Overlander 270 Awning
A 270-degree awning that shelters the side and the rear of the vehicle under one canopy — tailgate kitchen, tent entrance and seating all covered. 600D ripstop polyester at 260 gsm with a PU 2000 mm+ coating, height-adjustable aluminium poles and a 550 g black PVC cover with an SBS zip.
Overlander 270 Awning
A rectangular awning covers one side of the vehicle and that is where it stops. A 270-degree design wraps the side and the entire rear, so the tailgate kitchen, the roof tent entrance and the chairs all sit under one canopy — no shifting camp every time the sun moves.
This is the version without LED lighting: a pure shade structure for people who already run their own camp lighting or would rather not add wiring to the roof.
COVERAGE Opens through 270 degrees | FABRIC Ripstop polyester 600D, 260 gsm | WATERPROOFING PU 2000 mm+ coating |
Key benefits
- 270-degree coverage — side and rear under one canopy, so the kitchen and the entrance are both sheltered instead of a narrow strip of shade.
- 260 gsm (600D) ripstop polyester — tear and abrasion resistant, which matters on a canopy that meets branches and gets packed away constantly.
- Breathable fabric — air circulates underneath, so it does not get as stuffy as it would under a sealed tarp.
- PU 2000 mm+ coating — rain runs off the canopy rather than through it.
- Height-adjustable aluminium poles — set the canopy angle to suit the ground and the weather.
- 550 g black PVC cover with an SBS zip — weather resistant, keeps dust, dirt and rain off the stowed awning, and the oversized branded zip does not seize up after one season.
Specifications
- Opening angle: 270 degrees
- Canopy fabric: tear and abrasion resistant polyester, 260 gsm (600D), breathable
- Waterproofing: PU 2000 mm+ coating
- Poles: aluminium, height adjustable
- Cover: black PVC, 550 g, weather resistant
- Cover zip: SBS, oversized heavy duty
It comes into its own on longer stops: a base camp for several days, an expedition with a roof tent, field work, club meets. If you cook out of the tailgate, 270-degree coverage changes day-to-day comfort more than almost any other camp accessory.
Fitting and notes
It mounts to a roof rack or roof bars on whichever side you want covered — decide before ordering whether you need the left- or right-hand configuration, and check your vehicle roof load rating. If you are unsure, the Szekla4x4 workshop can help you work it out.
Why it is worth it
- 270-degree reach is a different class of shelter from a plain rectangular awning — side and rear in one move.
- Concrete fabric figures (600D, 260 gsm, PU 2000 mm+) instead of marketing language.
- A proper PVC cover with an SBS zip — usually the first part to fail, done properly here.
