Motocross Trailer Awnings built for the pits.

Custom fixed-frame awnings for MX and powersports teams, the pro upgrade from a pop-up canopy. Heavy aluminum frames, printed sponsor graphics, and a free-hanging span that keeps your pit open. Built in-house in Little Falls, MN and shipped to riders nationwide.

You already hauled the bikes, the fuel, the spares, and the whole crew in an enclosed trailer, and you're still fighting a 10×10 pop-up in the wind. A DMP motocross awning bolts to the rig you already own and deploys off the side in minutes. No canopy legs in the walkway, no sandbags, no chasing a tent across the pits when the wind picks up. It hangs clean over your work area, carries your sponsors in full color, and holds its shape weekend after weekend.

01 · Why upgrade from a pop-up

Ditch the 10×10.

A fixed-frame motocross trailer canopy is the pro upgrade from a pop-up. The 10×10 is fine until the wind, the crowd, or a full moto weekend tests it. Here's what the fixed frame buys you.

  • Free-hanging 12 to 14 ft span. No legs or poles in your pit. Roll a bike under it, stand it on the stand, and work clear of any obstruction.
  • Mounts to your enclosed trailer. The awning attaches to the rig you already haul, so setup is a two-minute job off one side, not a tent to build from scratch.
  • Doesn't blow away. A rigid aluminum frame tied to a loaded trailer behaves nothing like a lightweight pop-up that catches wind like a sail.
  • Sponsor graphics printed in. Full-color branding printed straight into the fabric turns your pit into signage riders and sponsors actually notice.
  • Quick connect / disconnect. Tool-light setup and teardown so you're wrenching and riding, not wrestling hardware.
  • Built to last seasons. Heavy A-frames, stainless hardware, and a one-piece zipper hold up to a full season of races, not one rough weekend.
02 · DMP awning vs. a pop-up canopy

An honest comparison.

A pop-up tent is inexpensive, packs small, and works anywhere. It's the right call if you don't run an enclosed trailer. But if you do, here's how the two stack up where it counts in the pits.

// A note on windLightweight pop-up canopies and spring-arm RV awnings are famously wind-shy: RV roll-up awnings are generally rated to only around 20 to 25 mph before they need to come in. A rigid, fixed-frame awning mounted to a loaded trailer is a fundamentally sturdier setup, though no awning should be left out in a storm. Use good judgment and take it down in severe weather.

06 · FAQ

Motocross awning questions.

The things riders and teams ask us most before they order.

How is this better than my pop-up canopy?+

A DMP awning mounts to the enclosed trailer you already haul and free-hangs 12 to 14 feet with no legs in your pit, so it deploys in minutes and never has to be staked or sandbagged. A rigid aluminum frame tied to a loaded rig also behaves nothing like a lightweight pop-up that catches wind like a sail, and it carries your sponsors in printed full color.

Will it hold up in the wind better than a tent?+

It's a fundamentally sturdier setup. A fixed-frame awning built from heavy aluminum and anchored to a loaded trailer isn't in the same category as a light pop-up or a spring-arm RV awning. Those RV roll-ups are generally rated to only around 20 to 25 mph. That said, no awning should ride out a storm; take it down in severe weather and use good judgment.

Does it fit my enclosed trailer?+

If your enclosed trailer has a clean edge to mount to, we can build an awning to fit it. Every awning is CNC-machined to your exact rig. See our enclosed cargo trailer awnings for how it mounts, and send us your measurements to confirm.

Can you print our team and sponsor graphics on it?+

Yes. That's a big reason teams come to us. We print full-color team and sponsor graphics directly into the awning fabric on our in-house large-format printers, so your branding reads clean from across the pits.

Do you ship to riders outside Minnesota?+

We build in Little Falls, MN and ship nationwide. Wherever you race, we can get an awning to you. Request a free quote and we'll handle the details.
