Key features
The lightest freestanding 4WD awning
We have been designing and manufacturing premium 4WD awnings for over 30 years. As a result of this experience and our commitment to innovation, we offer one of the lightest freestanding awnings on the market. While it’s incredibly lightweight, we use high-quality materials and state-of-the-art manufacturing right here in Australia to make sure they are strong.
To optimise the weight as much as possible, our Ultra-Lite awnings are specifically designed for Rhino Rack Pioneer (series 4/5 and 6), Front Runner Slimline 2, and Yakima roof racks. If you have a different type of roof rack, we have developed the Clevershade Deluxe 180 Awning for all standard models.
Wind tested
While our 180 Ultra-Lite Awning is super lightweight, it is still wind tested up to 50km/h (3.6m) and 45km/h (4.0m). You don’t need ropes or poles—all you need to do is set up your awning and it’s ready to enjoy, even if the wind starts to blow.
Easy to set up and pack down
The Ultra-Lite awning is easy to set up and pack down. Watch the demonstration video of the 270-degree model to see for yourself.
Strong and durable
We’ve spent a lot of time selecting the best materials to make sure your Ultra-Lite Awning stands the test of time, and harsh Aussie conditions. The frame is made from powder-coated marine-grade aluminium, shade is provided with fade-resistant proprietary fabric, and stainless steel fittings make sure the finer details are long-lasting. Every single piece is cut and joined using state-of-the-art machinery and manufacturing processes. And each awning is tested and inspected before being boxed and sent to our customers.
Quality craftsmanship—100% Australian made
Every 180 Ultra-Lite Awning is made to the highest standard from design to material selection to manufacture—offering you long-lasting, reliable shade. When you buy a Clevershade 4WD awning, you’re buying a product backed by a 30-year history designing and manufacturing the highest standard of awnings.
