Hello,

Can anyone help please?  We have a Vango Columbia 600, which we love, but would like a porch/canopy to fit.  I have emailed Vango and they say that none of their canopies would fit our tent.  Does anyone out there know of a canopy that would fit, I don't care about the colour or make I just want a canopy!

Many thanks in anticipation

I think the front canopy off our tent may fit, or maybe a Salinas L canopy or awning.

Hi,

We have a Maritsa 700 320cm wide. We use an Aztec Mardi Gra 5 Canopy and fits very well.Pics on tent reviews. We got it from Outdoor World in Warrington.

Hope this helps.

The Columbia 600 is 445cm wide not 335cm or 320cm. If its the front canopy youre after the "Vango wide canopy" will fit they sometimes turn up on Ebay it is also called the "Sungari 600 canopy".

Hi Just found this discussion on canopies and particularly Paul and Gill's comments about the Aztec Mardi Gras 5 canopy fitting their 2011 Maritsa 700 tent. We have just bought a martisa 700 this year and having just comeback from a wet camping trip would like to get a canopy to protect from rain. I think the porch on the 2012 model of the maritsa 700 might be slightly higher  than the 2011 version (215cm rather than 200) and wondered whether the Aztec would still be OK or does anyone have other suggestions?

Mike

As arsenaldes has said - the old Vango Wide Canopy or the Sungari 600 canopy will fit the Columbia 600. Alternatively, we use the small Vango Adventure Tarp with a set of longer guys and the tent's own porch poles plus one from an old tent. Don't bother with a canopy for our Columbia. The elasticated rear edge of the tarp is about 30cm longer than the roof pole of the Columbia 600 so extends a little down each side of the front pole. Works a treat and can be offset to one side to add extra cover when just the door is open.

Love our set-up and need no more tents or gear, so trying to stop looking!
