The Roof Lodge Evolution awning
... which can also be used on many roof tents from other manufacturers.
The widespread term <awning> is somewhat misleading in itself, as it has always been more of a hanging tent in which you can quickly and easily store camping equipment such as a table and chairs, the little ones' toys and a pint of beer. This not only applies to tidying up in the evening, but also in the event of a downpour. What's more, the fact that these items are no longer immediately visible makes them a little safer from theft.
We also like to refer to this awning simply as a <shower curtain>. This name also gives you an idea of the actual size of the hanging tents. This is always 120 cm in depth and 140 cm or 165 cm depending on the tent width. This makes them significantly larger than most showers, but still smaller than what many people imagine. However, if the roof tent is installed at a sufficient height, you have a space that can also be used comfortably for changing.
These awnings were and are less suitable for use in bad weather. This results in a requirement profile for them that is completely different from that of the floor tents of the extended tents. As the awning's tent character is clearly in the background, we have given it some thought and completely redesigned it according to its use.
They are now made from the same material that we already use for our LIGHTWEIGHT - T109 ripstop nylon with Oxford weave. This material is surprisingly strong for its surprisingly low weight of just 102 g/m² and is the obvious choice for use in an awning. As awnings, like ground tents, usually have to be transported in the vehicle, the pack size is not insignificant. The fact that the usual voluminous and heavy PVC groundsheet has been replaced by a thin and light tarpaulin means that the pack size of the awning can almost be described as tiny.
Due to the type of use, elaborate window constructions are as pointless as spikes for ballerinas - nobody uses them. Of course, windows do have a right to exist in hanging tents; after all, you can not only see outside through them, they also let light into the tent. But this is where the T109 ripstop nylon comes into play again: this material has good light permeability, which puts the question of windows to rest once and for all.
The entrance is usually located behind the ladder, which literally stands in the way of quickly stowing away the equipment. That's why we decided not to have an entrance. Some people will now say that Nakatanenga have definitely overshot the mark. But we simply questioned the design of the usual entrances with the entrance fabric, mosquito net and zippers and found that they were not necessary. Our awning therefore doesn't have an ENTRANCE, but of course there is an ACCESS - in fact several. The awning is fitted with zippers at all 4 corners. These can be used to separate the side walls from each other and thus not only determine the access as desired. You can also roll up one or all of the side walls. In the evening, for example, all you need to do is place the table and chairs on the tarpaulin, unroll the side walls and close the zippers.
And the awning also offers real added value: the side tent walls also have two eyelets on the underside. The side walls can either be tensioned at an angle or extended using optional telescopic poles. This creates a rain-protected or shaded area of just under 5.5 by 1.2 meters.
The awnings are suitable for all roof tents of the appropriate size that use the edge profiles shown on the Roof Lodge Evolution and LIGHTWEIGHT information pages. If you are not quite sure, please do not hesitate to contact us. It is not possible to use the awning and shoe bag at the same time. Note: The telescopic poles are NOT included in the scope of delivery.
CargoBear - Awning holder for New Defender
One of the best moments when car camping or at 4x4 meetings is unfolding the roof awning. It means you've arrived and the cozy part is about to begin. Once the awning is up, you can lounge in your camping chair, put your feet up and plan your next activities over a coffee or a cool drink.
And since the CargoBear is also available for the New Defender, there is also the option of attaching numerous awnings and awnings. Our awning holders made of black powder-coated stainless steel are screwed onto the slope of at least two crossbars and are suitable for awnings such as the RoofLodge Awning, RhinoRack Foxwing and SunSeeker.

Sense and purpose of an awning compact extension?
Glare protection when the sun is low in the skyThe compact extension was developed directly from practical requirements - a nice formulation that in itself means nothing more than: "We were so annoyed and dazzled by the low sun one fine day that we wanted to remedy the situation." And already the initial question is actually fully answered. But that would only be half the truth.
On the following picture you can see an awning without extension shown above:
As the sun sinks (the same applies in the morning, of course - but for the sake of clarity we will limit ourselves here to the afternoon or evening situation), the light falls further and further under the awning. At a certain position of the sun, the light/shadow dividing line reaches the eye level of a seated person - from now on, the sun can dazzle until it sets.
