# Which bracket is required for my awning?

**Which bracket is required for my awning?**

With so many awning and roof-rack systems available, choosing the correct bracket is crucial for safe and stable installation and use. We have created this simple guide to help narrow down the suitable options.

**For Pull-Out Awnings:**
Whether you are mounting your awning to a platform or crossbars, we recommend utilising an L-bracket. These will come with all, if not most, pull-out awnings.
We recommend mounting this bracket to your crossbars or platform with our [__universal awning bolt kit__](https://www.roofracksgalore.com.au/awning-bolt-kit). Otherwise if you are looking for a quick release mounting kit, we recommend Rhino Rack’s Stow It system, this will require their [__base kit__](https://www.roofracksgalore.com.au/rhino-rack-stow-it-base-bracket-ssit2) and [__awning adaptor__](https://www.roofracksgalore.com.au/rhino-rack-stow-it-awning-adaptor-bsit), this is a great universal fitment, as the base kit can be used for other accessories such as lightbars and shovel holders.

**For 180° or 270° Awnings:**
If you are looking to mount a 180 or 270 awning, you will need to pair this with a bracket that can support the weight.

The most popular options when it comes to suitable awning brackets are the Darche & Kaon 180/270 awning brackets, which are available in the following options:
[__Long fixed position bracket __](https://www.roofracksgalore.com.au/darche-eclipse-270-180-long-l-bracket-t050801751b-dart050801751b)- these provide extra support, and the ability to mount across two north-to-south platform slats or extra stability for east-to-west platform slats.
Adjustable[ positio](https://www.roofracksgalore.com.au/darche-eclipse-270-180-long-bracket-adjustable-t050801753)n brackets: [__Darche adjustable bracket__](https://www.roofracksgalore.com.au/darche-eclipse-270-180-long-bracket-adjustable-t050801753) or [__Kaon 270__](https://www.roofracksgalore.com.au/catalogsearch/result/?q=Kaon%20270) brackets - these are a popular choice if you require vertical adjustment or easier fit under low ceilings: Darche adjustable brackets or Kaon’s 270‑bracket kits allow fine-tuned positioning and even weight distribution. The required bracket will vary depending on your platform, or crossbars.
