Subject:Shady Boy Awning wind squeak dampening?
From:gneiss9

I've got a Shady Boy Awning and have only experienced it in wind at
night once.  The fiberglass poles were dry and where they fit into
the Aluminum holes in base the wind caused a very annoying squeak
while we were trying to sleep inside the cozy cabin.  During the very
next night it was raining so no creak/squeak was heard so I can only
deduce that it needs to be damped by means of a lubricant or teflon
tape maybe?!

Has anyone solved this by perhaps lubricating the pole ends?  Looking
to try something that won't gather too much dust of course or cause
my storage bags to be covered in greasy lubricant...
