Is a 270 Degree Awning a must-have for your next camping trip?
While awnings have been available for quite some time, the 270-degree variety is more recent. Professional overlanders worldwide rely on these awnings significantly larger than the average awning.
If you're in the market for a 270 degree awning for Overlanding, this article will help you narrow down your options.
1. OVS Nomadic 270-Degree Awning
We think the OVS Nomadic 270-Degree Awning is one of the best awnings because it can withstand strong winds and other elements. It takes less than a minute to set up, and it doesn't need poles like other awnings.
You read that correctly; this 270 Awning Free Standing needs no poles to be set up, thanks to its large, reinforced hinges and heavy-duty rafters. You can use the aluminum poles with the OVS Nomadic to support it and keep it from flapping around too much in strong winds, just in case. Additional value comes from the height-adjustable poles used for support.
This awning is constructed with heat-sealed seams and 600D poly cotton ripstop cloth to keep water out even in the heaviest downpours. Features of the OVS Nomadic 270-Degree Awning include:
Three aluminum poles that can be extended and angled in different directions (as well as 3 telescoping aluminum poles)
6 Sets of Shock Cords.
6 Heavy Duty Stakes.
Travel Cover.
3 Heavy Duty Mounting Brackets and Hardware.
Nylon Reinforced Tie Down Kit.
Additionally, the OVS Nomadic can be mounted on various aftermarket roof racks. To see the OVS Nomadic in action, watch this video:
2. Wraptor 6K 270-Degree Awning
The area protected by the Wraptor 6k 270 Degree Awning Free Standing is much larger than you might first imagine. This is a major factor in the awning's widespread appeal. While most awnings only cover 100-120 square feet, the Wraptor 6k covers 130 square feet.
This awning has been constructed using a 280gsm poly cotton ripstop waterproof canvas, making it resistant to strong winds and rain. Additionally, rainwater will be kept out thanks to the ripstop's waterproof construction. The Wraptor 6k is firmly in place by sturdy support poles and guy ropes, even in high winds.
This awning is our top pick because it can be used for either the driver's or passenger's side doors. We advise buying this for the driver's side of most vehicles because rear doors typically open toward the passenger side. If your vehicle's back door swings outward, however, you'll want to make your purchase on the side that faces in the opposite direction. This awning is perfect for your bike rack or your car roof.
3. Wraptor 4k 270 Degree Awning
The Wraptor 6k is the big brother of the Wraptor 4k, which is a 270-degree awning. This awning follows a similar pattern but has the smallest coverage area (at 80 square feet) of the ones we've looked at.
Similar to the Wraptor 6k, the Wraptor 4k is crafted with 280G ripstop canvas that helps keep you safe in extreme conditions. You also get extendable poles that can reach a height of 8 feet and 6 inches, even though the Wraptor 4k doesn't need poles to stand on their own (so you can choose if you want to use them or not).
This awning is the perfect size for your roof rack, and with a wall set, you can turn your awning into an outdoor bedroom (or just add space for your adventures).
