Ready to look to pick your awning?
Awnings will fit any vehicle, not just a 4×4.
If you have purchased a side awning or you want to know more about using it then you’re in the right place. We have put together a page of tips and tricks on how to use your side awning like a pro.
A side car awning is quite a simple piece of equipment but can be a little tricky the first time you set it up. To help you avoid any trouble setting up your awning we have created a video of how to set up your side awning like an expert. In this video, we will show you how to set up an awning in under 2 mins, tips and tricks, plus general information about using your awning. If setting up your awning in windy conditions, remember to peg it down as soon as possible or get help setting up to avoid damaging your awning.
It’s time to leave and you need to pack away your awning. The best bit of advice for packing away any of your camping equipment is to take your time and make sure it’s correctly packed away. This means it will be far easier to set up and use when you are setting up on your next adventure. We have created a video to show how to pack down your side awning quickly and efficiently. If your awning bag is hard to zip-up then you need to repack and reroll to make sure everything is correctly stored.

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.
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.
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.
