It's just a common or garden Vango large canopy - got mine from fleabay - it was a good price - I'll see if I can find it......................................
True, Christine but in England we don't often need much shade from the sun lol!! I tend to think of it as somewhere to sit outside and be a little more protected from the elements and still be nosey (hence te windows!!!)

gosh that's a great price, I wonder if it would fit my Utah, or even the old vango (though might not cos that's a vis-a-vis tent). Hmmm thank you for digging that out :)
I love the windows too - heck if it's *that* sunny then I will not be complaining about the windows!!
Vango make two types of canopy. One that fits the front door of a dome style tent and one that fits the side door of a tunnel or vis-a-vis style tent. The latter fits right over the tent and is anchored (guyed) down on the opposite side, whereas the former has an elasticated bit that fits over the porch pole and is guyed down either side.
We would have liked the tunnel tent one (and it would have fitted where the dome one didn't). However, I bought the dome one and 'amended' it myself because it has fibreglass poles so it was much smaller, lighter (and a bit cheaper) than the tunnel one. I wish they made the tunnel one the same way.
As can be seen by my photo the standard canopy is rather high for my tent and has little function with regards to extra space. It does give a little shade from the sun if the sun is shining from the side and I've not been able to test it yet but it should keep the rain from entering the open door...providing the rain doesn't run down the underside of the roof due to the slope.
I might have done better getting the two pole (large version) because I was really looking for a canopy to sit under in rainy weather. However, that one is higher still by another 20cm. Perhaps it would be easier and cheaper just to get a bigger tent with a large living area
We bought the vango large canopy to go with our nevada 4 it looks like bertie34 set up.It was very usefull as we went to wales and it poored down for 3 days non stop we cooked in it and sat in it, because we were in it alot it was nice to have the windows.
I think the new one has a door at the front so it is not open to the eliments.
We got it from ebay for £23 plus postage thefootwearwarehouse( 2770)
