Not familiar with your tent, but having just had a quick google, to find a pic, and owning one of those very same tarps myself, my money's on a 100% positive result.

If and when you have the time, have a flick through some of these Tarp discussions, to give you some ideas.

Maybe not the exact same tent, but something like Billy106's set up below would be something like you're aiming for, I presume?




Hope you don't mind, Billy106!

As an alternative to the Vango Adventure Tarp, Sportsdirect have a Terra Nova Adventure Tarp for £25 at the moment. No pole and it's bit smaller, but 4000 rather than 3000mm HH. The Vango may also be a better colour match.

One of the great thing about tarps is that you can generally make them compatible with any tent with the judicial use of guy lines and poles.

Hi nzbred, I use the vango adventure tarp , on my tent is Sigma 300 version of Billy's and it is fab addition. I have used for many years and very versitile.   I have used it as a stand alone shelter to cook under and kitchen. I will be taking it with me to Scotland, would be using it on my Blacks constellation 2 series tent , Which has already has an extended porch area.

You might also want to have a look at the Gelert mini canopy which will work with your tent. I use one with my Vango Atlas.

The Vango Adventure Tarp is great... I use it with my Vango Sigmma 300+ and with my Vango Ark 400... its great and would recommend it. Easy to put up, on the elastic side of the tarp I use tarp clamps to keep it in place, just as a precaution on my side really...