The illustration below shows an awning with a compact extension, which offers several advantages with its angled bracing:
When the sun is high, a much larger area is shaded.Only when the sun is setting, the light/shadow dividing line reaches the eye level of a seated person. Here, of course, deviations are possible, since both the slope of the guy, the size of the person and his sitting position are influencing factors.But the most important thing is: You can see what's going on in your surroundings despite the glare shield! If the eyes and the lower edge of the compact extension are on a horizontal plane, then the view would extend exactly to the (ideal) horizon. If you compare that with a moderately braced complete front part, where the view is just between a few centimeters to a few steps - what a difference!
What if the sun comes in from the side?Well, then the vehicle will probably have to be moved. But not with our new compact extension. All you have to do is unhinge it from the front and you can attach it to the side in just a few easy steps. Voila!But please note: The awnings have a uniform depth of two meters, but differ in their widths. Ideally it hit here all those who have a 200er awning. Owners of a 250 have three options:
They simply allow the extension to protrude when used from the side - utility over beauty.You opt for a 200 compact extension - this does not detract from the function.You buy two compact extensions at once - a 250 for the front and a 200 for the side.
Feel free to guess what we recommend ;-)
Material:Made from our sun sail and awning fabric, a 280 gsm RipStop Polycotton (65% polyester / 35% cotton), metal coated on one side; water and dirt repellent impregnated;due to the comparatively heavy quality, significantly less flutter.
Color: stone grey (taupe)
Our compact extensions are also suitable for use on the awnings of most other manufacturers. The only requirement is a free keder strip in the front profile of the awning or such must be retrofitted.
Extension for Evolution Awning / Blind
This extension is made from the same high-quality material like the Nakatanenga Evolution Awning / blind and gives ideal side sun, sight and wind protection. The extension is simply fitted to the existing welt track / c profile of the awning. With a diameter of 6.5 mm the welt fits to a number of awnings on the market. The extension can be secured to the ground with supplied pegs and cords. The full length of the extension is 200 cm.
Surface area: 200 x 140/200/250/300 cmmaterial: 280 g/sqm rip-stop Polycotton, PU coated; water and dirt repellent; due to the relatively heavy quality reduced wind noise
Attention: The extension can’t be used at the same time with the awning for the blind as both use the same c-profile for attachment.
The awning is not included in delivery! Please order it separately here (200 cm, 250 cm, 300 cm) or here (140 cm).
If you want to erect the extension as shown in the 4th image, you can order an additional pair of pegs.
Car awnings are fantastic pieces of kit. Where else can you chillax better after a hard day on the road or outdoors than in the shade of a car awning? Correct, the answer is nowhere!
This fitting set is designed to mount various car awnings and awning tents with 90 brackets or suitable adapters onto traditional roof rack systems with square steel bars. We recommend that each bracket is fixed by two counter plates both on top and underneath the square bar. M8 hex bolts and stop nuts guarantee secure fastening.
Contents:8 x counter plates, 8 x M8x50 hex bolt, 16 x 8.4 mm washers, 8 x stop nuts

Roof Lodge Evolution Front Extension Arc Shape for Car Awning (Bag Awning).
The extension is made from the same high quality material as the Roof Lodge Evolution canopy / awning and provides ideal sun, privacy and wind protection. The extension is simply pulled into the existing keder rail of the awning. The extension has a keder diameter of 6.5 mm and is therefore also suitable for many other awnings. The corners of the extension can be fixed to the ground with the pegs and ropes included in the delivery. The extended length of the extensions is always 200 cm, regardless of the width.
Compared to standard awning extensions, this extension has a small curve at the outer end, so that the extension has ideal tension when stretched. This means that it flutters less and withstands stronger winds better. It can be tensioned at an angle or vertically!
With an extension that reaches all the way to the ground, you usually feel quite isolated from the surroundings. No wonder, because a completely pulled-down side almost looks like an incomplete awning, but without offering the advantages of an awning.
The awning front extensions are available in the following widths: 140, 200, 250 and 270 cm.
The length is always 200 cm for all of them
Material:280 gsm RipStop polycotton (65% polyester / 35% cotton), PU-coated; water and dirt repellent; significantly less fluttering noise due to the comparatively heavy quality.
