Ostrich Wing Awning

The original, free-standing 270 Awning, since 2008. Beware of imitations.

Introducing the Ostrich Wing Awning by Big Country 4x4, South Africa. 120 square feet of shade in 30 seconds. Unmatched strength. Designed, tried and tested in the African Savannah since 2008.

Constructed of 12.2oz (380gsm) rip-block canvas, UV protected and rot proofed. Designed primarily as a sun shade the canvas is acrylic impregnated and waterhead tested to 800mm, while stitch seams are sealed for further waterproofing. Every awning now includes a 2-color LED strip light for mounting inside the arms.

The awning frame is built with thick aluminum extrusions welded in a gusseted truss design, supported on nylon bushes. This cantilevered awning is made for the toughest adventures, this will not break in a breeze and is backed by a 2 year warranty.  

The Ostrich Wing is designed to be used without support legs in no wind or mild wind settings. In gusty conditions a single telescopic support pole should be deployed and the frame tied down using the frame-mounted eyelets provided. 2 further support poles are included to support the optional wall kit, if added. In adverse conditions it is advised to pack the awning away. At no point should the awning be left unattended open without anchoring.
