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

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.

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.

I bought this and used it for last summer and it saved me from the sunny hot days. I recommend it for if you have children and are taking them to a game outside and there is no shade. Or if it is raining. Just be careful if it is windy, you need to properly anchor it down. I love it and can't wait to use it this year.

Awning arrived with damaged packaging. Mounting plate was damaged. The metal plate that holds the end of the awning had a dent, which All-Top repeatedly told me was caused during transit, even though it was protected by the rolled up awning material, shielded by the main metal mounting plate, and covered by the awning cover and cardboard box. All-Top customer service is awful. If you have a problem, dont expect All-Too to help. Amazon customer service had to pick up the slack and help me with the return . Dont recommend.

In the heat of southern Utah, it is still too early to tell if this product material is durable. I have only had it a week and already the material is showing signs of wearing out. This product was easy to install and fits perfectly on my roof rack! I like how the poles fold up into the frame (like the old bridge tables). I still have to figure out the best system for securing the poles, though. THe ground here is too hard to hammer the stakes in and water weights (bought separately) don't seem to work either. Am still working on the solution
