Side Awnings
When you are touring Australia, the best spots aren't always the ones with the most trees. Whether you have pulled over for a quick roadside lunch, set up camp on an exposed stretch of beach, or parked up at a local footy match, having reliable shelter attached to your rig is a game-changer.
At OZtrail, our side awning range is designed to give you instant protection from the harsh sun and driving rain, extending your vehicle's footprint to create a comfortable living space in minutes.
The BlockOut Side Awning Advantage
We know that a standard canvas sheet isn't always enough to beat the Aussie heat. That is why our awnings feature our exclusive BlockOut technology. This specialised coating reflects heat and blocks light, dropping the temperature underneath by up to 10 degrees compared to standard fabric.
It means that when you roll out your 4WD side awning, you aren't just getting out of the glare; you are creating a genuinely cooler environment for your family to relax in. It is perfect for keeping the fridge out of the sun, enjoying a cold drink, or simply taking a break from the wheel without baking in the heat.
Built for the Road
Touring gear needs to be tough. Our side awnings are constructed from heavy-duty ripstop canvas that can handle the scraps of low-hanging branches and the constant vibration of corrugated tracks. The aluminium cam-lock poles are lightweight yet sturdy, allowing for a quick setup that doesn't require a degree in engineering.
Simply unzip the heavy-duty transit bag, roll out the canvas, and lock the legs in place. We have designed them to be easily mountable to most standard roof racks and bars, ensuring that no matter what you drive, you can carry your own personal shelter with you.
Versatile Protection
A side car awning is one of the most versatile pieces of kit you can own. It serves as a cooking shelter during a drizzle, a shaded play area for the kids, or a dry transition zone for getting changed after a surf.
Available in versatile sizes like the 2.5m x 3m for maximum coverage or the compact 2m x 2.5m for smaller vehicles, our range adapts to your specific needs. Whether you are on a month-long expedition or just a day trip to the dam, having shade on demand allows you to stay out longer and enjoy the outdoors in comfort.
