We have a Gellert tunnel tent to which we attach an Outwell front awning. What I want to do is to put sewn on sides on the awning (it really is just a roof cover) to provide more shelter.

Where can I get tent weight 'nylon' fabric for the job? Is it something a sailmaker could do?

I searched for this last year and eventually found some on line, but never got around to ordering any. unfortunately I never book marked it.


Just had a quick search and found this site I got there from this link page

was the one I found last time.

I did just this with an old tent we had last year. I bought some ripstop nylon from ebay for about £12 for 10m in silver/grey and it worked a treat. just sewed it along the top, and made ties down the sides so you can tie it up when you dont need the sides if it's not raining.

Worth doing as it extends your living area.

have a look here.
