SHADEPLUS RV Awning Side Shade 9'x7' Black Mesh Panel — UV-Resistant, Privacy & Wind-Reducing

SHADEPLUS RV Awning Side Shade 9' x 7' is a black, heavy-duty mesh side panel that attaches to most RV awnings to increase shade, reduce wind, and add privacy in minutes.

If you spend time outdoors with an RV, trailer, or camper, this detachable side shade gives a quick way to control sunlight, breeze, and sightlines without modifying your awning. The screen is made of 7.9 oz UV-resistant mesh and ships with a full installation kit so you can set up or remove the panel fast. It matches popular awning brands and is sized to cover a 9-foot width and 7-foot drop.

How does the SHADEPLUS side shade block sun and heat?

The tightly woven knife-coated mesh reduces direct sunlight and minimizes solar gain while still letting some daylight through. It is UV-resistant so the fabric maintains performance over repeated outdoor exposure. The material reduces glare and helps create a cooler, more comfortable shaded area under the awning.

• 7.9 oz durable mesh fabric for long-lasting UV resistance
• Small mesh openings (about 0.4mm x 0.8mm) to block strong sun rays
• Black color for effective light absorption without full blackout

Will this shade improve privacy without cutting the view?

The knife-coated curtain mesh provides privacy from outside observers while allowing people inside to see out. The one-way visibility effect means activities inside are less visible, yet the occupants retain an open view of the surroundings. This balance keeps the area feeling connected to the outdoors while shielding it from passerby sightlines.

• Mesh construction obscures interior details from outside
• Design used in upscale curtain systems for privacy with visibility
• Maintains outward sightlines for scenic enjoyment

How stable is the shade in windy conditions and how is it secured?

Because the mesh has very small openings, it presents less wind load than wider-weave fabrics. The kit includes bungee balls, hooks, and stakes so you can tension the panel between the awning arm and RV body, creating a secure attachment. Properly staked and tensioned, the screen reduces drafts and drafts through the awning space for more comfortable outdoor living.

• 0.4mm x 0.8mm mesh hole size reduces wind penetration
• Comes with bungee balls, hooks and stakes for quick tensioned mounting
• Quick set-up in 2–3 minutes when instructions followed

Does it fit my RV awning and how easy is installation?

The 9' x 7' panel is designed to be a universal fit for most common awning brands such as Carefree, Lippert, and Solera. Installation uses the supplied hardware—hook to the awning arm, attach bungee balls to the RV side, and stake the bottom—and typically takes just a few minutes for one person. Removal for travel or storage is equally fast.

• Size: 9 feet wide by 7 feet tall to suit standard awnings
• Includes a complete hardware kit for DIY mounting
• Compatible with major awning brands and common mounting points
