Questions we get
Which size should I get?The 4.5 × 6 ft suits mid-size trucks, Jeeps, smaller SUVs and crossovers. The 6.5 × 8 ft gives you more shade.
Will it hold up in wind?With the guy ropes and stakes, it handles moderate 10–20 mph winds. Always stake it if there's any wind.
Can I use it in rain?Light rain is fine. If water pools in the middle, tip it off so the legs don't buckle.
Can a shade wall stay attached when I pack it?Yes. Lay the wall flat and roll it up carefully with the awning, then store it in the cover.
What hardware comes with it?Stainless hardware and universal L brackets, packed inside the driving cover.
