the impact drivers seem to be expensive or have people found a cheaper one to do the job?
what size coachscrews seem to cover most tasks? I am thinking 150 & 250mm x 10 mm ?

Just a normal cordless drill that I use to wind down the stabiliser legs.

This is what I use the 300cm for soft ground the 200cm for normal and the 100cm for my annex matting,the impact driver plus a drill cost $99.00 from the big green shed ,the 300 coach screws were two 200 welded together with the plain shaft cut off $3.10 each the 100 coach screws were about $1.15, the big green shed has those drills and impact wrench,s on special now and then, hope this is of some help.i think 200cm is the longest you can bye.
Standard 24v drill. 200mm L for guy ropes. 100mm L for front awning shade.

Love your brackets. Much better than mine. Back to the workshop.
Still haven't picked a few more 200mm screws to extend to 400 .. I'm a bit slack these days.

These two pics are for you Cupie,the brackets are left over,s from house solar panel fitment,the slot and the hole were in the bracket all i had to do was drill the hole bigger and cut into the slot, if you have the coach screw at the wright angle it puts the bracket inline with the rope, you can use the brackets left or right handed.
