Description:
Exciting new model – the Darche Eclipse 180 Freestanding LED awning is finally here and turning all heads with its robust structure and fast set up time.
Travel with ease and simplicity each night with the 180 Freestanding Awning including integrated LED lighting by Darche.
A robust 320gsm ripstop polycotton canvas is tough against the outdoor elements, featuring a 3000mm waterhead rating and additional height to allow effective water run-off. Plus, boasting X-tube aluminium alloy hardware in the rafter arms, backing plate, and hinges, this awning holds its ground with ultimate outback durability.
Step up your setup by switching it up and turning it on – all thanks to the height-adjustable brackets to suit a wide range, while dimmable white and amber LED lighting integrated on four rafter arms are ideal during those after-dark dynamics. Spanning across 8.2 square metres of space and withstanding wind speeds of up to 30km/hour without poles or pegs, a fully-enclosed transit cover and two-piece backing plate also maximises weather resistance, so you can spread these wings through wind, rain, and shine – meanwhile maintaining the flexibility to conveniently move the awning from one vehicle to the next.
The Darche 180 Freestanding LED Awning covers all grounds with protection, resistance, and heavy-duty strength.
Based on results and observations gained over the testing period, the Eclipse 180 Freestanding LED Awning is rated to 30km/hr winds in freestanding mode. However, our recommendation is that it you always deploy the included poles and tie down your awning properly using pegs and guy ropes as Mother Nature is unpredictable and we want to protect your investment.
Area of Shelter – 8.2m2.
How is it different from other 180° awnings – The Eclipse 180° X-tube frame provides maximum strength.
What feature upgrades are in the new freestanding version – The canopy construct has been upgraded to 320gsm polycotton canvas. The new aluminium hinge system and X-tube tube alloy rafters allow for an overall increase in strength, and the additional of LED lights that fold with the canopy to light up your space.
Roof Rack mounting – Mounting brackets are included and will accommodate most commercially available steel basket and flat rack set ups. (Including TJM, ARB etc.). Mounting hardware for Whisper and Rhino bars will be available for purchase separately.
Materials – The canvas is a Proofed poly cotton ripstop canvas as are the walls. The frame is Alloy with steel hardware. The transit cover is made of laminated 600gsm PVC.
Does it need to be pegged down with guy ropes? – When setting the awning up it will free stand, but it is best to be set up anchored to the ground at all times. Use all the anchor points and guy ropes provided and peg to the ground. The awning also has anchor points to create water gutters to drain surface water in the rain.
How does it perform in a strong wind? – This is the heavier duty version so it will handle stronger winds than others, however exercise caution and be alert to prevailing winds, and on strong windy days we suggest to use the upright poles provided with guy ropes, or pack away your awning.
Optional walls and awning extensions – Walls are sold separately.
How many people are required to set up? – One person. The Eclipse 180° Awning is designed as a simple 1 person set up and pack down & inclement weather may require the assistance of another person.
What poles are included – 3 x pivoting alloy telescopic poles are included and purposely fitted under awning arms for easy access and stowing.
Water drainage – Included guy ropes need to be fixed between rafters to create a water runoff valley. You can see an example of this in the YouTube video.
Please note
When mounting to your vehicle please ensure the unsupported ends do not exceed 500mm.
The Darche Eclipse 180 Freestanding Awning is covered by the Darche 3 Year Manufacturer’s Warranty.
Testimonials:
This awning is fabulous! It is so easy to set up, it only take 1 person and it is a great size, as you can see it goes around 2 sides of the trailer. We bought the walls that zip on as well which encloses one side of the trailer giving shelter and privacy. We are very happy with this awning, the ease of use and the quality is awesome! @joneses_outback_journeys
Really happy with this setup. The Darche 270 degree awning gives you a MASSIVE amount of shade and/or shelter from the wind and the Panorama 2 RTT is super comfortable and big enough for the four of us.” @79series
