The 270 Weathershade awning is the first awning to have 5 aluminium extruded arms with gussets strategically placed on 4 of the 5 arms for extra strength, the 5 extruded arms hinges on a double action 6mm stainless steel hinge. This allows the Quick Pitch Weathershade 20 Second awning to fold up to a mere 130mm wide at the hinge making it very streamline. The awnings overall length is 2575mm when in traveling position. The extruded arms of the Quick Pitch Weathershade 20 Second awning are 2.4m, 2.4m, 2.4m, 2.4m and 1.7m long making it the biggest of its kind and giving 15m square meter under cover. The awning uses high quality canvas with a silver lining to reflect heat and keep the tent cool for those hot sunny days in the bush.
