Awning

Bought Tigers11 at Xmas (2mx2.5m) for the Pajero as it was a very good price from the 4WD centre. It's been very useful but the tubing is extremely thin-walled. A couple of weeks ago a gust of wind pulled out the pegs for the guy ropes and flipped the awning over the roof, completely bending the horizontal poles. I've sinced replaced the poles with thick-walled paint roller handles from the local hardware and they are much stronger. So, I guess, it's pay your money and take your choice. Perhaps check out the other offerings and see if the poles are any stronger.

Noldi,
I had a Tiger 11 awning, 2.5 x 2.5, for a 60 Series, took one look at it and decided to change it, got rid of the legs and other bits that came with it, I was just left with the awning itself and the bag it came in, I then took it to a trimmer and got him to put eyelets in one end, ( for the 2 poles I had, these were stronger than the ones supplied), then I got the trimmer to put a canvas sleeve under the front of the awning so I could roll the poles up inside itself., it worked well and was stronger than what was supplied, here in Exmouth it gets windy and I thought the bits and pieces supplied would not be able to handle the winds we get.

Hi Noldi.
We recently bought a Supa Peg deluxe awning which are made in Qld.
We are presently on our road trip around Oz.
So glad we bought the quality product as it has already paid divid ends in 40 + degrees in Coffin Bay on the beach sitting out the heat wave!

It oozes quality and is very robust with high quality fittings.

Order on line and you have it in a week!

Cheers

Pete
