Collection: Darche

From awnings to BBQ pits, shower tents to roof tents, Darche is one of the leading manufacturers of premium outdoor gear that’s perfectly suited to the tough Australian environment. Adding a Darche awning extends your rig’s camping footprint, providing much-needed shade for your R&R. Plus, all Darche camping accessories are tailor designed for simplicity, with simple single-person setup leaving you more time to do the stuff you enjoy.

Darche

Proudly Australian, Darche has been at the forefront of top quality, practical camping and outdoor gear since 1991. They continually test, design and add innovative camping accessories and solutions to their portfolio. From weekend comforts to extreme expedition necessities, Darche awnings, tents, swags, chairs, floors and more are the real-world solutions you need to bring a few home comforts to your beach, bush or mountain adventure.

Very importantly, Darche products are lightweight and designed to have the smallest footprint possible when not in use. Every rig owner knows that every centimetre of space kit takes up has to fight for its right to be included. Weight is also at a premium. Every gram count, meaning the use of lightweight technology that doesn’t compromise structure and function is crucial. These vital aspects underpin the design of all Darche products, with multiple options in most product lines to suit space and weight requirements.

What type of products does Darche manufacture?

Darche awnings, such as the 270 and the 180 are some of the company’s best-known products. Their range of freestanding awnings, showers, pullout awnings and awning tents are also camping and expedition favourites. But the range doesn’t stop there… Darche rooftop tents are hugely popular, as well as other overnighting options, such as swags and other multi-person tents and shelters. Darche camping furniture is also hugely popular, as is Darche campsite gear, including BBQs, tableware and more. 

Are Darche awnings and kit suitable for Aussie weather conditions?

You bet they are… As an Australian company, it’d be a pretty poor show if they weren’t! The company uses UV-resistant materials, and every product is thoroughly wind tested to ensure it’s up to scratch. This includes the Darche free-standing awnings.

How easy are Darche awnings to use?

Yes, and it’s one of the reasons they’re so popular. Most are designed to be put up and dismantled single-handedly. The construction uses tough, well-designed hinges and mechanisms, removing those frustratingly fiddly, time-consuming tasks that can make setting up a campsite such a chore. They also break down just as easily, meaning when you’re ready to hit the road you can pack up and be ready in roughly the same amount of time it takes to gulp your morning cuppa…

What about storage?

The dimensions of a packaged awning will depend on the model. The ECO 180 is hugely popular when space is at a premium. The 270 has a larger footprint, making it ideal for roof rack storage. One of the best things about packing up a Darche awning (or any of their camping accessories) is that they come with decent sized storage bags, making campsite breakdown and pack up a painless experience.

What warranty does Darche offer?

The length of the warranty depends on the product. For example, Darche tableware comes with a 1-year warranty and awnings and tents come with a 3-year warranty.
