I have an Aztec Hawk 3, which is a great little tent - 'little' being the word!  Am now finding a bit more space would be welcome but having searched around, can't seem to find a compatible awning/canopy with sides - even universal awnings seem much wider & I assume this would be a problem.  The Hawk is just 200cm wide at the front but almost 215cm high.  Any suggestions for possible matches would be gratefully received.  

Am trying to resist the temptation (and expense!) to start again with a new, bigger tent! 

Many thanks, Flea

To be perfectly honest I would sell the Hawk and get something like the Vango Icarus 500 there is a recent post on a good price match deal at go-outdoors or a used one from nearly new tents or tent spares man on Ebay

Thanks - I'm thinking you're probably right, a 5-person tent would be sensible, & any canopy not specifically designed to match wouldn't be ideal anyway.  Think I'm talking myself into a new tent - just feels a bit disloyal to the Hawk!
