FAQS

What is a freestanding awning?

A freestanding awning is your ultimate shelter on the go. Other than attaching to your vehicle, the awning stands strong on its own, offering instant shade and protection wherever you need it. The strong stainless steel hinges and aluminium fusion frame form a robust structure that stands up to harsh conditions, whilst also being easy to use - you simply fold the arms out/in for a quick pack up or set up.
