Quick Pitch Weathershade Maxx 270° Awning – Legless Freestanding 4x4 Canopy (17m² Shade)

17 Square Metres of Shade. Zero Poles. The Biggest Quick Pitch Awning Ever Built.

Standard 4x4 awnings fall short on coverage for large utility trucks, long-wheelbase canopies, and off-road caravans. The Quick Pitch Weathershade Maxx 270° Awning solves this entirely — stretching the articulated box arms to a massive 2.7 metres to deliver an industry-leading 17m² of freestanding shade that wraps completely around the side and rear of your vehicle, without a single support leg in sight.

Built on the same heavy-duty mechanical foundation as the standard 270° model, but scaled up for the demands of large rigs, commercial canopies, and serious basecamp setups.

⚠️ Important: Select your deployment side — Left-Hand Side (QPSA-AW-MAXX-LHS) or Right-Hand Side (QPSA-AW-MAXX-RHS). Due to the 2.7m closed bag length, this awning requires a long mounting surface — ideal for large 4x4 trucks, long-wheelbase canopies, trailers, or caravans.

🌳 Key Features

• 17m² Freestanding Shade Coverage: 2.7m arm travel radius wraps completely around the side and rear of your vehicle — the largest shade footprint in the Quick Pitch lineup
• Legless Freestanding Design: Deploys without support poles or guy ropes — the rigid arm structure withstands extreme crosswinds without failure-prone legs
• 6mm Structural Stainless Steel Hinges: Twin double-action hinges laser-cut and CNC-bent from 6mm structural stainless steel to bear the immense rotational leverage of the 2.7m arms — the only awning in its class with this specification
• Gusseted Extruded Box Arms: Reinforced with internal structural webbing gussets to resist twisting and upward lifting leverage under unexpected wind gusts
• Heat-Reflective Canvas: High-performance water-resistant overlanding canvas with a silver inner lining for full thermal UV deflection — keeps the shade zone noticeably cooler on hot sunny days
• Harsh Weather Kit Included: Two fold-out anchor poles with 6 tie-down straps for extreme wind conditions, plus additional tent pegs and tie-down straps for each arm
• Maxx Side Wall Kit Compatible: Pairs directly with the Quick Pitch Weathershade Awning Maxx Side Wall Kit (5-panel ripstop enclosure) to convert your canopy into a fully enclosed, weatherproof camp room
• Universal Vehicle Fitment: Mounts to any large vehicle, trailer, or caravan via Quick Pitch bracket systems
