Quick Pitch Weathershade 20 Sec 270 Degree Awning

A Game Changer in Outdoor Shelter
Internationally acclaimed, the Quick Pitch Weathershade 270° Awning is a true step up from other freestanding 270s. Read on to see why it outperforms other designs.
 
Key Features at a Glance:
Freestanding Engineering Redifined. 
The Weathershade isn’t just another freestanding awning—it’s built to outperform. With a massive 6mm thick dual-action folded stainless steel hinge and reinforced, welded rafter arms, its engineering surpasses other freestanding designs. Able to stand firm in conditions that push other freestanding awnings beyond their limits. A drop-down leg is included for extreme weather, and integrated web strapping in the rafter arms allows rapid deployment when needed—but in most cases, they stay stowed. That’s the Weathershade difference.
Advanced Aluminised Technical Canvas
This isn’t the typical fabric used on awnings sold in NZ. The high-performance aluminised top layer reflects heat and UV that pass through most other awnings—keeping you noticeably cooler in intense summer sun. From beneath, you’ll see another clear advantage: this canvas is completely light-blocking, unlike most others. It’s a serious performance edge and a key reason the Weathershade stands in a class of its own. Don’t underestimate it.
More Coverage, Smarter 5-Arm Design
Unlike standard four-arm designs, the Weathershade uses five reinforced rafter arms to create a unique shape with extended rear coverage—ideal for 4WDs with swing-out doors or a rear-mounted spare wheel, especially when adding the wall kit. No other awning delivers 12m² of usable shade with such a rapid one-person setup.
Optimised for All Conditions. 
Built with overlanding in mind, this awning stands up to the elements. Integrated pitch rods and guy points ensure efficient water runoff in wet weather. (Note: rain gutter kit shown in images is an optional extra. See it here).
 
The Bottom Line
The Quick Pitch Weathershade 270° outperforms every other freestanding awning on the NZ market. With a class-leading hinge, integrated tie-downs, extended rear coverage, and superior aluminised canvas, it delivers unmatched strength, smarter design, and cooler shade.

Note: As with all wall kits, use discretion in high winds. Quick Pitch offers one of the strongest awnings on the market, but wall panels should always be stowed before the awning itself in severe conditions.
