We bought a Marmot Halo 6 as we wanted lots of space in one big area, room to stand up, but low weight and quick pitching. However it has no porch or anything so we need some sort of shelter to cook in and maybe even sit in some evenings. What do people reckon? gazebo? Fishing shelter or something? Any recommendations? Again fairly light would be good.

Thanks.

A day tent sounds good. We have seperate utility tent used in the past for cooking and stashing the bikes in but not big enough to congregate in lol

I have seen Outwell day tent but Val or somebody will probably point you in the right direction. Gazebos aren't popular as they are hazardous when windy

A few examples to get the idea. I just googled 'day tents'. get a recognised brand though. Buying cheaply isn't necessarily effective. Vioce of experience there.
