Hi JellyBabyRiot

We used the poles that came with the tarp at the front and borrowed a couple of poles from another tent which are slightly longer. However this was ok as it made a slight slope for the rain to run off.

I think its possible to buy seperate poles, tho not sure where from.

Hope this helps

thanks purple heather! they look taller against the evo 400's hight than i imagined, so that's good.

plus i have just remembered that i have some canopy poles from an old tent we no longer have, so might be able to use those.

and i know i've seen spare canopy/tarp poles being sold somewhere online, just incase.

Hiya,

Im also looking for a canopy for the evo 400. Dont like the actual suncamp ones because as others have said, its tiny for such a large amount of money!

Does anyone know if the Wynnster Sun Canopy(made for Raven 8) would fit onto the evo 400? Its the perfect size im looking for and would be within my price range! Just dont know how canopys attach to begin with so a bit of help would be great please??

Hi,

Just got back from a very successful holiday with our Evolution 400.  We decided the new Sunncamp canopy for this tent was over priced and didn't meet our needs, to provide shelter to stop the rain getting in the door and to give extra space for cooking.  Looking on e bay I found a vango large canopy (with windows) for just over £20 new.  It was brillant, fitted quite well enough room for table and cooker and kept the rain off the door. Much cheaper and loads of space.
