High Wind Warning

Calling all clips needed! With high winds predicted (40+mph or 65+kph) with higher gusts and having a slight issue with another recent wind storm extra new clips were purchased and arrived just on time. It seems these clips work great for a season but when used for a second year some loose the full holding strength.

Adding more clips will help, since it is all about strength in numbers. Each is sized for the metal hoop and about 4” long which is an ideal size for an easy and quick application. Also, at the end of the season this size is manageable to remove as much longer would be even hard to remove (risking breaking them) and longer ones may not be able to match the curve of the hoop very well reducing the maximum holding power.
