The 270 XT Awning™ sets new benchmarks for a free-standing shade awning in terms of overall strength, wind resistance and durability. The awning is 90.5 inches long (2.3m) when packed up, weighs only 61.2 lbs (27.8Kg) and can be easily fixed to a roof rack or load bars using the heavy duty L brackets (2 supplied with the awning) , or to our Clamshell Roof Top Tents using the appropriate tent to awning bracket . The 270 XT Awning™ provides an incredible 86sqft (8sqm) of shade around your 4WD for you to set up your camp kitchen, swags or just a shaded seating/chill out area. The awning can easily be set up by one person in about 30 seconds and the pack down is just as simple.
Around the inside edge of the awning is a 2 inch (50mm) thick velcro strip which can be used to attach the optional awning walls enabling you to fully enclose the area to provide protection from the elements or additional privacy.
The awning is available in either a Left Hand Side (driver’s side in USA) or Right Hand Side (passenger side in USA) configuration, please select which version you require from the drop down menu below.
The 270 XT™ Awning requires 2 Heavy Duty L brackets, the first bracket is attached to the stainless steel section no more than 200mm (7 ⁷/₈inch) from the hinged end. The second bracket must be mounted no less than 1.3m (4′ 3″) from the bracket at the hinged end.
To mount the awning to one of our rooftop tents you will need an Awning To Tent bracket which are sold separately.
The 270 XT™ Awning is made in South Africa from quality components. The canvas on the awning itself is a 315-gram polyester rip-stop canvas that is mold and mildew resistant, The canvas is The Bush Company’s traditional olive green color, and it is pre-treated during manufacture for water resistance.
The awning bag is a 400gsm polyester rip-stop canvas with YKK Zippers. In contrast to PVC covers, the canvas allows the awning to breathe while keeping it dust/dirt free and moisture is able to wick out through the zipper reducing the risk of mold or mildew. The rip-stop material on the bag also reduces the risk of large running tears in the bag as a result of contact with tree branches.
The frame of the awning is made from an extruded alloy composite which has been specifically designed to provide the elasticity, strength, and durability we required. The main bracket for the hinge is constructed from stainless steel providing huge strength. The arms on the awning have been gusseted for additional strength, which enables the awning to be fully free-standing without any poles in even very strong wind conditions. We do not supply poles for the awning as it does not need them, but we do supply guy ropes and pegs for use in extreme wind conditions to prevent damage to your roof rack or vehicle. The guy ropes attach to heavy-duty webbing loops that are incorporated into the ends of the arms and also midway along each canvas section. In conjunction with the natural rake of the awning, the guy ropes should be used to prevent the pooling of water on the canvas and to guide water runoff in preferred places. We do not recommend leaving the awning up unattended during snowfall due to risk of canvas stretching as a result of excessive weight.
