Hiya . I have purchased a karakum pop up tent think is an outwell one . I was wondering if anyone knew of any small tarp or canopy set ups that would shield the front a bit . When it rains and you open the zip you get soaking . It is only my one nighter tent when I dont have hubby to build the family tent for me so dont want to spend a lot but have tried to pin a ground sheet over the front without much luck .

Thankyou .

Check out the Khyam Atrium, it "should" work with a pop up tent.

I got one for my Freelander which is a dome in the front, and have not worked out how to fit it to prevent being soaked every time I open the door.

Would a vango adventure tarp work? They designed for their small dome tents, you can also use a walking stick or other pole on the bit that goes over the tent.
