Hi, I've just scored an Athena from ebay but it has no curtains, ground sheet, roof lining nor awning.
Does anyone know where I can buy these or how I can make them, the measurements for lining curtains or groundsheet, what fabrics, what poles for awning what curtain rings for curtains, size of windows, etc?
I see lots of people say the aruba is the same but I can't find much info on that tent, either.
Any advice gratefully received,

The Athena, as with all Cabanon traditional frame tents, didn't include a groundsheet or 'awning' (sun canopy?) as standard. Any tarp or groundsheet will do, just decide if you want to cover just the living area or under the bedroom inners as well (to keep their bases clean and undamaged).

The roof liner isn't strictly necessary, it just finishes it off a bit more nicely and can potentially add a bit of insulation. You could make this from a polycotton bedsheet(s), just get hold of some plastic clips to fasten it up. For the curtains, it might be worth getting hold of some caravan awning curtains then changing the runners.
