Gone are the days where you need to swelter in the sun at the beach or on a campsite with nothing
but a straw hat to keep the sun’s harmful rays off of your body. Over time there has been plenty of
options making their way onto the market to save you from the nasty sunburns that come from long
days spent outdoors. Things such as sun shades, small tents and even umbrellas have certainly
helped to deflect the sun for periods of time but all of these only create a small amount of shaded
shelter to keep you cool and protected. Some adventures are definitely going to require more
coverage, and even a quicker option so that when you decide to go 4WDing for the day, you don’t
spend half of your time packing it down, only to set it up again when you return to site at the end of
your session in the mud.
Gazebos and awnings are a bigger option and create a much larger spread of shade to keep you,
your family, and your pets out of the sun. When it comes to car awnings there is a huge range of options
and definitely something to suit just about anyone. Included are options for such 4wd awnings which fold
out from the side of your vehicle and attach to a few simple poles to make them super sturdy, and
even an option that hangs about by itself without a pole in site to keep your area tidy and allow you
extra room to move about with little fuss. Outlined below is the entire range offered at 4wd Supacentre
so that you can find
something which will suit your adventuring needs! These roll up awnings are great for adventures
absolutely anywhere, and with fitting options to suit just about any vehicle this will make sure you
have the whole range to choose from. From side and rear awnings to wing style wrap around
awnings and even awnings that stand alone.. that’s right, not a single pole required with the pole
less, free-standing awning range. If you have a vehicle or camper trailer, and you need some more
weather protection, then an awning is the first port of call!
Side Awnings
Coming in a range of different sizes these are your standard go to when it comes to coverage that
packs away at the click of the fingers. Used by many for camping shade and a bit of weather
protection these shade awnings are a great option for attaching to the side of your 4WD or SUV. Another
option is mounting it to the side your caravan or camper trailer if it doesn’t have an included annexe
or it simply needs replacing, this can make for a much cheaper alternative. Simple to use and simple
to pack up, as well as being neatly mounted on the edge of your vehicle these awnings take up next
to no space when in storage!
Rear Awnings
Although they may not be quite as common, rear awnings are still just as effective however just
mounted to different parts of your vehicle and a little different with the sizing. But definitely nothing
to sneeze at when it comes to keeping you and your cargo area moderately shaded from the harsh
sunlight and annoying rain drops.
270-degree awnings
When you need a little more coverage from the weather including the sun or a sudden downpour,
then the 270-degree awning range is what you’re after. With more than 10sqm of cover you’ll have
enough room to keep everyone under cover and safe from the hot sun. All of these sun deflecting
structures are made from lightweight materials without the strength being left behind. Engineered
for ultimate life span and sturdiness, while not creating a large weight change when attaching to
your rig or trying to set up by yourself. Now meet the awning that does it all by itself, completely
pole less. Yes you heard, not a single pole in sight, the free-standing awning is absolutely incredible
at saving you time and space. Without ropes, pegs, or poles, a 270 degree wrap around free-
standing awning will leave your mates in awe…ning! Simply unwrap it from the protective cover and
fold it out easier than an ironing board, and the scissor like design will lock into place holding it
above a large area without coming down. Super quick and easy, plus you get all that extra room for
activities, chairs, and 12v fridge to be under the shaded roof.

Not only is the range of awnings great, but it’s also super good for your health and your skin with
UPF50+ canvas in the mix to keep out the harmful rays. The canvas is waterproof 170gsm ripstop
material at minimum to keep the elements where they belong and some even stronger again with
the upgraded 280gsm ripstop canvas to ensure nothing causes small rips or tears no matter where
you venture with it. Aside from the shelter awnings themselves, you’ll also have a large range of options to
use when it comes to leveling up your awning game, even more! With options for side and front wall
attachments so that you can make your simple little sun shade completely weatherproof. These
options are specific to the size of awning you have purchased, but there is a range to cover all of
your ground. Be sure to take a look at what is on offer, and you’ll never have to suffer at the beach
again, with ultimate shading ability, wind protection and you’ll even keep the sand out when the
wind does happen to pick up. That means no more gritty sandwiches and rinsing eyeballs with a cup
of iced water while the kids should be out enjoying the tide before it comes in too far for you to be
sitting on the beach. Enjoy more sunsets and weather proof BBQs with a complete awning set up
including side walls, or even use the inside of the awning, walls and all as the automatic
wicketkeeper in a game of beach cricket!
