leaveshade RV Awning Side Sun Shade Screen 9'x7' Black — UV-blocking, breathable mesh for cooler patio

Leaveshade RV Awning Side Sun Shade Screen is a 9' wide × 7' drop black mesh side panel that reduces sun and UV, lowers patio temperature, and adds wind and light rain protection for camper awnings.

This side sunshade is built for RV and travel trailer awnings to create a cooler, more private outdoor living space. Made from vinyl-coated polyester mesh with reinforced stitching and practical hardware, it fastens to most common awning brands and can be set up or removed quickly. The design balances airflow and outward visibility while blocking a high percentage of harmful rays so your seating area stays comfortable on hot, sunny days.

How much sun and heat does this awning side shade cut?

The Leaveshade mesh blocks roughly 86% of UV light and reduces direct sun exposure, which lowers the ambient temperature beneath your awning. That translates into a noticeably cooler sitting area so you can relax outdoors longer.

• Approximately 86% UV reduction for sun protection.
• Typical surface temperature drop of about 15–25°F in bright conditions.
• Mesh weave maintains airflow to prevent stagnant heat buildup.
• Black finish reduces glare while preserving outward view.

Will it stand up to wind and light rain at the campsite?

The panel is designed to break wind gusts and divert light rain away from the patio area rather than acting as a full rain wall. Its mesh structure reduces wind pressure on the awning and helps protect seating and gear from splashes driven by crosswinds.

• Wind-reducing mesh construction limits force on the awning.
• Helps keep light rain from entering the patio zone.
• High-extension bungees absorb movement and reduce stress on fastenings.
• Stainless steel screws and zinc alloy hooks secure attachment points.

What materials and hardware are included for installation?

This side shade uses a vinyl-coated polyester mesh with double-stitched edges and black-finished eyelets to resist wear. The kit includes the essential fasteners so you can attach it to most awnings quickly, and a zippered storage bag for compact packing when not in use.

• Durable vinyl-coated polyester mesh with double stitches for longevity.
• Black finished grommets, two zinc alloy hooks, and stainless steel screws.
• Two stakes and three elastic bungee cords of varying lengths for flexible anchoring.
• Zipper storage bag included for transport and neat storage.

Does this fit my awning and which sizes/colors are available?

The product measures to provide a 7-foot drop and fits many popular awning brands with a nominal 9-foot width. Leaveshade offers several color choices and can accommodate custom sizes from the manufacturer if your rig needs a different dimension.

• Actual drop: 7 feet — designed to pair with a 9' awning span.
• Compatible with Dometic (A&E), Carefree, Lippert, Fiamma, Solera and others.
• Available colors: Black, Beige, Gift Blue, Brown, Navy Blue, Gray.
• Manufacturer offers custom sizing on request for nonstandard awnings.

Who this product is for: RV owners and overlanders who want a quick, durable way to make their awning patio more usable in full sun or breezy weather. It suits families, couples, and solo campers who need added privacy, lower temperatures next to their rig, and a simple setup without permanent modifications. If you camp in sunny, windy, or mixed-weather conditions and use your awning as an outdoor living area, this side sunshade provides practical shade, protection, and convenience.
