Hi, first time poster and very new to camping. We have recently returned from our first camping trip and really enjoyed it but whilst there we started to note down some of the things that would make life a little easier. One of the main things was a porch or canopy. We bought our tent a couple of years ago from GoOutdoors (it is a Hi-Gear Kalahari 8 Eclipse) which they no longer stock. Would anyone be able to suggest a suitable porch that would fit the tent (preferably colour matching)?

I have looked on the usual websites but I’m not entirely sure whether they will fit or not.

Thanks in advance

What about a tarp? Lots in the market. Use one or two king poles and secure with guy lines. They can be configured to suit your set up. Give you a cooking place or a shelter at the entrance to your tent and may be cheaper than buying an entrance.

Thanks for that, we have looked at that as an option but we like the extra storage option a porch would offer.
