Arb vs smittybilt awning.
The smittybilt awning is designed to be mounted in several differ ways depending on the type of equipment your vehicle has.
Slide the bolt head i nto the channels on the back of the awning.
After washing and rinsing both awnings the arb was quite wet where water had penetrated the stitching.
So far there has been no difference in durability but i d certainly trust the metal to be stronger especially in cold temperatures.

The arb uses plastic while the smittybilt is metal.
Providing a comfortable living space when off roading or camping is paramount to enjoying those times away with family and friends the arb mesh multi mat comes with zinc coated preset eyelets to fit the arb 2500mm awning and 2000mm awning.
You may need to purchase your own hardware on some set ups.
