Awning on Black Wolf Turbo Lite Twin 240

Has anybody had any experience with these tents? Myself and a friend purchased one recently after doing what we considered was a fair amount of research including good reports from the Anaconda guy that sold them to us. We went on our first camping trip on the weekend just gone and granted it was a windy weekend but the awnings on this tent (there's one over the door on each side of the middle room of three rooms) that are secured by way of two poles with guys ropes hoolding down the poles, just flapped all night and drove us insane! There is nowhere to tie them down (ie not use the awnings) and try as we might we couldnt get enough pressure on the poles to keep the awning tight enough so the awnings didnt flap. I am hoping in less windy conditions they wont flap as much but looking at the design I cant see how they wont flap. Just can not believe that for a tent that is so well designed elsewhere they can have made such a big blue with these stupid awnings - cant tie them down, cant take them off - just drove me to distraction. I am extremely disappointed with my $1000 purchase. Has anybody had a similar experience and worked out how to fix the problem?
