Overlander Vehicle Awning 2x2.5m

A stop in full sun with no shade cuts the break short, and sudden rain ends any cooking beside the car. An awning solves both in one movement — unroll it from its cover and you have 5 m² of shelter overhead.

This variant is 2 metres wide and 2.5 metres long, with an aluminium pole adjustable between 1.2 and 2.4 metres.

A 600D polyester canopy at 260 g/m² with a PU 2000 mm+ polyurethane coating means this is not only a sunshade — you can sit out a passing shower under it.

Key benefits

• 600D polyester at 260 g/m² — a fabric with anti-tear properties, resistant to tearing and abrasion, so it copes with wind and daily rolling up.
• PU 2000 mm+ waterproof rating — the polyurethane coating holds water back, so the awning doubles as rain cover.
• Breathable fabric — air circulates, so heat does not build up underneath the way it does below a sealed tarp.
• Aluminium pole with height adjustable from 1.2 to 2.4 m — set the canopy to uneven ground or vehicle height, or angle it so water runs off.
• Black PVC cover weighing 550 g — protects the rolled awning from dust, dirt and weather while you drive.
• SBS zipper on the cover — a large, durable slider that lets you deploy quickly and is built for frequent use.
• Complete mounting hardware — L-brackets, flat mounts, bolts and nuts, anchor hooks, nylon line and a wrench are all included.

Who it is for — anyone who spends more time beside the vehicle than a coffee stop: camp, field kitchen, a fishing base or simply a break in the heat. Mounted to the side of the vehicle, the awning gives shade and rain cover in under a minute, with no gazebo to erect. The anchor hooks and nylon line let you secure the structure further in stronger wind.

Fitting / notes

The awning attaches to the side of the vehicle, usually to a roof rack, rails or a bar. The kit includes L-shaped brackets, flat mounts, bolts and nuts, plus a wrench for assembly and adjustment. The right mounting point depends on your particular vehicle and rack; if you are unsure, our workshop can help you work it out.

Why it is worth it

• 600D polyester with PU 2000 mm+ makes it a shelter that works in rain, not only in sun.
• The PVC cover and SBS zipper protect the awning in transit and speed up deployment.
• The kit is complete — mounts, guy line, hooks and wrench need no separate purchase.

If you want shade and shelter always with you and no gazebo to erect, this size is a good place to start — and if you have questions about mounting to your rack, just get in touch.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the dimensions?

The awning measures 2 x 2.5 m (width x length).

Is the height adjustable?

Yes. The aluminium pole adjusts between 1.2 and 2.4 metres and is 22/25 mm thick, letting you match the canopy to the terrain and vehicle height.

Does it protect from rain or only provide shade?

The 600D polyester canopy at 260 g/m² carries a polyurethane coating rated PU 2000 mm+, so the awning also works as rain cover.

What is included?

Besides the awning itself: a black PVC protective cover (550 g) with SBS zipper, L-shaped brackets, flat mounts, bolts and nuts, anchor hooks, a nylon line and a wrench for assembly and adjustment.

How do I secure it in wind?

Anchor hooks and a nylon guy line are supplied specifically to secure the awning in strong wind.
