ARB Awning 1250mm x 2100mm - Compact 4x4 Side Awning

Summary

The ARB Awning 1250mm x 2100mm is a compact retractable 4x4 awning for drivers who want quick shade and shelter without carrying a separate freestanding canopy. It is sized for tailgate use or the sides of smaller 4x4 vehicles, making it a practical choice for camping, picnics, festivals, outdoor work and roadside stops. The 1250mm x 2100mm shade area gives you a useful sheltered zone while keeping the setup vehicle-mounted and easy to keep with your touring kit. Compared with leaving the tailgate area exposed, it gives you a dedicated shaded space beside or behind the vehicle when you stop.

Best For

• 4x4 owners who want a compact vehicle-mounted awning for short stops and camp setup.
• Tailgate shade where a full-size side awning would be larger than needed.
• Smaller 4x4 vehicles with suitable roof racks or roof bars.
• Camping, picnics, festivals, outdoor work and roadside shelter.
• Buyers wanting an ARB awning supplied with a storage bag, pegs and guy ropes.

Why Choose This Compact ARB Awning

This ARB awning is designed around convenience: keep it mounted to the vehicle, pull it out when needed, then pack it back into its bag for travel. The 1250mm width makes it especially useful where space is limited or where the awning is being used at the rear of the vehicle rather than as a large campsite canopy.

The canvas is a PU-coated 70% cotton and 30% polyester ripstop material with a 300 GSM construction and UPF 50+ rating. Aluminium poles, anodised height-adjustable telescopic legs and reinforced aluminium extrusions support the structure, helping create a practical shelter for real touring use without overstating it as a full tent or room system.

Included Components vs Compatible Accessories

The awning is supplied as a single item with its bag/case, guy ropes, pegs, mounting hardware and fitting instructions. That gives you the core awning package for a roof-rack or roof-bar installation.

Mounting requirements vary by vehicle, rack and bar system. ARB lists an awning bracket as an optional accessory, so do not assume the included hardware covers every rack, bar or vehicle-specific installation. If your roof setup uses unusual bars, low-profile rails or existing accessories, confirm the mounting route before ordering.

Fitment And Setup Checks

This awning is designed to attach to the side of most roof racks or roof bars using bracket mounting. It is not listed for one specific vehicle, so the important buying check is your rack or bar system, available mounting space and intended position on the vehicle.

• Check that your rack or roof bars can accept an awning bracket installation.
• Confirm the 1250mm x 2100mm shade size suits your vehicle side or tailgate area.
• Allow for telescopic legs adjustable from 1900mm to 2100mm when planning setup height.
• Use the included guy ropes and pegs where the setup requires additional stability.
• If you are unsure about mounting, use a professional fitter.

In use, this awning suits the kind of stop where you want the kettle on, tools out or chairs set up without standing in direct sun. It is compact enough for smaller touring builds while still giving a defined shelter area for everyday camp and roadside use.
