Here’s an idea I came up with for making an annex room for my side awning. All these types of side awnings are similar (probably made from the same parts in the same warehouse in China). They all have a "channel" on the flat-bar side. The only difference will be the size. I personally have the Yakima slim shady that's 6.5 x 6.5 feet. Arb makes 3 sizes ranging from 8 x 8 feet to 4 x 6.8 feet but even the cheapo ones have side channels. DID YOU KNOW: annex rooms go from $200 to $300? Here's how you can give yourself some extra weather protection and privacy for $20.
Here's the link to the tarps:

Don't forget to buy some 3/8" rope, and as suggested in the comments below, buy some magnets too!
I hope you find this useful.

**Thank you to Michael for letting us know that the price has gone up for these "sun walls". As of right now, depending on color, the price is $18 to $25.**
One thing I didn’t mention is that you should stake down your side awning during high winds. The two ropes dangling inside this annex room should be on the outside and anchored down to the earth. Sorry I wasn’t able to show you how that’s done. This video was shot during the Covid-19 pandemic and it’s recommended that we self isolate at home.
Genius. I will be doing this and using some tarp clips on the bottom to pull it out and peg it down! Just saved me so much money 😃
Clever solution Jon! That was a great find and makes far more sense than the (completely) DIY approach to this I was kicking around.
softroadingthewest I wasn’t so crazy about this side awning, but with the addition of these side walls, I’m loving it! They connect so quickly and the whole setup doesn’t take up any extra storage space besides a little grocery bag I’d carry the tarp walls in.
Clever, exactly what I was looking for, thanks for sharing
Thanks for the 3/8 rope tip. Consider cutting and sewing the edge that goes against the SUV, If you are going to customize do not stop in the middle, go all the way.
nice! i second the idea of using magnets to secure the car side of the "awning room". gonna have to score me some of those canopy walls!
SCTPASS magnets are a good idea! I have some, but I doubt they’re strong enough. Going to search for some Neodymium!!!! Haha! Love the name!
Awesome, thanks for sharing. you even showed me an easier way to roll up the awning by your self without even knowing it !
(leaving the upper poles extended while rolling up....duh)
You’re very welcome! Yes, the poles act like another set of arms to hold the awning up while rolling 😃
Nice! Those awning rooms are hundreds of dollars ready made, so even if a side panel is $20 one is still ahead! Plus its nearly ready to go with that zipper, can customize.
Love this , think I’ll add grommets to the bottoms to stake them down as well
Thank you for the sharing Gretings from Poland👍
Hey DIY DEEZEY, nice to see you improvising with the outhouse build. Looks like a two-hole deluxe model to me. Alternatively, it could be your Casbah sand nomad tent. Either way, looking forward to next outdoor deployment. Stay safe and have fun.
JimBo Headspace thanks 🙏! “Casbah sand nomad tent”? 🤣🤣🤣 thats a good idea! I always wanted to Rock the Casbah! As always, thanks for stopping by to leave a comment!
hi Jon My name is Will and I have been watching your channel from the very start and I wanted to share some info with you i am driving a 2017 Ridgeline with 85000 miles on the clock and I just remembered why I got the Ridgeline and not the Pilot when Honda designed the Ridgeline they customized about 50% of the original Pilot design to make it stronger for the new truck build that means the wheel bearings the whole suspension is much more solid in the truck then in all other honda suvs it makes the truck better suited for off roading you can view a comparison with the Pilot on the jason honda pro website thought you might find this interesting keep op the good work and stay safe Will
wilfried gronau thanks for the support! Yes, I watched all those video’s before I made my purchase of the Honda Passport. It’s true, the suspension parts are more robust in the Ridgeline. I wondered what parts the Passport had (Ridgeline or Pilot?), until this day I’m not totally sure, but I believe it’s from the Pilot, I just have different rear strut towers to give me 0.8 inches more ground clearance over the Pilot. Suspension setup and steering ratio is a tad bit different too.
3:45 Suburban DJ Jon ... in the mix ! Spinning all your fav' dance hits.
LOL, all you need inside there now is a turntable, speakers, disco ball & colored lights and you'd have one hella lively neighborhood mini-club.
The Tourminator haha! 😃
Great MOD thanks
Nice video, keep them coming!

