This commitment led Darche to a comprehensive 30-day wind testing period, exposing the awning to a spectrum of winds ranging from gentle breezes to severe gales according to the Beaufort scale.<\/p>\n<p>Based on results and observations gained over the wind testing period, the Eclipse 270 Freestanding Hardshell Awning is rated up to <strong>30km\/hr winds whilst freestanding<\/strong>. However, our recommendation is that 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.<\/p>\n<p>Besides its durability, the Eclipse 270 Freestanding Hardshell Awning is also chock-full of features for your comfort and convenience, including <strong>dual-colour dimmable LED strips<\/strong> fully-integrated in the rafter arms and a redesigned powder-coated two-piece backing plate with a new canvas-style fully-enclosed transit cover, which maximises weather resistance while still retaining the ability to easily move the awning from one vehicle to another.<\/p>\n<p>A fully enclosed aluminum shell covers this new version, complete with study silicone end caps that feature strong magnets for securing, and vents for keeping the awning dry if put away after a rainfall. Awning walls perfectly complement this awning, available soon in a version specifically made for the Hardshell awning<\/p>\n<h6 class=\"embedded-list__label\"><span class=\"embedded-list__label-inner\">KEY FEATURES<\/span><\/h6>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>NEW<\/strong> Hardshell RTT Entry version allows easy access to your tent&#8217;s rear entrance<\/li>\n<li>Freestanding design with 30km\/hr wind rating (60km\/hr when tied down)<\/li>\n<li>80 ft\u00b2 of cover and the most useable shape on the market &#8211; maximum rear coverage!<\/li>\n<li>Fully-enclosed aluminum transit cover with two-piece backing plate design maximises weather resistance<\/li>\n<li>Multi-piece height-adjustable brackets suits a wide range of setup types<\/li>\n<li>Black powder-coated X-tube aluminium alloy rafter arms, backing plate &amp; hinges<\/li>\n<li><b><u>I<\/u><\/b>ntegrated dual-colour (white and amber) dimmable LED lights on four rafter arms.
