CleverShade are the original octagonal awnings, firstly designed and manufactured in 1993. Our primary design considerations consist of strength, usability, style, size and weight.

On average our products are windrated up to 40km/h without ropes or poles, made with no-fade European acrylic canvas on an exceedingly strong powder coated aluminium frame as standard. 30 years on and CleverShade is STILL the lightest wrap-around awning on the market!

Australian manufacturing is considered to have some of the highest standards in the world, especially when it comes to the 4x4 industry. However most awning manufacturers actually build their products overseas.  If you want a guarantee that your awning is 100 Australian Made, we’re here for you.  Buying a high quality product made in Australia means it doesn’t have to travel as far and will last far longer so won’t end up in landfill after a couple of years and is better for the environment.

We have been designing and manufacturing awnings for the last 30 years, with our first installation to a rear-wheel drive Holden Rodeo! The original 270 degree shape was recognised and patented by IP Australia and although there are many more brands on the market today than 30 years ago, rather than joining the race to the bottom on price, we have led the industry to the top on quality through investments in our manufacturing processes and design.

Today, we are still developing products with our design team to make them stronger, larger and user-efficient, all adhering to our ethos of strength and lightness through simplicity.  Manufacturing on Australian soil has never changed, and we are now officially accredited as Australian Made and Owned, so you can know you are getting genuine local quality.
