Bought a tent last year. Had a lovely summer in the tent and wanted to get a conpy to add a little space for shoes body boards etc.
At the end of the summer Go Outdoors were out of stock due to be re-supplied this year... however have since found out it has discontinued the range.Dimensions are H210 width 320
I would be grateful if anyone has any recommendations of cheapish alternatives?

We had the same problem but decided to give a high gear Sahara canopy a go mainly because it was the same colour and £29.99. It's 345 wide and although took a bit of fiddling and more than the usual divorce/pitching banter we got it to work glad very we did a garden practice pitch. Just spent 5 days away and loved the extra space, so much we decided we need a bigger tent!

Hi I just brought a outwell Rockwell 5 canopy for my rock 5 and it fitted
A treat we have just spent the weekend away in it and was lovely to have the extra space, it also withheld a rather windy and wet day really well. They are on offer at moment at Go outdoors.

Hi, Did you find a solution? I'm new to camping and I have the same problem. Also if you see this Reido, from your response above what did you have to do to get the Sahara porch to fit. Thanks in advance.

Hiya. I think you might struggle unless you’re prepared to pay silly prices when one comes up on eBay. I tried the Sahara 6 canopy. It’s a reasonable fit. It’s not quite as tall as the tent so it’s not a perfect fit at the join, there’s a bit of a gap at the bottom, and I had to attach it with clips. That said it was ok and huge. I also bought the Corado 4 canopy on clearance as that looked to be roughly the right size but I haven’t tried it yet. And it’s green. Neither have the right fittings to connect to the tent but the clips I used do an ok job.
