As soon as your own vehicle appears, it becomes necessary to provide protection for it. Not everyone has the opportunity to use the garage. Most often, you have to park the car in an open parking lot, under strong winds, heavy rain, snowfall and bright sunlight. All this negatively affects the state of the iron horse. To keep the car safe and sound, the best manufacturers have launched the production of popular models of awnings that differ in functionality, characteristics, material of manufacture, and dimensions.

Many associate an awning with a special construction of supports and beams, covered with durable fabric on top. Something like a big hut. However, modern tents are compact and mobile. Made from fabric. The contours resemble a car. Designed to cover a car located in an open space: in the forest and in the field, at sea and at the airport, in your own suburban area or at the entrance.
Before you buy an awning, you need to decide which one is better to choose. Lots of varieties. Specialized retail outlets will offer a huge range of products, both domestic and foreign, for hatchbacks and crossovers, for SUVs and station wagons, as well as for any other types of cars.
Every motorist knows how important it is to have an awning on hand. He is able to protect the car from:
For the right choice of a popular model, it is necessary to clearly define their sizes. The following products are produced:
The size | Class | Car type |
---|---|---|
S | BUT | Compact with a short base. |
M | B, C | Classic (for a sedan). |
L | D, E | Designed for station wagons. |
XL | F, F+ | Ideal for SUVs. |
XXL | Suitable for minivans and large SUVs. |
In order not to miscalculate with the size of the tent, you can purchase a product with slightly larger parameters.The cut is universal, so it will fit many models, regardless of the manufacturer.
It is worth noting that the covers for both cars and trucks differ in length, width and height. Although the criteria for choosing products are different for everyone, the brand of the car cannot be discounted. Many manufacturers produce models with a zipper for the door, so that it is convenient for the driver to get into the cabin.
Accessories and seasonal use differ, and therefore they are divided into:
What to pay special attention to when buying a product? On the material of manufacture and quality of tailoring. The fabric must have the following qualities:
Models are produced in multi-layer, single-layer and lined. Single-layer applied in hot weather. Two-layer consist of several layers, where the top is functional, the bottom is soft, to prevent damage to the car's coating. Products with a lining are equipped with a frost-resistant fabric layer. The quality of the material used is very different. This also affects the average price of a product. Budget option - single layer. Lined awnings are the most expensive.
The quality of tailoring is also important. It is desirable that the firmware is carried out with sufficiently strong nylon threads. The bottom edge should have an elastic band. It is desirable that the material is breathable.
The most common fabric is tarpaulin. The main component is polyethylene fiber. Many models are made of oxford - dense, made of thick and durable threads. Almost all products from the inside are covered with polyvinyl chloride or polyurethane. This allows you to increase the functionality of accessories and make them lightweight, with the ability to quickly fold for storage.
The quality of the seams should be on top. Pay special attention to the presence of a double hem. This is the only way to achieve strength and durability of the seams. When sewing, double stitching and a strong polyester thread should be used, which is not afraid of dirt and water, will not tear or decompose when constantly exposed to fresh air. It should be borne in mind that the average life of the product should be 10 years.
How to choose the right car awning? Experts recommend paying attention to the quality factor of the accessory. It should not only protect the machine from the negative influence of external factors, but also be convenient to use, easy to fold and transport, and serve for a long time. The best models can be equipped with additional elements, for example, pockets for side mirrors or transparent inserts for the windshield. There is no consensus among drivers about inserts. Since they are in most cases made of cellophane, they do not allow air to pass through, therefore water droplets (condensate) constantly accumulate on the glass. This may lead to rust.
Which firm is better depends on the preferences of users. Advice is inappropriate here. According to buyers, regardless of the manufacturer, the accessory must be durable, waterproof, without inserts, with high-quality double-hem seams. Mistakes in the selection should not be allowed. Only high-quality goods will serve faithfully for more than one year, while maintaining an attractive appearance of the body.
