This clothesline is simple to make, simple to put up and pull down. The materials you need are two rubber tie-downs, swages, shrink tape, clothesline, heat gun and swaging tool. All available from the green shed. The plastic coating needs to be removed before swaging, 2mm swages, and 200mm rubber straps x 2. Requires no hole drilling in the awning strut. Ours gets used all the time, so I know it works. More info if required.
The swaging tool is in with the swages, balustrade section, costing about $35. I know what you are thinking, and yes I have used the tool to do electrical swaging, if you just squeeze the tool just so far, does a good job, just don't tell anybody I told you so!

When bush camping the cheapest cloths line is a tarzan line, [ tree 2 tree].

And a small turnbuckle on one end to adjust the tension, Ian.
Jon, I think Ian's tie down cords are stronger than bungy cords - but yes, safety has to be considered. It does overcome the problem of having to drill, rivet the awning arms & having them jam.
