ALL-TOP Vehicle Awning 6.6'x10' Roof Rack Pull-Out Sun Shade UV50+, Weatherproof 4x4 Side Awning for Camping & Overland (Hardware Included)

Bought this for outdoorsy days. Works great on the beach for a little shade and great at the campsite for a little enclosure or cover as well. Easy to instal and brackets are sturdy powder coated steel I believe. It’s been affixed to my roof rack for about two years now and cover keeps it dry from rain or snow. Easy to roll out and drop legs alone but so much easier with two people. I would highly recommend using the guy lines included as a gust of wind will create movement. Biggest con is the stakes. Nice that they are included but definitely would upgrade them in general, but definitely if using on sand. Happy trails y’all.

So my review is actually pretty positive. The awning is pretty well made and I would say well worth the price (priced very competitively). Not the easiest to set up solo, but with two people it would take less than a minute. Packs up well, I think it’s a great product (6.6’x10’) mounted flush to the side of my truck camper. BUT 4 stars instead of 5 and it’s mostly my fault, but in high winds and trying to take it down solo, my poles and frame got destroyed. I just couldn’t do it alone without the top grabbing the wind and it whipped all over the place. Mine is pretty much useless now, but lesson learned. There are VERY similar awnings available for half the cost but I ordered a front and side wall and so I’ll be replacing mine with another All-Top awning. If you are careful in high wind conditions (mine was handling 10-15 mph steady winds fine, it was the storm squall that caught me by surprise, probably 25-30 mph that messed me up) and if you have an extra person to setup and tear down, I would definitely recommend the awning.

Spent 4 days on Padre National Seashore to fish, camp and watch the Eclipse. Fishing was good. Clouds blocked the Eclipse. But this awning really shined! It withstood two days of 25+ mph wind. The side rails/bars are what really helped accomplish the success. The awning was barely affected by the wind and even shed a 30min rain shower w ease. My two boys were able to stay out of the wind and rain for a couple of hours while they finished sleeping. The awning was on the leeward side of the truck which helped block the straight line winds. Awning was secured to the ground w provided guide string and sand anchors. Material is way thicker than I expected for this price point. Ripstop woven. And all the seams are double sticked including the Velcro strips. I also purchased two of the front wall add ons. The front wall sections have a “bead” sewn into them so they can be slid into the outside track bar and extend your awning. Designed to be staked into the ground but I bought two adjustable tent poles and lifted the add on awning section level w the rest of the awning and secured w guide wires to the ground. Second front wall section I added off the side of the original awning w the Velcro strips. These two sections did have to be removed w then wind blew in. They probably would’ve been fine but I didn’t want to risk it. All in all, I would highly recommend. Setup and break down are not as fast as the 180/270 awnings but we are talking a fraction the cost (and weight). I’m very happy w this purchase and may even buy another one to deploy off the back of my truck to cover the tailgate area. I also mounted the L bracket upside down so the awning had a lower profile. You won’t be disappointed.

Purchase your own washers, lock washers, bolts, and nuts. The nylon ones provided are junk and cross thread when loosing them to adjust the canopy position when mounting. I used Gobi ARB mounts so I can’t speak for the ones provided. Bag and zippers appear strong. Canopy should have been double stitched and multi layered in some spots, especially where the Velcro is. Legs lock by turning and appear to be flimsy. I do not see this as a multi year lasting product. I think I will return and seek out others of better build quality. For a season of camping, it’s probably a great purchase.

Dont buy this, it's poorly made, the screws are useless, i bought one full set of high quality screws , mounted and everything, i used it once, it broke with a little wind even though it was mounted securely on the ground with the ropes just flew off, good thing didnt land directly on my car to damage my car, nothing super special, it's build with low quality materials.
