Race Trailer Awning Sidewalls & Enclosures.
Custom sidewalls and full pit enclosures that turn an open DMP awning into a covered, private, weather-blocked work area — solid, printed, clear, and mesh panels that zip on when you want them and store in the bag when you don't. Built in-house in Little Falls, MN and shipped to racers nationwide.
Close it in when it counts.
Four good reasons to wall in a race trailer awning — and none of them cost you the open, leg-free work area when you'd rather run it open.
- Privacy on race day. Keep your setup, your spares, and your program out of a competitor's line of sight.
- Wind blocking. A wall cuts the crosswind that turns an open canopy into a sail and blows dust across your work.
- Weather protection. Solid panels shed rain and sun so your crew and your gear stay dry between rounds.
- A rolling billboard. Printed sidewalls put your sponsors front and center every time you set up in the pits.
Mix and match.
Your awning isn't one wall — it's a set of panels, and you decide what goes where. Run solid across the back for weather and privacy, a printed sponsor wall down the show side, a clear panel where you want light, and mesh where you want a breeze. Combine all four and you've got a full pit enclosure.
- Solid walls — full privacy, wind and weather blocking.
- Printed sponsor walls — your livery and logos, edge to edge, via in-house large-format printing.
- Clear / window panels — daylight and sight lines without opening up.
- Mesh / screen panels — airflow and shade while keeping the sun and bugs off.
How it goes together.
Panel guide.
Not sure which wall goes where? Here's the short version of what each panel type does best. Most rigs end up running a mix — and a full enclosure is simply all four working together.
| Panel type | Best for | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Solid wall | Privacy, wind & weather | The workhorse panel — blocks sight lines and sheds rain and sun. |
| Printed sponsor wall | Branding & presence | Solid panel with dye-sub graphics — a rolling billboard for your program. |
| Clear / window panel | Daylight & sight lines | See out and let light in without opening the enclosure to the weather. |
| Mesh / screen panel | Airflow & shade | Breeze and sun protection when it's hot and you don't need a full seal. |
Wall-in questions.
Can I add sidewalls to a DMP awning I already have?+
In most cases, yes — DMP walls are built to hang off the same frame and cover. Tell us the awning you're running and we'll spec panels to fit. Start a free quote with your details.
Can I mix solid, printed, clear, and mesh panels on one awning?+
That's the whole idea. Run a solid or printed wall where you want privacy and weather, a clear panel for daylight, and mesh for airflow — every rig gets a different mix. Combine all four and you've got a full pit enclosure.
Does DMP make roll-up or retractable RV awnings?+
No. DMP builds custom fixed-frame trailer awnings and the sidewalls that go with them. We don't sell, install, or service spring-arm RV roll-up or retractable awnings — if that's what you need, an RV dealer is the right call.
Will printed sponsor walls hold up trackside?+
Graphics are dye-sublimated into the fabric with our in-house large-format printing, so the color is part of the material — not a decal that peels. The panels use the same tough fabric as the awning cover.
How do the walls attach and store?+
Panels attach with a zip or keder-track connection for a tool-light setup and teardown, then roll into the one-piece storage bag that comes standard with the awning. For more on wind and weather, see our wind & weather guide.
