The 270 Freestanding LED Awning by Darche covers all grounds with heavy-duty strength.
Boasting X-tube aluminium alloy hardware in the rafter arms, backing plate, and hinges, this awning holds its ground with ultimate outback durability. A robust 230gsm ripstop polycotton canvas is tough against the outdoor elements, featuring a 3000mm waterhead rating and additional height to promote water run-off in wetter weather.
Spanning across 11.5 square metres of space and withstanding wind speeds of up to 30km/hour without poles or pegs, a fully-enclosed transit cover and two-piece backing plate also maximises weather resistance – so you can spread these wings through wind, rain, and shine. Plus, step up your setup by switching it up, thanks to the height-adjustable brackets to suit a wide range, while dimmable white and amber LED lighting integrated on four rafter arms offer after-dark dynamics!

Just to confirm, are you talking about the channels on the backing plate of the awning itself? The t-channel bolts are designed to go into the channels on your roof rack system to anchor the bolts down, so just want to make sure we're getting the right answer for you.

Will it fit my car?1 answer
I have a 2021 Highline Amarok with premium VW canopy and 3 x VW crossbars (no roof rack). 2 bars on cab and one bar on canopy. No fitting instructions on Darche site or YouTube and no pictures of the unit on a vehicle with cross bars only (they all seem to have roof racks or platforms). Before I purchase, will this product suit cross bar fitment?
Michael - Maldon, VIC (2 months ago)
G'day Michael,
This awning can be mounted on cross bars, but it isn't suitable for your set up sorry - I've also got an Amarok & canopy.
It's also not advised to mount the awning partially on the cab, and partially on the canopy, as these sections move independently of one another, causing torsion and flexing which puts stress on the backing plate & mounting hardware. Any damage that occurs due to mounting across the canopy & cab is not covered by warranty.
If you are able to transfer that 3rd rail so all three are fixed to the cab roof, and you can mount the awning with no more than 60cm of unsecured length on either end, then you'll be grand.
