We have Gelert Horizon 6 porch for that tent when it was green, few years ago. Still available in colours.

Love my tent.

What are the reviews saying?

I don't think the is anything wrong with the Zenobia porch. It fits the tent well and does the job. We are pitched in the isle of wight at the moment and there is one pitched opposite us that has stood up to the high winds we have been having

thank you all will look into the vango and the gelert allthough i think the gelert might have the same probs as the hi gear the reviews are saying that the porch does not sit snuggly onto the tent so that there is a gap where rain comes in and also most worring as we have a toddler is that it does not reach the floor..tonyb21 looks like you are in the ideal place does it touch the floor ?????

kind regards kevin + 5

We used to have a zenobia and porch and whilst it wasn't a tight fit against the tent, we thought it was great! The extra space it gives you is worth it.

No it doesn't, quite touch the floor but I think it's ok. I don't think a toddler would get underneath it. We have a similar porch on our Lakesbury 5 and it works well. The Outwell pooches have a skirt on them but they can get very dirty in wet weather - which is why our bear lake front extention is drying in our conservatory as we speak!!
