We have the regular version. Got them just after our awning was destroyed in Nashville. Didn’t know these support poles existed before the mishap. I just looked at the heavy duty version. I’d spend the extra money and get the heavy duty model. I may buy it myself. Being able to stake down the pole base is nice. We lost the cap from the bottom of one of our poles. I eventually found a suitable replacement cap. The orange cradle comes off of the top of our poles way too often. It’s pretty annoying. I hope they improved on that.
