Seasonal Pitch Awnings — Things to Know Before You Buy
Are you on the hunt for a seasonal caravan awning?
Whether you’re looking forward to a summer adventure or preparing for a winter escape, choosing the right awning can make a huge difference to your camping experience.
Let’s break down seven key points you need to consider to find the best fit for your needs.
1. Understanding Seasonal Awning Types
Seasonal vs All-Season
Seasonal awnings are generally designed to be used for long periods of time – i.e. a full “season”, lasting from March to September. They are more robust than touring awnings and can withstand extended use.
All-season awnings go one step further than this as they’re built to handle all types of weather, including snow and ice.
Consider the seasons you’ll be camping in to choose the right type for your needs.
2. Material Matters
Fabric Choices
When it comes to materials, you have a few options. Opt for fabrics that handle both rain and sun. Look for a hydrostatic head (H/H) rating of 3,000mm or more for waterproofing, and a UPF rating of at least 30 for UV protection.
Many brands use their own “all-season” material for their seasonal pitch awnings. Make sure to check something suitably named is being used.
3. Size and Fit
Getting the Right Dimensions
For a full awning, knowing your A-measurement is essential for a proper fit.
An awning that’s too small won’t cover your caravan effectively, while one that’s too large can be awkward to handle.
If you’re opting for a porch awning, measure the height from the ground to your connecting rail, and the width of the area you’d like the awning to cover. Caravan awnings by standard work with rail heights measuring 235-250cm.
A good fit ensures better protection and a more comfortable space.
4. Frame Options
Stability and Setup
Your choice of frame can impact the stability and ease of setup.
Steel frames are sturdy and great for windy conditions, while aluminium frames are lighter and easier to handle. Fibre-tech frames are generally not recommended for seasonal use.
You’ll find Air frames offer quick setup but may require some reinflating and maintenance throughout the season.
Consider your environment and how often you’ll set up and take down your awning before making your choice.
5. Ease of Use
Setup and Storage
Think about how easy it is to set up and take down the awning. Some newer models offer quick-assembly features or inflatable frames to simplify the process.
Also, check the packed dimensions and weight to ensure it’s manageable for you to transport to your site.
6. Additional Features
Extras for Enhanced Comfort
Look for extra features that might enhance your camping experience, such as built-in curtains, draught skirts, or additional storage pockets.
Modular builds – such as annexes and extensions – can also provide the added flexibility of more space if you need it on occasion.
7. Budget Considerations
Finding the Right Price
Your budget will play a deciding role in finalising your options.
Full and porch awnings both come in a range of prices, from budget-friendly to high-end. It’s important to balance cost with quality — investing a bit more upfront might get you a more durable awning with additional features that could save you money in the long run.
