Ready to look to pick your awning?
Awnings will fit any vehicle not just a 4×4.
It really depends on the type of vehicle but the rule of thumb is if you can fit roof bars or a roof rack to your car then you can mount an awning to your vehicle. Our awnings weigh from 15kg to 25kg depending on the size. You will need to check your vehicle’s roof or roof bars maximum weight limit but most vehicle roofs will easily cope with an awning.
You can pick up roof bars or a roof rack for your vehicle from various places, most well known reseller in the UK is Halfords and they offer a service to fit them as well.
Another option is a great online company that offers a large range for any vehicle is The Roof Box Company. They have a great look-up tool for your vehicle and list all the options for your vehicle.
If you are going to buy roof bars, then there are normally 2 options, Steel or Aluminium bars. Steel bars are good and normally cheaper but will require drilling and fixing. The type of bar that works the best is the aluminium bar with a channel in the top, also known as a T-track.
We supply fixings with our awnings that will slide straight into this channel for easy mounting and removing. This channel is also great for use of other accessories like ski, canoe, bikes racks, etc.
There are two different types of bars you can purchase, firstly, the aero bar, shown in the picture above. And secondly, the wing bar which looks more like an airplane wing. Both bar types have their benefits and you can find more information about them here.
All our awnings come equipped with a full fitting kit (bolts, brackets, even tools) and detailed instructions on how to fit onto 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.
See our article about awning size suggestions for vehicles for help with picking the correct length awning for your car or truck.

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.
