Choosing A Tailgate Awning: Size, Setup, And Wind Rating
An awning changes a tailgate from a quick stop into an actual hangout spot, but the wrong size or a flimsy setup can turn into a headache fast.
- Measure your actual footprint first — a 10x10 canopy feels tight once a table, chairs, and a cooler are all under it.
- Check the wind rating before buying; open lots and stadium parking are windier than most backyards.
- Practice the setup once at home — fumbling with poles in a crowded lot is the worst place to learn.
Don’t forget the flagpole to support your favorite team!
