Unbelievable! I've got a guadeloupe and was thinking about getting a tarp to extend the front. Found the tarp you have last night then see this thread just now. Looks very good!

Campfairy, you have inspired me to go for it!

          Have to say, Obelink were fab, great service from them, confirmation e-mails,

          tracking number, was very impressed.

          The tarp is lovely, not canvas but a light weight cotton, lots of eyelets,

          reinforced with webbing, two spring-linked poles, guys, pegs and a bag.

          Am very pleased with it, would deff recomend.

Cheers Campfairy and Helen, feels a bit cheeky hijacking a thread like this, but I suppose it's all good!

I'll get on to ordering one soon.

another vote for Obelink tarp - not expensive, nice and light. 150gm cotton not heavy Canvas but super useful, we use ours in the garden a lot instead of a gazebo

if you want something heavier, though dearer, greenoutdoors do a beauty shaped like a holly leaf

here

proper heavy canvas square ones seem to be very pricey, I think ESVO had the best prices when I was looking, though I didnt look that hard as I was happy wth Obelink

Thank you everyone - I haven't been able to log in for your great tips as have had no pc while son is away = have to borrow his laptop while waiting to replace the home pc. As soon as the foul storm that is battering the west country has passed i'll pitch and post photos.

Cheers!!!
