It may be a different colour, but this is the best porch in my opinion. The Kalahari is identicle to the Meridian. The Gelert porch is open fronted with no door. Good Luck
Just bought a beyond meridian 10 with a corvus porch - had a practise run at putting it up in the garden before we go to France, and the only way we could get a snug fit between tent and porch was if we positioned the porch so that it covered half the tent window as well (not a disaster, but somewhat inconvenient for opening/closing the window!) - anyone had similar trouble or got any tips please?? Thanks :-)
We have the meridian canopy on one side of our Meridian 10 and the corvus porch on the other. They fit well together, although both obstruct the window.. Only downside is the straps that go over the tent: if you tighten them to reduce wind tunnel effect and get a snug fit to the tent, they tend to exert downward pressure on the tent frame and make indoors a few inches lower for tall people like myself.
We also bought some Kampa Easylock interlocking flooring squares for the porch. These are ideal- they keep everything off the ground, but have holes in them to allow any rain etc to run through and help prevent killing the grass underneath. Really help stop mud coming in the tent.
I've got the "Hi-Gear Kalahari 10" blue tunnel tent with a "Sunncamp Verano" blue side porch (which I brought when I had Gelert Horizon 6), it fits OK and is about the same size as the Kalahari/Meridian 10 side porch, the big difference being that the Kalahari/Meridian side porch has windows, allowing it to be a bit brighter inside, the problem now being is that currently they are made in green ????? and as yet I've not been able to locate a blue Kalahari 10 BLUE porch at the right price, they are in short supply (private ONLY) and mega bucks !!!

Hi KampaWendy, no it doesn't have to be a meridian 10, it could be a Kalahari 8 or 10 it's the same, the problem is, is it a BLUE or GREEN, that the problem !!!!! it would seem that the the blue units are now put on hold, so only green are available
cheers

Oh yes just realised this is thread 4 years old .
Wasnt the Meridian a different Colour Blue to the Kalahari. I bought my Blue one off Ebay and sold it on Ebay that was a couple of years ago when they were still being made and then it went for over £100 Gelert/HiGear products are cheap compared some other brands
