Hi everyone, long time lurker first time poster :)

We currently have a Gelert Quickpitch DS4 Tent and I am looking for some sort of extension/shelter/porch to attach to it to give us a little more room for storage and a place for sheltered cooking if its raining.

I am looking for advice and ideas on what would fit our tent.
So far I have come up with a few options:

1) A Vango Adventure Tarp
I think I could make this work with our tent even though its not a Vango Tent. It would give us an area of shelter outside of the tent for cooking if the weathers bad but wouldnt provide anywhere secure to store things.

2) Windbreak with canopy
This may also work and has the added benefit of having sides. I would position this round one of the two doors on our tent.

3) Modify an existing extension designed for another tent which gives us storage, shelter and a cooking area.

Some may say just buy a different tent but we havent had this one long and havent been away in it yet, first use will be at the start of August

So ayone have any ideas?

Thanks
Rich

I have a windbreak with canopy and have found it to be excellent. We set the stove up under it to cook and also sit under it when we eat.
LAst year we were sheltering under it in the pouring rain having a Chinese takeaway! Everyone else on site must have thought we were mad but we stayed nice and dry.

I got mine from Aldi or Lidl (never remember which !) and I think it cost about £8 - I was so impressed that I bought another one and now have 2!
