Does anyone have or know where I can get a front canopy for a Vango Albany 4? I don't think the tent is made anymore, but wonder ir there is another Vango one which would fit?

HI

I've had a look at the Vango Canopies. Your tent is 260cm wide and 195cm high at the front going by one for sale on ebay at the moment. The closest Vango canopy is the wide canopy, but it is 30cm wider, which will leave a big gap around the tent and if you gather it around the tent, you will have excess fabric. I have also had a look at Vango's new tents and they are either bigger or considerable smaller.

We use the Vango Adventure Tarp for both our small and large tent with the addition of longer guyropes and the use of the tent's porch poles. Its elasticated end is 260cm wide so it should come some way down the sides of the tent, but won't reach the ground. It will give you some shelter from the rain, but obviously not full sides. You could also look at Kyham's Atrium which is adjustable, hoop shaped and also fits behind the front pole of the tent. Your tent is somewhat higher than it is intended for but it may work (ask for opinions). Alternatively, have a look at other makes and compare your measurements with those of other tents and find out what canopy that make has for the corresponding tent... I'm afraid it may take some browsing....

Hi Siany

Had another look for you - just in case I missed something. Bingo!!! 

I've hit on something that looks like it would work for you - the 2010 canopy for the new Vango Artemis 400. The dimensions are correct: 195cm high and 260cm wide. Have a look:
