Overlander Vehicle Awning 2.5x2.5m
On a longer stop it is not shade itself that matters but how much of it there is — a small awning covers a table, a larger one covers the whole field kitchen and a place to sit. This variant is a 2.5 x 2.5 metre square, giving 6.25 m² of cover alongside the vehicle.
A square footprint reaches as far out from the car as it does along it, which makes it easier to fit a table and chairs underneath rather than just a narrow strip against the bodywork.
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 — level the canopy on sloping ground and set a fall so water drains off by itself.
- 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 spend the whole day beside the vehicle rather than a quarter of an hour, this square size gives the most usable space in the range — we are happy to advise on mounting.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the dimensions?
The awning measures 2.5 x 2.5 m (width x length).
Is the height adjustable?
Yes. The aluminium pole adjusts from 1.2 to 2.4 metres and is 22/25 mm thick, so you can match the canopy to your vehicle height and the terrain.
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.
