Magnesia Outdoor Sports’ Expert Take: The Instant Porch for Barn Door Vans
Most campervan canopies are built for tailgates, leaving barn-door owners in the rain. The OLPRO Barn Door Canopy is the specialist solution. It uses an clever telescopic aluminum pole that bridges the gap between the doors, creating a rigid, wind-resistant structure in just 5 minutes. The 600D Oxford Polyester is incredibly tough—far heavier than standard tent fabric—and the 5000mm waterproof rating ensures you can cook or relax out the back regardless of the weather.
We love that it’s compatible with vans featuring spoilers, a common issue with other rear awnings. It’s a minimalist, high-performance upgrade for the VW T5/T6 enthusiast.

Designed specifically for VW T5/T6 Campervans with barn doors, this innovative awning offers quick and easy shelter in just 5 minutes. Perfect for those who don’t have a tailgate, the campervan canopy provides that extra bit of space for relaxing, enjoying the outdoor views and doing some outdoor cooking.
The easy pitch, waterproof and wind resistant structure features one telescopic pole system that securely attaches to the top locking mechanism of the barn doors. Made from 600D Oxford Polyester material that has a waterproof rating of 5000 H/H, meaning it is very waterproof and can hold a 5 metre column of water on it before it would begin to show signs of water ingress.

2. Tighten the awning around the rubber door seal by looping the two webbing straps under the door hinges.
3. Once secured, pass the awning over the tops of the doors and the pole, then fasten the bungee cords with plastic balls through the lower door latches. Finally, secure the awning tightly around the pole using the Velcro tabs.
