Darche Freestanding 180 EXR Awning

The Darche Freestanding 180 EXR Awning delivers an impressive 8.4m² of coverage, providing generous shelter for camping, touring and outdoor adventures. Its innovative six-arm rafter system features telescoping arms that pack down compactly without compromising canopy size. Designed for versatility, the awning can be mounted to either the side or rear of your vehicle, with a short backing plate that makes it particularly well suited to single and dual cab utes. Wind-tested to 25km/h in freestanding configuration, it’s built to handle the demands of Australian camping conditions.

Offering flexible installation options, the Freestanding 180 EXR includes two height-adjustable mounting brackets to suit vehicle heights from 1400mm to 2600mm. Four integrated dual-colour dimmable LED strips provide convenient lighting across the canopy, allowing you to adjust the brightness and tone to suit everything from preparing dinner to relaxing around camp after dark. An integrated rooftop tent entry hatch with waterproof zips also provides direct access between your rooftop tent and the sheltered area below, creating a more connected and practical camping setup.

Built for outdoor performance, the canopy is constructed from durable 220gsm ripstop polycotton canvas with a 3000mm waterhead rating and UPF 50+ sun protection. When packed away, the awning is protected by a tough 1680D polyester oxford transit cover. Four leg poles, pegs and guy ropes are included for added stability when setting up at camp, giving you the flexibility to configure the awning to suit your conditions and campsite.

For even greater protection from the elements and added privacy, compatible full wraparound and inner wall sets are available separately, allowing you to enclose the canopy and create a sheltered room or annex. Pair the DARCHE Freestanding 180 EXR Awning with a compatible rooftop tent to make the most of its integrated entry hatch, and explore DARCHE awning accessories to further customise your setup. With its generous coverage, integrated lighting and adaptable mounting options, this awning is a versatile addition to any touring or camping vehicle.