Attention:The extension cannot be attached at the same time as the awning awning, as both are attached to the same keder rail.
Scope of delivery:
1 piece awning extension in the shape of an arch
2 pieces of cords
2 pegs
The awning is not included in the scope of delivery! The additional telescopic poles, which can be seen in some pictures, are not included in the scope of delivery of the extension, but are optionally available.
Important note: As a subsequent delivery of the materials for this product requires a lot of time, please request the desired item by e-mail if you are interested.
Front parts for our awnings series Evolution 2
... are also suitable for the awnings of other manufacturers - the aluminum front profile must only be equipped with a free keder profile for this purpose or one must be retrofitted.
Front parts fulfill - especially in combination with our awning side parts - various functions:
They are an excellent windbreak - this is where the relatively heavy fabric (280g/m² PU-coated RipStop polycotton - our stone-grey sun sail and awning fabric) comes into play, which is characterized, among other things, by the significantly reduced fluttering noise.They are the ideal rain protection - for this purpose, our sun sail and awning fabric is metal-coated on one side (inside) and water- and dirt-repellent due to the impregnation of the other side (outside).They can be tensioned or also displayed by means of optionally available telescopic poles and thus increase the shaded area immensely. Because of the small and in itself not worth mentioning packing size, our awning front parts as well as our awning side parts belong to these small things with the enormous benefit. If the awning protects from the evening and night chill from above, these awning extensions again significantly increase the comfort. The inside metal coating - primarily the wetness barrier layer - naturally contributes its part to this, reflecting not only the light of a lamp that is probably present, but also to a certain extent emitted thermal radiation (this effect is minor, but quite noticeable).
Material:65% polyester / 35% cotton
Mosquito net as awning for Nakatanenga Awning (or other awnings with the same dimensions) This mosquito net, which is exactly adapted to the dimensions of the Nakatanenga Awning, serves as a pleasant protection against annoying - and possibly also dangerous - mosquitoes. If you close all four outer sides, the mosquito net allows you to comfortably "sit outside" without restricting the air circulation - and the pests have to stay outside! Not only useful in the tropics, Scandinavian holidays in summer are also much more pleasant with fewer mosquito bites. The mosquito net has a ceiling surface that is connected to the 4 side panels without gaps. With this mosquito net awning you stay free of bites & itches and thus ensure a pleasant holiday feeling!
Nakatanenga Evolution 270° awning, incl. two side panels, stone-grey
On long journeys, camping holidays or a quick trip to the lake, the 270° roof awning from Roof Lodge turns every Landy, T5 & Co into a practical and, above all, quickly opened camp. Once you have found the perfect spot for the night or even the whole holiday, the awning fans out in no time at all from the left-hand side of the vehicle to far behind the rear of the vehicle, is then supported by four aluminium telescopic poles and tensioned with the ropes. With the help of flexible side wall tarpaulins that can be quickly attached, an optimal combination of weather protection and openness can be created. Two side panels are included. This creates an adaptable, dry, wind-protected and shaded area for cooking, eating, working and relaxing.
The material of the awning is high-quality, PU-coated RipStop polycotton, a blend of 65% polyester and 35% cotton. The functional fabric is extremely tear-resistant, water- and dirt-repellent and, due to its relatively high weight of 280 g/m2, also produces significantly less fluttering noise in the wind.
Our Roof Lodge awning, which weighs 16.8 kg (incl. side panels), can be mounted on the right and left of the vehicle's roof rack, making it ideal for covering crucial areas such as the driver's, passenger's, side and rear doors, depending on the vehicle model and size. The awning measures 4.35m in total length and covers 4.1m at the side and 2m at the rear (see drawing in the product images). The area of the awning covers approx. 9 sqm ². The awning is secured at the rear with the included tensioning strap set. Two 25 mm wide nylon straps in three different lengths (25, 75 and 125 cm) guarantee stable lashing even with the most varied vehicle/roof rack configurations.
Enjoy all-round freedom - certainly 270° of it - with the Roof Lodge awning from Nakatanenga.
The maximum mounting height of the awning is about 2.20 meters.
Available for either the right or left side

Roof Lodge Evolution 2 Awning / Blind 200 / 250 / 300cm
The new Evolution awning is the perfect travel companion. The large, sturdy awning offers ideal sun and rain protection and helps to keep rising warmth in the evenings. The practical ground rail allows fitting to a number of common roof racks.
