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.
Ditch the 10×10.
A pop-up canopy is fine until the wind, the crowd, or a full moto weekend tests it. Here's what a fixed-frame awning buys you.
- Free-hanging 12–14 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.
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.
| In the pits | DMP trailer awning | Pop-up canopy |
|---|---|---|
| Setup | Deploys off the trailer in minutes | Unfold, raise, stake, sandbag |
| Wind behavior | Rigid frame tied to a loaded rig | Light and prone to catching wind |
| Coverage | 12–14 ft free-hanging, open pit | Legs in your work area |
| Durability | Heavy aluminum, built for seasons | Bent frames, torn tops over time |
| Branding | Sponsors printed into the fabric | Stick-on or screen-print add-ons |

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 12–14 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 20–25 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.
