Wall Kit 270 XT Awning

270 XT Wall Kit: fully enclose your 270° awning

Four interchangeable canvas walls turn the 270 XT Mk2 Awning into a sheltered, private living space. Close it right in, run a single wall as a windbreak, or leave it all open to the breeze.

In the kit

• Four interchangeable walls, all the same size: three with a large zippered mesh window, and one with a roll-up door that has its own window.
• Four aluminium telescopic poles extending to 2.6m, plus a retrofit webbing strap for older awnings.
• Pegs for the wall skirts.
• One heavy-duty canvas bag for all four walls, and a separate canvas bag for the poles.

Using it

Since every wall is the same size, the door can go wherever suits the campsite: facing the fire, away from the wind, or towards the track. Close all four for a private room when the weather turns, drop one or two on the weather side as a windbreak, or open the windows and let the breeze through on a hot afternoon.

Each window has midge mesh outside and a canvas flap inside that zips up from the bottom, so you can open it a third, halfway or right up from the inside. With the flap closed, rain beads off the outside and stays out. The door rolls up and ties off for a wide entry.

The poles slot into the built-in holes in the trussed arms and, on Mk2 awnings, into the webbing loop sewn into the outer edge of the canvas at the end of the non-trussed arm. On older models, the supplied retrofit webbing strap gives the non-trussed arm a pole point and can stay on the awning. Once the walls are up, the poles carry their weight and the extra wind load. Tie-down points on the skirts let you tuck the excess in or peg the skirt out at an angle, and it pays to peg the walls down well in wind. One person can set up and pack away the whole kit.

Made for Australian weather

The walls are 260gsm ±5% acrylic-treated polyester ripstop canvas, resistant to water, mildew and UV, with a 600gsm PVC mud skirt stitched into every base to take splash-back from mud and sand and wipe clean. Panels join with YKK spiral zips, made from spiralled polyester and nylon, the softest, smoothest-running zip YKK makes. They won't rust or corrode at the beach, and they open from inside or outside.

Fit

Made for the 270 XT Mk2. The walls attach with 50mm Velcro to the loop strip on the awning's valance, so they also suit any awning with a Velcro loop strip on its valance. 12-month warranty.

Only want one or two walls? The Universal Single Canvas Wall and Universal Single Mesh Wall suit any Bush Company awning and zip together along their sides for more coverage.
