sided reinforcement

• Extra pegging/guy rope kit for increased anchorage

• Veranda or support bars to broaden front coverage

• Roof lining or fabric tensioners to complement improved structure

• Carry/storage sleeve for the pole when touring

1. Will this storm pole fit my awning?
   Yes — provided you choose the correct material and size band to match your frame and awning depth.

2. How do I install it?
   Attach the clamp to your frame pole, extend the support to the required height, align it to give proper tension, peg or fix the base, then re-tension your awning fabric.

3. What’s the difference between the material types?
   Steel gives maximum strength for seasonal sites; aluminium is lighter for easier storage or touring; fibreglass (FibreTech Plus) offers light weight and corrosion resistance—use based on your awning setup.

4. Will it help in strong winds?
   Yes — it provides additional support which reduces movement and stress, especially for the front panel or roof apex during windy conditions.

5. How many should I use?
   In many cases one is sufficient. For wider awnings, or those in particularly exposed areas, two (one each side) might be better.

6. Does it affect my awning fabric or frame warranty?
   No — when fitted correctly, this accessory supports the existing structure without compromising warranty, assuming it is compatible and installed properly.

7. How heavy is it / how easy to transport?
   Weight varies depending on material and length; check spec when ordering. The aluminium and fibreglass options are more touring-friendly.

8. When should I use one?
   When you notice roof sag, water pooling, or if your site is exposed to consistent wind. It’s a proactive reinforcement for longer-stay and seasonal use.

9. Does it replace the need for guy ropes or storm straps?
   No — it supplements your anchorage system but does not replace good pegging, guying and storm strap usage where required.

10. How do I choose the correct length band?
    Measure the front depth of your awning and the height from side wall to ground; match this to the adjustable range provided by the pole (e.g., up to 300 cm) and pick the closest size band to ensure correct support fit.
