Product Review: 30 Second Awnings

Whether it’s a family beach day or a weekend road trip to remote areas of Australia, there’s nothing worse than braving the scorching sun. Particularly when out on the open road, the last thing you want is to get sunburnt or sweat through your shirt. That’s where we come in. At 4x4 Mods Australia, we pride ourselves on equipping our customers with 30 second awnings to provide a large shade footprint and protect you from the sweltering heat or unpredictable rainfall. 

This blog will talk you through the benefits of investing in a 30 second awning, how to set it up, and our range of 30 second awnings at 4x4 Mods Australia. But first, let’s unpack what a 30 second awning actually is!

What is a 30 second awning?

If you’re on the market for a convenient, easy-to-build shelter for your next road trip, beach day, camping trip or even a BBQ at the local park, look no further than the 30 second awning. It’s one of the most significant investments you can make and versatile to use anywhere outdoors — simply pull up your car, and you have a shady spot ready to go! 

30 second awning review — is it worth it? 

The 30 second wing awning is a great option for various off-road vehicles if you need to set up an awning quickly. It will cover all collective pieces of your vehicle from side to raise. These awnings can be set up in just 30 seconds, compared to regular awnings, which take around 5 minutes to assemble and pack up. The 30 second awnings’ quick assembly makes them perfect for when you need shelter from the sun or rain in a hurry. 

They're easy to take down and pack up, so you can easily store them away when you're not using them. You no longer need to worry about fumbling around your vehicle for poles of your awning, snapping components, or dropping a couple of F-bombs as you struggle to assemble your regular awning. 

While it costs more than an average awning, it can cover twice the amount of space and has a much faster setup. Not to mention no poles mean you can easily move the awning around as the sun shifts — no muss, no fuss! But why take our word for it? Read product reviews and see for yourself!

How to set up a 30 second awning

The best part of a 30 second wing awning is you can easily set it up yourself without needing all hands on deck. When setting it up, it’s wise to face your vehicle in the direction the wind is blowing to help create pressure on the wind awning. If you’re wondering if it really takes 30 seconds, the answer is yes! The set-up process is as easy as opening the bag, detaching three velcro straps, stretching out the awning, lifting the topper and anchoring it! 

The benefits of our 30 second wing awnings at 4x4 Mods Australia

If you’re wondering where to buy a 30 second awning, you’ve come to the right place! Available in an olive green, our 30 second awning attaches to your vehicle’s roof rails and has many benefits:

• Compact for your drive ahead — If you’re concerned about it taking up too much space to pack for the drive, rest assured that when packaged, it is 2.7m long x 0.25m high, making for quite a slender package that doesn’t take up too much space
  
  
• Protect you from the elements — It weighs 27 kgs and is made from premium-grade 280gsm canvas that’s waterproof and dustproof to protect you and your loved ones from the elements when you’re out and about. It has a solid A-type aluminium frame and a central steel bracket with three pivot points. The best part? There’s no need for poles or ropes — it’s built to withstand strong winds. And if you’re facing harsh winds, simply tie down the four tie-down eyelets for extra security. 

• Excellent coverage — When set up or deployed, the awning covers 12 square metres — more than enough shelter for your family or a larger group gathering.

At 4x4 Mods Australia, we’re proud to stock a variety of 30 second wing awnings and 30 second awning accessories depending on your needs. These include:

• Single wall — Our single wall 30 second awning has one layer of fabric; a lightweight, easier setup and take down than double wall awnings. However, they do not provide as much shelter from the elements as double-wall awnings. Choose from our regular single-wall awnings or opt for a single-wall awning with a window.
  
  
• Full wall — A full wall awning covers the entire wall of an RV, trailer, or camper. They provide maximum shelter from the sun, wind, and rain. It’s jampacked with a window, a door and three poles to provide added protection in extreme winds.
  
  
• Dome tent — Camping in a large group? Our dome tent connects any side of the awning with our heavy-duty zips and sleeps up to eight people, complete with all pegs and guy ropes for your convenience. 

• Wing awning with an LED light strip — The perfect partner for your 30 second wing awning, LED strip lights are designed with the same top-quality canvas to illuminate your awning’s interior at night.
