We have just returned from a fabulous weekend camping with our new Lichfield Mohawk tunnel tent. We are now looking for a canopy to attach to the tent to provide shade from the sun and protection, especially when cooking, from the rain.

Lichfield do not appear to supply their own canopy so is there a canopy out there that will fit onto my tent? I will be grateful for your advice.

Many thanks

outwell make a univeral side canopy

i know the fit on the picture isn't bery good but you can adjust the lean of it and such. and it is made to fit virtually any tunnel tent.

i believe sunncamp make one called the verano canopy which is virtually identical and so do vango with their tunnel canopy.

if you need a cheaper option, argos do a Coleman Tent Porch Awning which can fit almost any tent. it's pretty big but it is adjustable in hight etc and only £29.99

I'm looking for a 'universal' solution for our newly acquired Coleman Evolva. As it's a dome rather than a tunnel will these Outwell, Sunncamp and Vango universal's do the trick?

i believe they would as you just pull the guy lines over the tent and peg them in the ground. they don't attach to the actual tent, but you may have to put longer guy lines on the canopy though.

i think that the coleman classic awning maybe more compatible with the evolva though. it's available in a sand colour from argos if the blue's too bright.
