Bradcot Active

We have had a Bradcot Active for 2 years now. It has been used regularly and we have had no problems at all.

It is well made with strong material, has been out in all conditions and withstood all the British weather could throw at us.

It has kept out wind and rain, even at the zips which are strong and work well. If the awning is erected correctly without pulling too tightly on the zips it works perfectly.

We found the staff at Bradcot very friendly and willing to answer any queries.

If it has a downside at all, it is on the heavy side, but to get quality and strength like this, it is a small drawback worth putting up with. I don't think it is heavier than any other awning of this quality.

It is easy to erect and looks good when up.

We have had a Bradcot awning for 6 years. It has been used frequently and performed well in wind, rain, ice and snow as well as in very hot weather abroad. The plastic ties look cheap, but have lasted well, and the fabric looks as good today as it did when we bought it. The instructions were inadequate, and at first we found it a fight to build. When you have worked it out, though, the awning is easy to erect (we don't have the easy system). Can't comment on customer services- we haven't used it.

As long as you dont need to contact Bradcot Active for parts or service fine.

first time out in new awning the stiching has ripped at the sides.and the zips do not work proper

we have tried to contact bradcot active so many times but no one bothers to get back to us i have even sent emails we paid alot of money for such a rubbish service DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT

Bradcot Active caravan awning is nice material and has attractive looks. Windy weather sorts out the men from the boys in awnings and all the flaws in this awning come out in such conditions. We had to add anchor points to ours to secure it to the ground. The plastic anchors for the ladders just snap. There is not enough of them to hold down an awning - ours was 975 cm - even with a storm kit applied. In the end, I made so many modifications that it could withstand a Storm 10, but it cost a lot of money to get it there.

I have the Bradcot Active awning with 2 annexes, it is a nice looking piece, erects easily very nice poles which are easy to erect.

But!!! All the ties are cheap plastic and so very flimsey I can not see them lasting the life of the awning.

Within a few months the guys on the annexe had come off.

It is sad that they used cheap ties for a nice awning
