Car awnings

With a horntools awning for your car, camper, or off-road vehicle, you'll be perfectly protected from the sun and a wide range of weather conditions, and it can be easily attached to your roof rack. We offer robust car awnings in 180°, 270°, or straight versions, which you can also expand with practical side walls if needed.

Car awning for camping & overlanding

An essential accessory for overlanders and campers is a car awning. It not only provides protection from sun and rain, but also increases comfort and flexibility on any outdoor adventure. We've summarized the most important benefits of an awning for overlanding and camping.

Awning protects from sun and rain

The most obvious advantage of a car awning is the protection from sun and rain. An awning provides instant shade and protection from harmful UV rays, which is especially beneficial in warmer climates. When it rains, the awning provides a dry area, making camping more enjoyable and allowing for outdoor activities without getting wet.

Our awnings come with a water column of 3000 mm and UV protection class UPF 50+.

Additional storage space or changing room

A car awning significantly expands the usable space. Under the awning, you can comfortably cook, eat, relax, or store equipment. With matching side walls you can create additional shelter in no time. This extra space is especially valuable for longer stays or when the vehicle serves as a base camp. The sheltered area allows you to pursue outdoor activities even in inclement weather, increasing flexibility and comfort. The awning with side walls can also be used as a changing room or toilet.
