Side Wall for Rhino-Rack Dome Awning - 8' Long x 6-3/4' Tall

Video Transcript for Rhino-Rack Dome Awning Side Wall Review

What's up It's AJ with etrailer.com. Today, we're gonna be checking out the Rhino-Rack Side Wall that is gonna attach to your dome awning and goes on either side you want it to, just to either get some privacy or it add a little bit more shade, let's check it out. It's made out of a poly cotton canvas, so the same material that the dome awning is already made out of, it's gonna match it, it's gonna be able to stand up to the UV rays and it won't collect any water or mold on you. The side wall's gonna be held on by two snaps, buttons at the top, also has hook and loop that goes all the way across up here, sealing that up there. Now on the side, on our support pole, it has three hook and loop attachments all the way down. And then, we even have a reinforcement at the bottom, a strap that you can put a stake through just to make sure it doesn't go anywhere.

Now we know what it's made out of and how it attaches, let's go through the process of setting it up, but also check out, when we first set up earlier today, why exactly we need it and how uncomfortable it was before we added this side wall on. We got our spot set up today. This is where I plan to hang out just here on the hill. Now you can see that we have the awning set up and it works pretty well for that section. The way it's set up with the sun coming in, it's still kind of cutting in here to the awning, so me and my cooler are actually in the sun, even though we're underneath the awning.

But we can fix that by adding a wall here, to block some more sun. Side wall doesn't take up a lot of space, comes in its own carry bag. So it's not gonna add a whole lot, 'cause especially if an awning that rolls up and stays on your roof rack, you don't wanna take a whole bunch of extra stuff with you. But it fits right in here, I'll show you it's got the drawstring. Just pull that, open up the bag, and I'll set the wall aside.

Included with the side wall, the carrying bag, then there's another bag inside there that has the two stakes to help you get it put into the ground to keep it in place. It's gonna be really easy to set up that wall. Up here at the top on our awning, it's gonna have hook and loop and two snaps in there, so we're just gonna go up there first and start working that on there. So we push the snap in to help hold it up there. And then, just attach the hook and loop.

With it attached up top, we're just gonna come to the side, we have a hook and loop to attach to our poles on the awning, so we're just gonna do that here in the middle and there's one more at the bottom, before we stake it down. And we go to stake it, we got the two eyelets here that are reinforced at the bottom. I like that, so you don't have to worry about it being just the nylon strap. You don't have to worry about it ripping and tearing on you. I'll just push the stake in the ground to secure it. With the wall installed, you see how much better it looks now. I got full shade on my awning, I don't have to worry about moving the cooler every time the sun moves a little bit. I can stay right here and hang out all day. Overall, I like the side wall. It doesn't take up a whole lot of space when you have it packed up or when you go to bring it with you. It doesn't take that long to install it either. It can go on either side of your awning, so no matter where the sun is, you can keep it out and get the maximum amount of shade. You can also get a second side wall if you want two walls up just to keep all that sun out. Well, I think that does it. Thanks for hanging out, and I hope this helps..
