Awning

Post by maverick01 »

Im currently looking for an awning thats easy to make and even easier to assemble and i would like something similar to arb awning that bolts to the roof bars on most 4wds.

It also has to be light weight and able to assemble with just 1 person.

I didn't think the ARB one was much more than that, if any to be honest.

For those in Melb, Snowy River Rug Company next to Mansfield BP does em for $230, not canvas though...

Is canvas the best option? once its wet on a trip would be heavy as hell

The Foxwing? Yah, i like the look of it, although it also is a bit tall when stowed, if that makes any difference.

I tried the tarp/tent poles/guy rope awning and it was crap in everything except perfect weather.

I ended up getting an ARB one, easy to put up and take down and actually works.
