Need your awning fitted?
We can set up and install your awning at our workshop in Hampshire, UK.
To make installation as straightforward as possible, we’ve created step-by-step guides that walk you through fitting your awning to your vehicle. All our awnings come with printed instructions, but our online guides are here to give you extra confidence and show just how simple the setup really is.
For most customers, installation will be onto standard roof bars. If you’re fitting your awning to a roof rack, you may need to drill mounting holes or use specific brackets — see our How does an awning attach to my car? page for more details.
Our car awnings are very easy to set up and install, select one of our awning setup and installation guides below.
Download and read through our product instructions and user guide. You will receive a printed version of the instructions and user guide with your awning but they are also available here for reference.

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.
