JOYTUTUS Vehicle Awning 4.6'x6.6' Roof Rack Pull-Out Sun Shade UV50+, Weatherproof 4x4 Side Awning for Camping, Car Sunshade with Adjustable Hardware, Quick Set-up, SUV/Truck/Van/Jeep

Packaged amazingly. Very, very simple installation. Quality cover, materials are good. It's only 4.5 by 6 feet so not huge, but gets the job done.

Out of the box I was very pleased with the design of this. For starters, the cover seems to be great quality. I can’t yet speak to how water resistant it is but will update as it gets exposure. The design of the awning is excellent. It has two legs which fold in and make the process of dismantling very easy for one person. There are also two support bars for the sides that fold in, making this product very compact. I intended to mount it to my bed rack but it was too low so I went for my roof rack. The install process was very easy. I ended up using the longer bolts and the cross bar that it came with. The instructions are pretty bad but it’s fairly straightforward if you have a rack to work with. I will end up adding some additional bolts so it’s very secure but for now I’m confident in it. My initial worry was the assembly process with just one person but it’s perfectly manageable and even rolling it back up was very easy. The quality of the awning material is great and seems it may be a great help for camping. I love that the height of the legs is adjustable and the coverage area is excellent for one person. I am going to Joshua Tree this weekend where there isn’t much shade so I will really be able to tell how well it works.

Super easy install, pleasantly surprised with the quality. Just made a bracket to mount to the roof rails on my 87 Delica. Used it a couple times and it fit my purposes well. The zipper feels sturdy and "thick" and functions well. The floor pegs and strings along with the right poles give it wind resistance but I haven't had a chance to test that part yet.

I purchased this for my enclosed cargo trailer. Pretty good quality. Easy to install with the included hardware. I got the larger one (8x10) and it’s tough to set up with one person, but I would image smaller versions would be easier. Nice coverage and a quality covering. Not tent fabric. Also, mark your poles with a sharpie when fully extended. This way you don’t pull them all the way apart. Would have given this 5 stars, but the guy line ropes and “tensioners” included are crap. Bought some ratchet style here. The poles could also stand to be thicker, but they still hold up well. All in all I’m happy with the purchase so far. Update: be prepared to push a little water off if it rains. Puddles in the middle. Working on a fixit idea.

The description wasn't clear on the mounting options that came with the canopy, so I thought I'd show what's included and share my solution to others considering this awning. First off, as others have stated the canopy appears to be well engineered and sturdy. I purchased some sand bags to hold it town on the beach, I think it should work great for that purpose. As far as mounting goes, it comes with two short flat brackets and two longer L-shaped brackets. It's designed to bolt onto a rack or roof basket in a semi-permanent way, but I wanted to come up with some sort of quick-release solution. I used some track nuts I had on hand to secure the L brackets to the bottom of my roof rack bars. Then I attached the shorter brackets to the canopy's track with a few washers to space them away just enough to allow the vertical leg of the L bracket to slip in. This makes a snug fit, but the canopy can still be easily lifted on and off of the L brackets. I then drilled and tapped a hole in the short brackets for a grub screw to lock it into place. This way I can loosen two grub screws with a hex wrench and remove the canopy and roof racks in just a couple minutes.
