If you’re an outdoors enthusiast, you know how important it is to have the right equipment. When you invest in suitable gear, you can look forward to comfortable camping adventures for many years to come.
Let’s talk 4×4 Awnings: Many people don’t realise just how many benefits they have to offer. So, in this article, we’ll look at five of the best 4×4 awnings on the market and what each of them brings to the table.
Why would you need a 4×4 Awning?
- Sun Protection: A quality 4×4 awning provides shade, keeping you cool and protected from harmful UV rays during outdoor adventures. Awnings create a comfortable spot to relax, whether you’re camping, picnicking or taking a break on a road trip.
- Rain Protection: Unexpected weather changes are no problem with a 4×4 awning. It offers a dry and sheltered area, so you can continue enjoying the outdoors.
- Increased Usable Space: Awnings expand your living and activity area, creating a versatile space for cooking or eating. It’s like adding an outdoor alfresco to your vehicle, making your trips much more enjoyable.
Here are our top picks of 4×4 Awnings:
#1 The Ostrich Wing Awning Delivers More Campsite Space
The Ostrich Wing Awning provides a comfortable place to park off in the shade with a coffee flask and a good book as the afternoon draws to an end.
This awning exhibits heavy-duty 380gm treated safari rip block canvas and a strong 2.4m frame, weighing in at just 28kg fitted! The drop-down stabiliser pole makes it possible to extend your space, even in extremely windy conditions.
#2 The Ostrich Wing 270 Junior for Compact Travel
Much like its big brother counterpart, the Ostrich Wing, the Junior model is built strong with 320gsm rip-block canvas and strong aluminium frames to withstand tough conditions.
Suitable for SUVs and double or extra cabs, this awning’s backing plate length measures just 2m, or 2.2m in the bag, meaning it won’t take up much space when folded up.
#3 The Bundu L (2-Sided Awning) for Simple Set-Up
There’s nothing worse than spending hours setting up your campsite, especially after a long drive. One of the best things about the Bundu L awning is that it’s simple and easy to set up, even for a solo traveller. Providing additional support for windy conditions, the front left arm exhibits a simple built-in support pole.
#4 BunduAwn Companion Square Back – Protection Against the Elements
As all outdoor enthusiasts know the Australian sun can be brutal. The BunduAwn Companion Square Back combines Riptech300 and a silver resin coating on its upperside, redirecting heat and UV rays from the underside of the material. This, along with its waterproof quality, makes it the perfect 4×4 awning for Northern Australia’s wet season between November and April.
#5 The Wildland 180 Awning Promises Affordable Convenience
If you’re searching for an affordable 4×4 awning for your Rock Cruiser that delivers on quality, the Wildland 180 Awning is a perfect choice for budget-conscious travellers.
This tarp connects straight to your car roof tent top with buckles for additional protection from the harsh sun or light rain. It can also be used as a shade canopy without RTTs. Remarkably, this awning provides enough shade for a 4-seater table – ideal for group camping trips.
