I'm installing a retractable awning on an external wall using resin anchors. I naturally plan to add a washer between the nut and the bracket. Given that there will be movement transferred through to this joint (both from opening and closing, and wind forces), it is my understanding that a spring washer would be the best thing to use to prevent the movement from loosening the nut. Is my understanding correct?
Spring washer or penny washer?

Or a lock nut
Much better to use a penny washer and a Nyloc nut in my opinion!
