HardKorr 270 Degree Large Free Standing Awning (LHS)
$1,499.00
Hassle-free shade, wherever you’re parked.
Hardkorr’s 270 degree awning is free standing, lightweight and of course like all our products, incredibly durable. A super easy, one person set up will have you under shelter quicker than Brocky on Mt Panorama. With a wind rating of 30 knots and a 12 month warranty, you can be sure this awning will survive our tough Australian conditions whether you’re at the beach or out in the country.
The kit includes 1 built in leg for when needed, and there are additional leg mounting points included allowing you to add extra legs if required. There are also 2 ratchet-style ropes for securing the awning at each end, tie down points to create gutters for water run off, two powder coated L-brackets for mounting to a roof rack and 306 grade stainless steel nuts and bolts. A lightweight 28 kg makes install an easy proposition.
The primary purpose of our Awnings is to provide sun shade, rather than being suitable for heavy rain events. Although our Awnings are crafted from water-resistant materials, they are not completely waterproof. It’s crucial to bear in mind that in instances of severe weather conditions or heavy rain, we suggest taking the necessary steps to safeguard your Awning and belongings. Always exercise caution and adhere to the suggested instructions for the installation and use of our Awnings to ensure a satisfactory experience.
More shelter, better protection.
This awning gives you a market-leading total coverage of 13.5 m2, which is more than enough shelter from sun and rain for you and your whole family or crew. Aluminium square tube framing and arms adds strength without unnecessary weight.
The hinge design is over-engineered to ensure it does not sag or fly upwards even in windy conditions (up to 30kn) – something that many other awnings struggle with. This means our 270 degree awning is truly free standing, to give you more freedom and space while relaxing around camp.
Finally, our seam-sealed 600D ripstop Polyester Canvas has a UPF50+ sun protection rating.
Super Easy Setup
Many of the 270 degree awnings on the market are difficult for one person to set up and pack down. The arms are often heavy and cumbersome, the awning sags while you’re setting it up, and getting enough tension at either end to keep the awning flat takes a lot of time and muscle. The bag is also often a tight fit, meaning you have to dust off your origami skills to fold up the canvas when you’re putting it away.
The Hardkorr 270 degree awning solves all of these problems. Super-strong hinges and lightweight arms combine to ensure the awning folds out easily and is free standing even while setting up. The innovative ratchet-style ropes take all the difficulty out of tensioning the awning, and our oversized bag means that you can pack the awning away quickly when you’ve finished using it.

Know before you buy
Before you buy camping gear
Rooftop tents, awnings and fridges make a trip comfortable, but each one puts demands on your roof, your battery or your set-up time. Here's what to check.
- Rooftop tents and your roof
Driving with the tent on uses the roof's dynamic rating; sleeping in it uses the static rating. Check your vehicle maker's limits first (Darche), and use 2 to 4 bars depending on the tent's length (Rhino-Rack).
- Awnings and wind
Use guy ropes whenever the awning is out, don't set it up in wind, never leave it open unattended, and dry it before you store it (Rhino-Rack).
- Fridge power
A fridge's worst-case run time is battery amp-hours divided by its maximum draw; real run time is longer because the compressor cycles. Running it through an inverter doesn't extend battery life (Engel).
- Plan around closures
Many Victorian seasonal tracks close from after the King's Birthday weekend in June to the end of October, and closures can be extended (Parks Victoria).
Common questions
Can my vehicle carry a rooftop tent?
Check two numbers: the dynamic roof rating, which must cover the tent and rack while driving, and the static rating, which must cover the tent and its occupants when parked. Use your vehicle maker's figures (Darche).
How long will my fridge run on a battery?
As a worst case, divide the battery's amp-hours by the fridge's maximum current draw. It will run longer in practice because the compressor cycles on and off (Engel).
Will a fridge work on a slope?
Engel compressor fridges work on up to a 30 degree tilt.
What should I do with the awning in wind?
Don't set it up in wind, use guy ropes when it's out, and never leave it open unattended (Rhino-Rack).
When are Victoria's seasonal tracks open?
Parks Victoria's seasonal road closures generally run from after the King's Birthday weekend in June to the end of October, and can be extended. Check the closure list before you go.
