Is the awning weatherproof?

Yes, all our awnings are crafted with 100% waterproof Ripstop Polyester Oxford fabric. This premium-grade fabric is not only waterproof but also UV and mould-resistant, ensuring your awning stays in excellent condition and looks great, no matter the weather. The awning’s frame and legs are constructed from sturdy aluminium, while the fixings are made of rust-proof stainless steel. This combination guarantees long-lasting durability and reliable performance, giving you peace of mind during every adventure. Designed for both style and functionality, our awnings are built to handle the unpredictable UK weather while offering you reliable shelter on all your outdoor journeys.

Can I use my awning in heavy rain?

Yes, our vehicle awnings are designed to handle rain, but it’s crucial to position the awning correctly to ensure water runs off effectively. To prevent heavy rainfall from pooling on the canopy fabric, lower one of the front legs slightly more than the other. This simple adjustment allows rainwater to run off the front side of the awning canopy, protecting it from potential damage caused by pooling. However, in extreme weather conditions , we highly recommend taking down your awning and packing it away. This precaution helps prevent unnecessary strain or damage to your awning, ensuring it stays in top condition for your next adventure.

How do I fit my awning to my vehicle?

Our vehicle awnings are designed for effortless installation and come with a complete fitting kit, including bolts, brackets, and even tools, to make the process as simple as possible. To ensure long-lasting performance, all fixings are crafted from premium stainless steel 304-grade metal, providing exceptional resistance to corrosion and rust while adding extra durability and strength.

Acoustic Badger – 21 March 2025
Just purchased and fitted 2.5 mtr awning with sides from Chris at ‘Tent & Trail’. Fantastic product and very competitive pricing. Chris is super helpful, very passionate about his products and so easy to deal with. Cannot recommend this independently owned company enough. Awesome.

Absolutely fantastic high quality awning, poles & cover. And THE most helpful company in terms of advice about the awning and the rails that I needed to purchase to fit onto my van. I had been looking for over 3 months for a suitable awning…no other company came close to tent & trail in terms of the quality of the awning material..and in terms of helpful customer service, installation guides & pictures… would highly recommend Tent & Trail😎

Really pleased with our awning and the service from Tent & Trail – Thank you!
We have it installed on our T5. It was hard to find an awning that works with our pop-top but T&T were able to advise on the fixings we needed to get and install for the awning to be fitted.
The awning itself is great quality, easy to put out and pack up single handed. T&T fitted the awning and showed us how it all worked – really great service.

Jamie Cook

I recently bought a tent and trail adventure light roof tent and it is excellent! The whole buying experience with Chris was as easy as possible as I was able to go and see the tents in person as Chris opened his showroom on a Saturday morning just for me. The tent itself is very good. Its first outing was a 5 day trip through the highlands of Scotland and it held up to sun, wind, rain and midges with no issues. It also stays dark even when the sun is up so you don’t wake up super early! Thanks Chris!
