We had the outwell indianna 8 for a while which had The same canopy style. I made sides for it and I was very suprised at how much of a difference it made.

Aha, yes my shiney new poles.

Bear in mind I broke 4 last October, spent 100quid on new ones.Well I broke another one 2 weeks ago in the Foreset of Dean, so Im pretty relieved with the purchase to be honest.

Be good to find a flysheet though, get the scissors out!

How did you make your sides: from clear plastic, canvas or tarp material? Just curious as I've fantasised about doing this to our Cabanon canopy. Any tips gratefully received.

PS sorry for posting on a BL6 post but I do fancy one of these myself so an owner in spirit if not in fact.

Hi

I just bought some ripstop polyester and made a couple of panels the same size as the gap and sewed them onto the canopy.

Should be easy enough to do with canvas or an outwell windbreak (to match the bear lake).

As long as you keep the bottoms pegged down, and the sides attached to the poles (I made ties, but a sleeve to put the pole through would work well) , it's a pretty good cover.

I hope it works out for you. Glad I can help out...

My suggestion for the Bear lake would be exactly the same cover, but using a windbreak and extending the clear plastic as windows, utilising the canopy over the top. if you were good with a sewing machine, just attach the top of the windbreak onto the edge of the canopy, attach a few ties to the poles and Voilla, a Bear lake extension!
