Canopy is ace!  If you do a search on here, you will find some previous threads and pictures.  One end of it is elasticated and clips on to the front doorway of the tent.  The rest of it pegs out in front.  Don't even think about not buying it - it really is great.

Go to www.dpbolvw.net/click-1428744-10475506?url=http://www.outdoormegastore.co.uk and use the Quick Search function to locate the canopy within the site - excellent picture and product description - well, I would say that, I work there!

The canopy fits over the front door canopy with pole clips. We did find in windy conditions this came off. Added a few extra pole clips and didn't have any more trouble. Also added an extra guy to the front, this again keeps it stable in windy weather. Very useful part of our kit, we would not be without it.

Hi oor wullie

Have a look at my gallery pics.  The canopy is excellent and gives a huge eating area.

Cheers

Taken with a fone so not the clearest but hope they help.

First shows the elasticated band over the steel porch pole with clips to hold it in place to the the other poles, if you use all the pegging points along the bottom it does stay in place,however,



it does tend to sway from side to side on the front edge with a cross wind so I have added an extra guy to the existing guy points,this allows one to go straight out to keep the tension on the tunnel & one to the side to keep in from swaying. A bit disappointed they havent improved this problem this year but it is easily got round.



The only thing we are now waiting for is a zip up porch front.

Hope this is useful, also there is a picture showing the size of the addition in my gallery.

( Afterthought)

If you are camping near the sea or in a valley where the wind is predominantly from one direction, dont face the porch into it,it will become a wind tunnel
