Shelter Max Freestanding Car Awning

Ample shade and weather protection anywhere

The Shelter Max Freestanding Car Side Awning presents an expansive coverage spanning 6.25 square meters, assuring ample shade for a truly comfortable camping experience, wherever you choose to set up. Central to our design considerations for this car side awning was the paramount goal of engineering sturdiness that would stand firm against moderate winds and rain, without necessitating the deployment of supporting legs. While extendable legs and tie-downs remain available for added security during adverse weather or high winds, their use is optional, underscoring our commitment to flexibility and ease of use.

The car awning effortlessly attaches to any vehicle roof rack or roof bars using the provided L brackets. These brackets are thoughtfully designed to adapt to diverse mounting scenarios. With the added benefit of double rails running the entire length at the back of the car awning, the brackets offer unmatched adjustability, ensuring compatibility with various vehicle configurations.

Effortlessly opening and closing the car side awning is made simple by the inclusion of two gas struts, which automatically extend the awning arms and secure them in place, eliminating the necessity for tying them down. The seamless 1-minute setup and teardown hold significant importance within any camping scenario, particularly for frequent travelers.

Utilizing only top-quality materials

Throughout our journey of design and engineering, a central focus revolved around minimizing weight while upholding unwavering structural integrity, enabling the car awning to stand independently, free from the need for supporting legs or tie-downs. This led us to forge the entire framework of the car side awning from high-strength aluminum, complemented by stainless steel components, ensuring the delivery of a product of premium quality, inline with the EDGE Overland standards.

We employ the same top-tier polyurethane-cotton blend canvas found in our rooftop tents, known for its lightweight yet robust properties. Enhanced by an integrated ripstop weave, it boasts exceptional resistance against harsh winds and inclement weather conditions. Additionally, this canvas exhibits impressive water resistance up to 3000mm and provides effective UV protection against sun rays.

The outer cover is constructed from a durable PVC material, sealed tightly with zippers to ensure water-tight protection for the awning during your travels, ensuring both its safety and immediate deployability anywhere.

Effortlessly light up your campsite with integrated LEDs

Embarking on a camping adventure is one experience, yet elevating it to the next level involves having fundamental amenities such as lighting seamlessly integrated into your camping arrangement. The core ethos driving our product line is centered around convenience, which is precisely why we've seamlessly incorporated dimmable LED light bars directly into our freestanding car awning.

The Shelter Max Freestanding Car Side Awning is equipped with dual dimmable LED light bars located on each arm, ensuring optimal illumination across your entire camping space. These LED bars feature USB 2.0 plugs, allowing convenient power supply through any car power socket, external battery, or even the charging ports found on EDGE Overland rooftop tents, eliminating the need for any additional equipment.

Privacy, sun & weather protection and more

An exceptional advantage of our Shelter Max Freestanding Car Side Awning lies in its versatile capacity to accommodate attachable side walls on any of its sides. Affixing the sidewalls is a simple process, facilitated by our innovative zipper system and modular design. This ingenious feature empowers you to either partially attach side walls based on your requirements or affix all walls entirely to attain maximum protection.

The side walls designed for the freestanding car awning are complete with windows and doors featuring integrated mosquito nets and adjustable covers, ensuring utmost privacy during various camping scenarios, while delivering excellent sun and inclement weather protection. The option to roll up the windows and doors on warm days facilitates optimal airflow, allowing you to relax comfortably in the shade even on the sunniest of days.