Great ideas, especially as can use it as a shower area
Erin Russell that’s right! I’ve had some of my best showers in this annex room. I just prop a water spigot jug on top of one of the seats and cup my hands to catch the water and clean myself. I also use a expandable water bucket to catch the water and stand on a foam mat to keep my feet nice and clean.
Even with the higher price, they're still much cheaper than having to buy the actual room.
Looks good and great idea! You could also use Neodymium Magnets to stick it to the side of your rig.
Sgt. SLaughter thanks! I will go buy some of those! I don’t know what Neldymium is... but sounds very strong!
How did it hold up? How long did it last?
Thats good thinking. Just remember to use those as anchors if possible. you've increased the wind loading but not the resistance to the wind. You could simply put rocks on them, or get some stakes.
Patrick Rich thanks! I reinforced the tarps with inner velcro straps for the vertical poles. I also place my gear to hold the tarp down. Someone mentioned magnets to secure the tarp onto my vehicle, that’s a good idea too!
@@JonDZ_Adventuring neodymium are crazy strong, I use some for window nets. They break easy though so watch out for that. I've had my awning blow down even staked. These side panels are a great chance to turn a liability into an asset by giving you more stake down points
@@PatrickRich they break easy? Actually... that's why I have this awning. My awning was given to me, because it wasn't staked down and blew over my friends vehicle, breaking in the process. He gave it to me, knowing that I love to tinker and fix things. These awnings or only held together with these little rivets, so I wasn't surprised that the awning fell apart. I drilled out the rivets and installed 3/8" nut and bolt. I use 6 inch lag bolts to stake down the awning.
@@JonDZ_Adventuring the magnets break easy.
Patrick Rich oooooouuuuuu 😯. Gotcha!
The music was so sincere 🥰
Tony Tickles 😘
Right?, this is intense! I was totally looking for a different video but now I want this for my truck...great job, I’m sold.
I just bought 2 of these walls but they don't have the 3/8" channel anymore. Sewn closed at the ends and don't seem to be 3/8" in the run. I may fold it over the rope and glue it down.
Badass
I have Yakima slim shady what size should I get. I believe mine is 6.5feet
Thanks, great tip!
This is great, thanks! Is the 3/8" rope sewn into the sidewall? How is it attached in there? Thanks!!
Sorry for the late reply. I had someone sew in the 3/8” rope, but it’s not necessary. You can simply fold and overlap the sidewall over the rope and then feed it through into the awning channel. Hope that helps.
I’m glad you wore a mask, I’d hate for anyone to catch covid through a RUclips video.
Glad you paid attention to when I made the video, which was during the start of Covid and there was a stay at home order in California, which was before our government determined getting outdoors was one of the safest ways to combat to protect against covid. (👏 slow clap)
Please advise. Just use it yesterday. Due to heavy rain, the awning stored lots water. And it makes side pole support, bent. We hardly can push it back to its place. Here in Indonesia, heavy rain are unpredicted, any advise how to prevent it from bend? And how can i fix side pole support that has bent? (Not the vertical pole support).
You might be able to purchase those side poles separate. You can simply unbolt the damaged pole and install the replacement. To make this this doesn’t happen again, get an extending pole to put the middle of the awning upwards, so that it’s like a roof hut 🛖, that way water won’t collect. Good luck! Let me know how it goes. I now have a new 180 degree awning that’s built much tougher. It will collect water, but the arms of made of honey comb aluminum and it would be really difficult to bend.
I spot a 2019 Forester lol. Good job man, ill look into this, your Yakima seems to be the same build as my ARB.
Rob Mascarinas i have two neighbors with 2019+ Foresters 😃
Rob Mascarinas the ARB awnings come in 8x8, 6.5x6.6, and 4x7. This solution will work on all of them... or you can pay the $200-300 🙁
3 months later and that company selling the walls doubled their prices on amazon
Oh, those bastards! Now I need to change my thumbnail to $40 annex room :(
Thanks for letting me know.
Very nice solution without breaking the bank. It looks straight forward enough, but in reality I can see myself trying to set it up ASAP to hide from rain and wind. How long did it take to setup?
Borderline Explorer I custom configured it to fit better. I figure I can add the two tarp walls in a pinch. It’ll probably take just minutes if I hustle. 2 minutes maybe?
That's pretty good!
was it cold?
Now it’s $30 for one side lol
Oh NO! Hahaha! That’s a $60 DIY awning room then 😭
But where is the bottle opener?
Ah... that's a good idea! I'll add one!
What size did you buy? I also have a slim shady awning. I just don't know if two 8x8 will be able to zip up together
Peter Tran I purchased two 10x10 foot. The slim shady is 6.5x6.5 feet. You’ll need to cover 19.5 feet of wall, so the two 10x10’s will be a good option. I’d prolly opt for a dark color btw. The beige let’s a lot of light in, and I don’t have complete privacy when the sun is out.
is your awning attached to your rooftop box? or how is that set up?
Mario Figueroa good question! The awning actually connects to my cross bars.
This is awesome! Do you think this would work with the 6.5ft by 8ft ARB awning I have?
Dustin Boyersmith it would! All of these side awnings have a channel system. It’s like they’re all made in the same factory.
@@JonDZ_Adventuring Thanks! Is there already a sleeve to feed the 3/8 rope through so you can slide it onto the awning channel or did you have to sew together something for the rope to go into?
Dustin Boyersmith I personally sewed mine in (quite terribly, think baby trying to knit), but you don’t need to. You can just overlap the tarp on around the rope, that should do the job.
ahhhahahhahahahhahah Yaaas it works! Hey buy a magnet so you can stick it behind your car.
glad it works! Yes, I'm using magnets now too!
How well does this keep out insects? Primarily interested in keeping out mosquitoes :D
Jerry Lee it definitely helps. I’ve been using magnets to better secure the walls to my vehicle. An area that’s not covered is under the vehicle, so that would be an area for mosquitos to get to you. My recommendation would be to use these sidewalls on an actual 10x10 easy up. This will ensure you have an enclosed safe space. They also make tents specifically to block bugs and mosquitos
Good thing you had that mask on... Outside... In your drive way... by yourself... all alone... The Rona hides out there. Good info, thanks for the video.
What's the story covering your face? To look cool?
Shot this video during commifornia covid mask mandates back in 2020
why do you have a mask on for this video?
Nice mask
mynamesjeff thanks Jeff 🤣! Just trying to “flatten the curve” and avoid that $1000 fine 😖.
Oh ow! That's wild. Better safe than sorry. Haha thanks for the sick video
Good video. But Really Dude! You couldn't do it without a damn mask on.
Video is from April 2020. I live in Commiefornia and of all places LA county. So, NO! I couldn’t do the video without a DAMN mask on. They were threatening with $1000 fines at the onset of the pandemic.
