- Take a closer look at the @STITCHES + STEEL Universal Awning Rail
For all your awning attaching needs, the only rail you should need, for any van, including a T5 - T6 (in theory).
We've worked hard and close to home with a UK based manufacturer spec sheet for this one to create an over-engineered, strong and well-made universal piece of kit with a considered and thought out approach to production, application, packaging and shipping.
This is our STITCHES + STEEL Universal Awning Rail. We've developed this one to pretty much fit on anything- fitting all of our products and the majority of others too. We've thought long and hard about the size of the C section, the diameter of the jaws, the beading that runs through the section, the foot size for mounting it and the sections length for shipping and ease of fitting.
The rail is designed for 'car derived vans,' 'short wheel base vans', 'long wheel base vans' and 'motor homes,' working with most roof racks, roof bars and pop tops. The rail can be stuck, screwed, bolted or glued into place, we’ve had great results using all depending on the application.
We recommend you fasten all sections down with screws (at least two on each section, or better still, the factory bolts on the roof of your van). This Awning rail is designed to go with all STITCHES + STEEL awnings and products taking bolt rope (or kador strip) sizes from 6.5mm to 10mm. (the jaws of the C section are deliberately narrow meaning it can usually take smaller rail strips without being pulled out too).

Awesome video guys, couldn't be any clearer, thanks..
Ordered mine on Saturday for my T4, great video guys
Great information and demo. Shocking camera work, felt seasick several times during it.
Wait what....
At the middle bolt.. Why would you not drill a hole, THEN cut the rail i half, in the middle of the hole. Rails will fit perfect together them.
Agree
Think I'm going to have to get one for my LT28!
Great quality rails.....I bought a set for my Defender 90.
Min 8:18 ...They do Rails for DUCATIs ???
:D
hello, is it possible to order in france?
Where you have joined the pieces, there is a definite leak probability. You need to take much more care to seal those bolt holes.
Hey Neil, Thanks so much for your comment!
We've fitted a fair few dozen of these and have yet to have issues with Leakage, but we fully appreciate your input :)
All the best, S+S
I'm lazy and it's dark... Will this fit on a Ford Transit Custom L1H1 2020?
Hey Justin,
Thanks so much for reaching out! No worries at all, We consider this rails to be pretty universal and have heard customers use these on other models of van with great success! While the fitting may not follow the EXACT same process when mounting this to your Transit, but the principle will be similar! I hope this helps, let us know if you have any other questions at all! All the best, Team S+S
Mistake bro on video, 3 screws to a rail will be? 🙈✌️
It’s good gear too I’m enjoying mine 👌
Hey Robbie,
Thanks for getting in touch! Ah.. whoops! Thanks for letting us know, honest mistake!
Glad you are enjoying your rail dude, look forward to hearing from you again soon.
All the best, Team S+S
All looks great until you visit the homepage and find that this is yet another UK company that won't ship overseas.
Hi, do you ship to France ?
Will this rail fit onto a 1995 Ford Duetto high top van
Hey Jane!
We've not had the pleasure of working with a 1995 Ford Duetto, but there is no stand out reason why this wouldn't work out for you! :)
I fell into the trap of buying 1 instead of 3 thinking it was a kit. Had to go to a caravan shop and get a 3m length of similar stuff. Anyone wanna buy 1 piece of rail?
Can i fit this to a vwt6 with a pop up roof.
You'll need to go for the Multirail with a pop top setup, I'll pop the link below for ya!

Evening fellas, what's possible for mazda bongo pop top
Depends somewhat on your roof, but I have one fitted to my T6 with Skyline roof.
I went to fit these to my T5 yesterday and couldn't see how they'd go together using the existing rail holes. Seems like a lot of grief to be cutting holes into the aluminium - couldn't Stitches and Steel make a product that is bespoke to each vehicle? I don't think the consumer should be trimming aluminium strips and lining up holes. A one-piece rail with predrilled holes would be a much simpler and more beneficial product IMO.
Heya Chris,
Thanks so much for getting in touch!
Gutted to hear you had a bit of a job with these rails mate. We do actually already make a pre-drilled version of these rails that are available to buy on our website. I'll pop the link below for you, sorry you missed it first time around!
