If you saw the post using wooden poles to hold the awning stretched tight here is another thought. My parents had a 1959 Nimrod Camper with a add on tent room new. Dad made the same type of horizontal rods from thin wall conduit cutting to length and flating the ends and drilling the end to allow them to be secured to the poles. His vertical poles had tips that went through the awning top so he drilled the holes large enough to fit over the pole tips, put them on next, then put the canvas on top It held everything very straight and stood through some strong storms. He also used 1/2 inch steel rods that I welded Links from a piece of 3/8s chain on to tie the guy ropes to, these drove in with out bending and lasted forever. This is less expensive and they wont warp.
