Fitting the 270 XT™ Awning
The 270 XT™ Awning frame requires a fitment bracket attached to the stainless steel section no more than 200mm (7 ⁷/₈inch) from the hinged end. The second bracket must be mounted no less than 1.3m (4′ 3″) from the bracket at the hinged end.
The 270 XT™ Awning is made by The Bush Company in South Africa from quality components. The canvas on the awning itself is a 315gsm polyester rip-stop canvas that is mould and mildew resistant, The canvas is The Bush Company's traditional olive green colour, and it is pre-treated during manufacture for water resistance.
The awning bag is 460gsm polyester rip-stop canvas with YKK Zippers. The canvas cover allows the awning to breath while keeping it dust/dirt free and moisture is able to wick out through the zipper reducing the risk of mould or mildew. The rip-stop material on the bag also reduces the risk of large running tears in the bag as a result of contact with tree branches.
The frame of the awning is made from an extruded alloy composite which has been specifically designed to provide the elasticity, strength and durability that The Bush Company is known for. The main bracket for the hinge is stainless steel providing huge strength. The arms on the awning have been gusseted for additional strength, which enables the awning to be fully free standing without any poles in even strong wind conditions. No poles are required, but the awning comes with guy ropes and pegs for use in extreme wind conditions to prevent damage to your roof rack or vehicle, and to assist in directing water run off in heavy rain. The guy ropes attach to heavy duty webbing loops that are incorporated into the ends of the arms and also midway along each canvas section. it is not recommend leaving the awning up unattended during snowfall due to risk of canvas stretching as a result of excessive weight.
