Quick Pitch Weathershade 20 Sec 270 Degree Awning

Quick Pitch Weathershade 20-Second 270° Awning
 
A Game Changer in Outdoor Shelter
Internationally acclaimed and trusted by overlanders around the world, the Quick Pitch Weathershade 270° Awning sets a new benchmark for premium, all-weather outdoor protection.
 
Key Features at a Glance:
Freestanding Engineering Excellence
Designed to be truly freestanding, the Weathershade awning features a robust 6mm thick folded stainless steel hinge—redefining strength in this category. Reinforced, welded rafter arms further enhance durability, and a drop-down leg is included for added stability in unpredictable weather (though rarely needed).
Massive Coverage with Unique 5-Arm Design
Unlike standard awnings with four arms, the Weathershade uses five rafter arms, creating a more square-shaped canopy that extends further to the rear. This design offers 12m² of usable shade, making it ideal for covering rear swing-out doors or tyres on 4WD vehicles.
High-Performance South African Canvas
Constructed from a superior aluminised technical canvas, this awning outperforms common polyester, Oxford, or 900D fabrics. The reflective top layer dramatically reduces heat and UV penetration—keeping you noticeably cooler in hot summer sun.
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)
 
Why It’s Superior to Other Awnings:
Engineered Strength
No other freestanding awning on the market offers a hinge as thick or as well-engineered—delivering industry-leading structural integrity.
Convenient Tie-Down System
Built-in tie-down straps store neatly inside the rafter arms—ready to deploy when needed.
Extended Rear Coverage
The squared-off profile ensures significantly more rearward coverage compared to angled designs, improving usability with wall kits and enhancing shaded space.
 
Optional Wall Set (Sold Separately)
Take your shelter to the next level with our premium wall set:
High-Grade Material
Made from South African woven polycotton canvas (400gsm) for superior breathability and UV resistance—far superior to cheaper polyester-based options.
Zipped, Not Velcroed
Securely zips into place for a cleaner, stronger, and more weather-resistant seal.
PVC Storm Strip (370mm)
Protects the canvas from ground contact and adjusts easily to various terrain types and vehicle heights. Can be weighted with sand or rocks where pegging isn’t practical.
 
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.
