Caravans are the ideal way to spend quality time with loved ones, whether you’re planning a fun getaway with friends or an adventure with the family. If you’re travelling in a caravan, you might need a little extra protection from the unpredictable weather. It’s also important to keep pesky bugs and insects at bay, and in some cases, the right kind of shade or room is required to keep you safe from all of this.

In order to combat all of these problems you have the choice to choose between sun Shades, annexes or awnings for your caravans. These have a variety of features, but they all provide protection from the elements and insects. However, your needs will be determined by why you want to purchase each of these.

The following are some of the things you need to keep in mind when choosing to buy between any one of these three.

Sunscreens

Sunscreens can help to protect you from the sun, however it is capable of far more than just that. The majority of sunscreens are made of materials that allow air to pass through. This means you’ll be able to feel the breeze even if you’re sitting inside. If the weather is nice, the caravan sunscreen can give you a break from the sun while still allowing you to enjoy the scenery. In the event of heavy rain or strong winds however, the material will not be able to provide you with the necessary protection.

To summarise, the reason for purchasing a sunscreen is that it will provide you with a little more privacy while camping. The tent-like structure provides you with an additional space to relax and enjoy the weather.

Awnings

When compared to sunscreens, awnings provide a bit more shade and protection. This is due to the fact that they can shade an area outside your caravan and turn it into a small patio. Because these are usually custom built, you can get a lot of features that you can’t get in a corporate setting. These come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and materials. They also let you select the size of the area that needs to be covered.

When you have an awning on your caravan, you have more storage space. In addition, if you choose the right study material, it can protect you from the elements outside. One of the advantages of rollout caravan awnings is that they can be rolled out or wind down as needed. They are simple to set up and do not take a long time to complete. Because the awnings are permanently attached to your caravan, you won’t have to worry about forgetting it when you get home.

Caravan Annexes

Because they provide ample space, annexes act as an extension of your caravan. Annexes are completely enclosed, providing you with weather protection and completely blocking the view of other campers, providing you with maximum privacy. The flat side of an annexe is made of waterproof material. If you want to create a weather-proof camping area, annexes are ideal. It’s simple to put together, and you can choose between an annexe with full walls, screens, and even doors and windows.
