Hi All

I have a wonderful Khyam gazebo about 3m x 3m that I use as a kitchen tent come living area. It is easy to erect and very stable however being a canvas snob I was wodering if i could get a similar space but in canvas. I would give up the easy to erect part.

I am prepared to buy an old Cabanon for example and not use the bedrooms - any one has any ideas?

Cheers

Mark was thinking of buyin

I think buying an old frame tent probably is the best route to go. I am wanting to adjust my Relum canaria 3k to make a porch for my bell tent but not sure the colours will go well (apple green bell tent & retro orange & brown frame tent) so will see if I can use it as a utility tent for no/low extra charge on the first use of the bell tent.

I'm sure an old frame tent is the way to go.

I'm keen to know if anyone has a specific model tent that is fit for purpose?

All suggestions gratefully received

Our first tent (30+ years ago) was a Cabanon Eva which has a footprint of 3.5m x 2.1m so smaller than your gazebo but I would have thought ideal for what you need.  Fetching chocolate and cream colourway with those gaudy orange/brown etc flowery curtains.

It's still in the garage but sentimentality prevents a sale.

I've got the opposite problem-I have a canvas tent and I want a canopy for it,can't find any info on the tent to see if there ever was a canopy made for it...might need to start a new post to see if anyone knows,Hope you find what you are looking for.
