Check out these Cabanon Etna ,atlantic ,and Pacific

I've seen those Rex, but they are not as good as the Goodall one, which was also sold under the Halfords brand name, in the late 60's.

Hi Bernie, interesting comment! In what way were the Goodall ones better - canvas, poles, design ....? Thanks. MT

They were a traditionally shaped frame tent similar to the Cabanon Pacific but with only one inner, and therefore only about 3 metres long.  There was a single window and a large door that lifted up to form a porch as with many modern tents.  Zip-on side walls were available for the porch.  The absence of a sun canopy made the tent highly resistant to wind.
