Hi,

Guess it doubles as an umbrella, yes ours fell down in the night a couple of times, but no damage. Pegs just pulled out of the ground. Better than than it being so secure that it got damaged. Keeps rain out, as somone said, a bit of shelter as you go out of the door, mostly the pool of water found its own way off.

My canopy was incuded but I would be interested to know if anyone purchased the side and front panels to got with it. We have only put them on once, took longer than putting the trailer up!

We had the canopy included when we got ours- to date have not used it, keep threatening to, but haven't got round to it. Like the sound of leaving zipped on.

By double guys do you mean 2 sets of different ones and do you use the pegs included or different??  - as you can tell, was not a tenter before got into tt's - so don't know much about guys..- ropes that is of course....before anyone starts!!

cheers..

Hi

i have the same problem with water pooling, but to be honest everywhere i have been this year its been that windy it doesnt stay on the sun canopy for long. I also purchased 2 side panels and now have the option of extending down both sides to escape the wind. Also the half height wind breakers that are attached to them gives the option of having any layout you require!

I agree..the sun canopy is brilliant, especially if you have the integrated windbreak.

We always have it up. Even in windy and raining situations. Needs strong guying, but worth every penny

How easy is it to erect the sun canopy and side panels? we bought a camp-let because we aren't much good at putting things together the right way! I did wonder if there were better non camp-let alternatives to the sun canopy? I have one of those square gazebo things that were all the rage a few years ago
