Thule Rain Blocker 2.75m Side – XL (2.65–2.84 m) is a purpose-built side wall for Thule awnings that extends your outdoor living space while protecting you from wind and rain. Designed for quick, tool-free installation, this side privacy panel transforms your canopy into a weather-ready retreat without sacrificing visibility or airflow.

Why this side panel stands out

• All-weather privacy and protection: a weather-shield side wall that blocks drafts and drizzle, so you can enjoy meals, reading, or conversation even in less-than-ideal conditions.
• Premium material & clarity: crafted from micro-aired screen fabric that’s transparent and light, delivering shielding without creating a closed-in feel.
• Versatile mounting on both sides: slides into the aluminium rafter between the awning box and lead rail, and can be installed on either side to fit your setup.
• Snap-in convenience with tension rafter included: quick, secure installation that maintains tension for a clean, taut panel in all weather.
• Modular compatibility: designed to combine with other Thule panels, and compatible with Thule QuickFit for expanded customization of your shade and shelter system.
• Rain-blocking yet adaptable: PVC side panel with mud slip keeps moisture out while preserving visibility and airflow for a comfortable sideline space.

What you get and how it fits your setup

The Rain Blocker projects 2.75 m from the awning, with a height range of 2.65–2.84 m, making it suitable for a wide range of Thule awning installations. It fits Thule Awning Series 8000 and Series 6900, ensuring a seamless match with your existing canopy. The included tension rafter ensures a tight, secure fit from installation to use, while the lightweight, durable fabric resists sagging in breeze-filled conditions.

Ideal use scenarios

• Camping trips where gusty winds or sudden showers are common, turning your awning into a sheltered lounge.
• RVs and caravans seeking a private, weather-protected side area for dining, storage, or changing gear.
• Backyard setups that benefit from an extended, closed-in feel without sacrificing openness and light.

Practical tips and care

For best results, ensure the tension rafter is properly engaged to maintain a taut panel, and pair the Rain Blocker with compatible Thule panels for a cohesive shelter system. Clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent; avoid harsh chemicals to preserve fabric clarity and durability. When you need to adapt to different conditions, you can add or remove side panels as needed, keeping your outdoor space flexible and functional.
