Take a closer look at the @STITCHES + STEEL Universal Awning Rail
For all your awning attaching needs, the only rail you should need, for any van, including a T5 - T6 (in theory).
We've worked hard and close to home with a UK based manufacturer spec sheet for this one to create an over-engineered, strong and well-made universal piece of kit with a considered and thought out approach to production, application, packaging and shipping.
This is our STITCHES + STEEL Universal Awning Rail. We've developed this one to pretty much fit on anything- fitting all of our products and the majority of others too. We've thought long and hard about the size of the C section, the diameter of the jaws, the beading that runs through the section, the foot size for mounting it and the sections length for shipping and ease of fitting.
The rail is designed for 'car derived vans,' 'short wheel base vans', 'long wheel base vans' and 'motor homes,' working with most roof racks, roof bars and pop tops. The rail can be stuck, screwed, bolted or glued into place, we’ve had great results using all depending on the application.
We recommend you fasten all sections down with screws (at least two on each section, or better still, the factory bolts on the roof of your van). This Awning rail is designed to go with all STITCHES + STEEL awnings and products taking bolt rope (or kador strip) sizes from 6.5mm to 10mm. (the jaws of the C section are deliberately narrow meaning it can usually take smaller rail strips without being pulled out too).

All looks great until you visit the homepage and find that this is yet another UK company that won't ship overseas.

I went to fit these to my T5 yesterday and couldn't see how they'd go together using the existing rail holes. Seems like a lot of grief to be cutting holes into the aluminium - couldn't Stitches and Steel make a product that is bespoke to each vehicle? I don't think the consumer should be trimming aluminium strips and lining up holes. A one-piece rail with predrilled holes would be a much simpler and more beneficial product IMO.

hello, is it possible to order in france?

[@neilt]

Where you have joined the pieces, there is a definite leak probability. You need to take much more care to seal those bolt holes.

Great information and demo. Shocking camera work, felt seasick several times during it.

[@seabastia]

Hi, do you ship to France ?

[@trishd3698]

Awesome video guys, couldn't be any clearer, thanks..

[@katiefinnegan4649]

I fell into the trap of buying 1 instead of 3 thinking it was a kit. Had to go to a caravan shop and get a 3m length of similar stuff. Anyone wanna buy 1 piece of rail?

[@justinwalmsley4894]

I'm lazy and it's dark... Will this fit on a Ford Transit Custom L1H1 2020?

[@BigArch6564]

Great quality rails.....I bought a set for my Defender 90.

[@thegazzyboomchannel4869]

Think I'm going to have to get one for my LT28!

Wait what....
