Australian-made, ultra-lite, ultra-high-quality awnings

CleverShade, first designed and manufactured in 1993, is the original octagonal awning. Its primary design considerations are strength, usability, style, size, and weight.

On average, CleverShade products are wind-rated up to 25 mph without the use of ropes or poles. They are made with fade-resistant, European-made acrylic canvas and are housed on an exceptionally strong powder-coated aluminum frame. Even 30 years later, CleverShade remains the lightest wrap-around awning on the market!

Australian manufacturing is renowned for its high standards, particularly in the 4x4 industry. Unlike most awning manufacturers, CleverShade continues to produce its products in Australia, not overseas.

If you're looking for a product that is 100% Australian Made, CleverShade is your go-to choice.

Over the past 30 years, CleverShade has been committed to designing and manufacturing quality awnings. Their original 270-degree shape was recognized and patented by IP Australia. Today, amidst an influx of brands and the competitive race to slash prices, CleverShade has maintained its focus on leading the industry in quality through investments in its manufacturing processes and designs.

CleverShade's design team continues to develop products that are stronger, larger, and more user-efficient while staying true to their ethos of achieving strength and lightness through simplicity. Manufacturing in Australia has always been their choice, and now CleverShade is officially accredited as Australian Made and Owned. This assures you of genuine Australian quality in every product you purchase.
