The 270 XT Awning sets new benchmarks for a free standing awning in terms of overall strength, wind resistance and durability.

The 270 XT™ Awning Mk2 sets new benchmarks  for a free standing shade awning in terms of overall strength, wind resistance and durability.  The awning is 2.3m in length, weighs only 27.8Kg and can easily fixed to most roof racks or heavy duty load bars using our Heavy Duty L Brackets (2 supplied with the awning) or to our Clamshell Roof Top Tents .  The 270 XT™ Awning Mk2 provides an incredible amount of shade around your 4WD for you to set up your camp kitchen, swags or just a shaded seating/chill out area. As you can see from the video the awning can easily be set up by one person in about 30 seconds and the pack down is just as simple.

The 270 XT™ Awning Mk2 is made in South Africa from quality components.  The awning bag is  400gsm polyester rip-stop canvas with YKK Zippers.  In contrast to PVC covers, the canvas allows the awning to breath while keeping it dust/dirt free and moisture is able to wick out through the zipper reducing the risk of mold or mildew.  The rip-stop material on the bag also reduces the risk of large running tears in the bag as a result of contact with tree branches.  The canvas on the awning itself is a 315 gram polyester rip-stop canvas that is mold and mildew resistant, The canvas is The Bush Company’s traditional olive green colour, and it is pre-treated during manufacture for water resistance.

The structure of the awning is made from an extruded alloy composite which has been specifically designed to provide the elasticity, strength and durability we required.  The main bracket for the hinge is constructed from stainless steel providing huge strength.  The arms on the awning have been gusseted for additional strength, which enables the awning to be fully standing without any poles in even the very strong wind conditions.  We do not supply poles for the awning as it does not need them, but we do supply guy ropes and pegs for use in extreme wind conditions to prevent damage to your roof rack or vehicle.  The guy ropes attach to heavy duty webbing loops that are incorporated into the ends of the arms and also midway along each canvas section.  In conjunction with the natural rake of the awning, the guy ropes should be used to prevent pooling of water on the canvas and to guide water runoff in preferred places. We do not recommend leaving the awning up unattended during snowfall due to risk of canvas stretching as a result of excessive weight.

Around the inside edge of the awning is a 50mm thick velcro strip which can be used to attach the optional awning walls enabling you to fully enclose the area to provide protection from the elements or additional privacy.

The awning is available in either a Left Hand Side (passenger side in Australia)  or Right Hand Side (driver’s side in Australia) configuration, please select which version you require from the drop down menu below.