The awnings are available in widths of 140, 200, 250 cm cm fit e.g. a Land Rover Defender 110. The extended length of the awning is always 200 cm regardless of width.
The awning is made of PU coated rip-stop Polycotton fabric (a mixture of 65% polyester and 35% cotton), which has excellent water and dirt repellent properties while also being very durable and shape-retaining. Lightweight aluminium telescopic poles help to tighten the awning and set the correct height. The poles can be extended up to 220 cm.
The awning is supplied with 2 pegs, 2 cords, 2 L-shaped mounts, 4 8x20 mm steel screws, 2 8x20 mm bolts and a spanner. A pack sack is supplied, which remains on the vehicle together with the rolled up awning.

Awning 200 cm with extension: 11.7 kgAwning 250 cm with extension: 12.4 kg
Attention: The extension cannot be fitted at the same time as the ground tent for the awning as it uses the same weld track.
Please note: The front panels are only suitable for 250 cm wide awnings.
The front sections are crammed into the top of the awning and attached to the side of the pole poles (see pictures). The side panels are attached to the horizontal aluminium poles at the top and to the pole poles at the side.
The side panels are suitable for all awning widths. We offer the side panels in pairs, the front panels individually.
This practical extension for our awnings is ideal for travel and holidays and offers ideal protection from the sun, evening cold, rain and wind. It significantly increases the utility value of the Nakatanenga awning.
The fabric is made of sturdy RipStop nylon (600den, with PU coating) and is therefore largely safe from mould and mildew stains. Nevertheless, a damp awning or the side walls should be dried after 2-3 days.
These individual walls have been deliberately designed without additional windows and doors. Since the individual elements can be braced like tarps, openings in the surface would mean that the wind would push the rain under the opening covers and thus the areas underneath could not be used.
Colour: Oxide

Additional side panels for Nakatanenga 270° degree awning stone grey, 1 pair
The Nakatanenga Evolution 270° roof awning transforms any Defender, T5 & Co into a practical, flexible and, above all, quickly opened camp in an instant. On expedition, on holiday or just for an afternoon at the lake.
The basic version of the roof awning comes with two side panels. If you want to turn the awning into an enclosed storage area that is protected on all sides, you can order the two additional side sections here.
Like the side walls already included with the awning, the two additional tarpaulins are made of high-quality, PU-coated RipStop polycotton, a blend of 65% polyester and 35% cotton. The functional fabric is extremely tear-resistant, water- and dirt-repellent and, due to its relatively high weight of 280 g/m2 , it also produces significantly less fluttering noise in the wind. It is aluminium-coated on the inside. This helps regulate heat and also ensures pleasant and effective use of existing light sources due to the diffusing reflection.
The side tarpaulins are attached to the poles as required and can be lashed together. This means that when the awning is completely closed, there is hardly any surface for wind and weather to attack

Side panel for Nakatanenga Evolution2 Awning
Roof-mounted car awnings like our EVO II are a great pieces of equipment if you want to turn your 4x4 or van into a quickly set up mobile camp. But proper protection from wind, weather, sun and unwanted attention comes only with the addition of side walls. Conditions vary from location to location and even throughout a single day: the sun is moving from east to west and the wind is changing directions, too. By the sea, it becomes a lot stronger in the evenings and carries dust, sand and the occasional shower. But aside from weather protection, the side tarps also create valuable privacy in crowded camp grounds and other popular locations.
Our side walls come in pairs and are the best solution for all these challenges. Simply stick the velcro fasteners to the roof awning’s frame and fasten the tarps to the ground using the four included tent pegs. All of that is simply a question of minutes and if the wind, the sun or a new location demand a change in position you can easily swap the sidewalls to accommodate the situation.
The two side wall tarps are made from high quality PU-coated RipStop polycotton, a blended fabric containing 65% polyester and 35% cotton. This highly functional material is extremely resistant to tearing, it is water and dirt repellent and due to its high specific weight of 280 g/ m2 the material will make less noise in the wind. The tarp’s inner side features a layer of aluminum to assist in regulating temperature and to diffuse and amplify low intensity light sources like candles, camping lanterns etc.
