We had a front porch for our first tent (gelert atlantis 5), it was elasticated around the lap over part and the flysheet part didn't seem long enough as had at least an inch gap from the ground all around.

With this in mind you may find a porch for a similar sized tent will work even if the height & width aren't exactly the same ie if height is more and width is less. If your not fussed about matching brand go outdoors have the hi gear sahara 6 porch for £29.97 and being only 5cm taller and 10cm wider so long as the connecting fabric is elasticated at the edge I would expect it to look a good fit once up.

For all those interested I have solved my Icarus 500 BLUE extension problem!!! There is a tent on the market so new it hasn't even got to the GO! Outdoors website yet but the extension for the Outwell Rockwell 5 is a perfect fit for the Icarus 500.
I know this because I got one of the staff at GO! to help me fit the Rockwell to the Vango in the showroom. Problem solved.

wondered if you could post a photo of the Outwell Rockwell 5 extension when attached to your blue icarus 500. Just before I buy one too!

Has anyone tried the woburn extension? is see its same height and only 10cm short in width so 5cm either side is awful close?

cheers, jamie

Quote: Originally posted by woofe on 26/2/2014I have been checking this out, it is the same height and not a lot of difference with the other dimensions. I rang OMS and asked if it would fit, the man said he was not allowed to confirm or deny the match for fear of possible comebacks!! I am following up a possible match. Watch this space.
