Ready to look to pick your awning?
Awnings will fit any vehicle, not just a 4×4.
Whether you’re on holiday or just having a family day out in the UK, our premium quality expedition vehicle side awnings will keep you covered, quite literary. Not only will you be covered but you will also be protected from the elements with our car awning accessories: awning sides, awning fronts and awning rooms.
Side awnings can be fitted to pretty much any vehicle, with roof bars or roof racks. They come in various sizes to suit your car and provide a useful covered area next to your car that you can use to shelter from the rain or sun. This also means you can access your car while they are erected.
Awnings attach to your vehicle’s roof and are opened by hand, pull out or roll out is the most common. Canvas is attached to a strong aluminium metal frame which is supported by legs and secured by pegged guide ropes.
Below are our vehicle side awning size suggestions. These suggestions should give you an idea of what size awning to use on your car. Vehicle requirements vary and an awning can be mounted at any 2 points along its length due to the continuous twin channels on the back face. So just measure how long your vehicle is and the area you want to cover. However, make sure not to have too much overhang from your vehicle, as this can be a hazard to other road users while driving.
Our awnings are designed to be lightweight but durable. All canvas, including walls, windbreaks and extensions are all made from strong flexible 420D rip-stop Oxford polyester. This material is waterproof, mould resistant and provides 100% UV protection. Consequently, this hard-wearing material will be essential on your expedition trip or camping getaway.
All materials used in our vehicle awnings have the same attention to detail. Heavy-duty thick canvas outer bag for storing will protect your awning while travelling and will stop water ingress or dirt from the road. The frame of our awnings are rigid lightweight anodised aluminium poles, designed to be strong but flexible in wind.
We use durable guide ropes for securing your awning in windy weather, plus 2 heavy-duty aluminium pegs, no cheap flimsy pegs here! We also use premium quality zippers for extra durability on the trail.
All Tent & Trail awnings come equipped with a full fitting kit (bolts, brackets, even tools) with detailed instructions on how to fit to your vehicle.
All requirements vary and the awning can be mounted at any 2 points along its length due to the continuous twin channels on the back. So just measure how long your vehicle is and order accordingly.

Yes. All our awnings come with 100% waterproof heavy-duty 420D Polyester Oxford canvas. This canvas is UV and mould-resistant, making your awning look good and last longer in any kind of weather.
Other materials used on the awning are aluminium for the frame and legs with stainless steel fixings, so no need to worry about rust.
Yes, but it is important to position your awning with a run-off to the side of the awning canopy. This is achieved by lowering one of the front legs lower than the other which will prevent heavy rainfall from pooling on the canvas. In extreme weather situations, we recommend taking down your awning and packing it away to prevent damage.
Our awnings come equipped with full vehicle fitting kits (bolts, brackets, even tools) and detailed instructions. All our fixings are made from premium stainless steel 304-grade metal.
