Choose the Right Heavy Duty Awning for Your Team

Heavy duty race tents are for teams that need more than a lightweight gazebo. Stronger frames, thicker covers and better anchoring give you a paddock shelter you can trust at places like Silverstone, Donington Park, Brands Hatch and beyond. Use this page to choose the right level of strength and footprint before heading to the product you want.

Key Benefits of Heavy Duty Motorsport Awnings

Every awning in this range is built for real motorsport use rather than garden duty. Typical benefits include:

  • Stronger frames for exposed paddocks and long seasons

  • Better weather resistance for wind, rain and UV at British and European circuits

  • Clean, organised working zones for tools, tyre racks and vehicle prep

  • Professional branding space for sponsors, team colours and paddock presence

  • Modular options so you can link units, add pit walling or bring Swisstrax flooring into the setup

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a heavy duty pop up awning and an MQ-65 freestanding awning?
Heavy duty pop up awnings use reinforced aluminium frames with quick-deploy legs, making them ideal for regular race use where you still need fast setup and pack down. MQ-65 freestanding awnings use a heavier, modular framework with 650 gsm PVC covers and curtain walls, giving you a true portable garage or hospitality unit with a more permanent feel in the paddock.
When should I choose an MQ-65 freestanding awning instead of a pop up?
Choose MQ-65 if you need maximum space, strength and presentation – for example multi car teams, endurance racing, or when hosting VIP guests and sponsors. A heavy duty pop up is better when you prioritise speed of setup, tighter transport space and more frequent moves between events.
Can you print our team and sponsor branding on heavy duty awnings?
Yes. Both heavy duty pop up race tents and MQ-65 awnings can be supplied with custom printed roofs and sidewalls. We offer vinyl application on stock colours as well as full dye-sublimation printing to match your livery and sponsor artwork across the full structure.
Which size heavy duty awning is best for my paddock space?
For single car teams, 3 m x 4.5 m or 3 m x 6 m heavy duty pop ups usually give full vehicle coverage with room to work around the car. For two car or multi car setups, larger footprints such as 4 m x 8 m pop ups or MQ-65 in 4 m x 6 m, 6 m x 8 m or 6 m x 12 m give more working and hospitality space. Measure your vehicle and allow extra clearance for tools, tyres and crew movement.
How do I anchor a heavy duty motorsport awning safely at the circuit?
On grass or softer paddocks, use storm straps and long stakes on every leg and across the structure. On hard standing, fit cast iron or water weights to each leg and add straps where possible. Correct anchoring is essential at circuits like Donington Park, Snetterton and Knockhill to protect your team, equipment and the awning itself.
Do you deliver heavy duty awnings across the UK and Europe?
Yes. We supply heavy duty race tents and MQ-65 awnings across the UK, and can arrange shipping into Europe for race teams, championships and organisers. Get in touch for current lead times, delivery options and any export details you need to consider.
