Why Purchase a Horse Trailer Awning?
Looking forward to the upcoming show season? Anticipating an exciting summer vacation with your horse, traveling to state parks, the ocean, or wherever for some trail riding?
Whatever your plans might be, you don’t have to sacrifice comfort or privacy just because you’re traveling with your horse.
Matter of fact, if you take a tour of most show grounds, you’ve probably seen rigs that have all the comforts of home. One of the features that stand out to me is the horse trailer awnings.
You may not know it, but awnings serve several purposes, besides providing shelter from that unexpected summer downpour. Awnings also do the following:

  • Protect your horse trailer’s paint and finish from the harsh sun. (The awnings we sell here at Double D, manufactured by A&E Systems, the world's-leading provider of innovative leisure products, are UV protected.)
  • Extend your personal space. That’s right, awnings let you “stake out your territory,” so to speak, and help keep passersby a respectable distance from your trailer and equipment. In addition, individual window awnings provide privacy for you when you’re inside.
  • Add aesthetic appeal. Let’s face it, if you’ve just purchased a gorgeous horse trailer, you’ll really want to show it off. A&E awnings stand out with an eye-catching horizontal striped pattern in bold colors. It never hurts to look good.
  • Provide shelter from rain, snow, or sun. Awnings let you live outdoors regardless of the weather. So when that summer downpour I spoke of earlier opens up on you, you don’t have to run inside the trailer with those ribs just off the grill! You can sit there and enjoy them.

A&E awnings are made of heavy-duty, polyester reinforced vinyl, so they’re tough and long lasting. They also resist scratching, fading, and staining and are mildew resistant. Setting up the awning is easy (one person can do it) with A&E‘s universal operating hardware, so no struggling or wasting time.
