| Am I alone in thinking the awning should be a bit stronger than that? |

| And that, my friends, is why wood construction should only be used on residential structures. That awning should have had steel posts imbedded into concrete piers, with steel I-beam spanning over the lanes for horizontal support. Looks to me that they had small steel posts tied down with anchor bolts only. Had they imbedded them in the concrete that probably wouldn't have happened.

Actually according to the article, he was trying to go around the ATM, not into it. Besides, where he lives, affording that kind of trailer is no big deal

Re: (Turbiodiesel!)
Because in a structure that houses something that cars are driving in-and-out of on a regular basis, there should be forward planning that there is a high probability of someone hitting some part of it. It didn't even look strong enough to hold itself up if a simple car had creamed one of the posts.

Wow thats super dumb.
Maybe try driving a car and staying in a tent on your camping trip. Once you master that you can move up to trailers.

maybe the awning collapsing answered your question already.
