Waterproof

Out of all of the possible reasons you may want to install an Adventure Kings awning, is the biggest and most persuasive reason of all to get your hands on an Awning is it’s ability to keep the rain out, with the wet weather being one of the biggest turnoffs for many fair weather bush men and women!

The tough polyester fabric is extremely durable, and by its very nature extremely waterproof, however for extra assuredness the Adventure Kings Awnings utilize a waterproof polyurethane coating to make sure that even in heavy down pouring you will stay safe and dry beneath!

Sun Protection

With Australia’s ever changing weather, even during the winter months you can get a scolding from our harsh sun’s piercing UV rays. This is why ALL Adventure Kings Awnings are rated to an impressive UPF50+ sun protection rating!

Durable

When setting up in some of the harshest conditions in Australia, durability is definitely one of the main priorities when choosing your Awning – Adventure Kings Awnings all take advantage of a tough 170gsm ripstop woven polyester. The Ripstop grid is woven directly into the fabric ensuring that even with enormous tension on the fabric it will not rip, and that any punctures or tears will not spread across the fabric.

The durability of Adventure Kings Awnings doesn’t end at the fabric, the fabric is fastened to an extremely durable extruded hard anodized alloy frame, which uses cast metal knuckles, which add extreme levels of toughness when being setup and taken down daily (or more regularly) the Adventure Kings Awnings are designed to be used in a variety of conditions reliably in rain, wind, hail or shine!

Fast setup

The way an awning sets up, is quite simple the folding frame tucks inside itself resulting in an extremely compact unit, when unrolled and unfolded, the Adventure Kings awnings legs simply unfold, and the support beams lock into place, once familiar with setting up an awning it can be ready to relax beneath in under a minute.

The ease of setting up also makes it ideal for adding Awning accessories such as an Awning Wall, an Awning Tent, and Awning mosquito nets, and all awnings are complimented by adding an Adventure Kings Mesh Floor to keep sand and dirt away.
