Quick Pitch Weathershade 270° 2M Awning – Compact Legless Freestanding 4x4 Canopy (11.5m²)

11.5m² of Shade. Zero Poles. Built for Short-Wheelbase Rigs.

Standard 2.5m awnings are too long for compact SUVs, double-cab bakkie cabs, and smaller canopy frames — creating ugly overhangs and catching wind. The Quick Pitch Weathershade 270° 2M Awning solves this by shrinking the closed bag length to exactly 2 metres, saving 500mm of roof real estate while delivering a high-strength 11.5m² freestanding shade footprint that wraps completely around the side and rear of your vehicle — without a single support leg.

Same heavy-duty mechanical foundation as the flagship 2.5m model. Lighter. More compact. Purpose-built for short-wheelbase vehicles.

⚠️ Important: Select your deployment side (LHS or RHS) and whether you want the awning only or bundled with the 2M Side Wall Kit.

🌳 Key Features

• Compact 2m Bag Length: Saves 500mm of roof rail space vs the standard 2.5m model — purpose-built for short-wheelbase 4x4s, compact SUVs, and smaller canopy frames
• 11.5m² Freestanding Shade: 2.0m arm travel radius wraps completely around the side and rear of your vehicle for a massive, unobstructed shade footprint
• 5 Legless Extruded Arms: The only awning with 5 purposefully legless extruded aluminium arms — withstands severe crosswinds without flimsy support poles or ground guy ropes
• 6mm Structural Stainless Steel Hinges: Twin double-action hinges laser-cut and CNC-bent from 6mm structural stainless steel to bear the twisting leverage of the moving arms
• Gusseted Box Arms: Internal structural webbing gussets on all arms resist upward wind lift and trail twist
• Aluminised Heat-Reflective Canvas: High-performance water-resistant overlanding canvas with aluminised inner lining for full thermal UV deflection — keeps the shade zone noticeably cooler
• Integrated Harsh Weather Pole: 1 x fold-out anchor pole with tie-down strap tucked neatly inside the arm channels — no loose hardware to lose on the trail
• 2M Side Wall Kit Compatible: Available bundled with the Quick Pitch 2M Side Wall Kit (350mm PVC mud skirt, midge-proof mesh) to convert your canopy into a fully enclosed camp room
