Anyone know of a porch that can have sides up or down so it can be a sunshade too?

Most porch awnings you can either take the sides and front off or roll them up/down/sideways in hot weather.

Well, you could on the 3 different ones I've had, anyway.

If you can't see the light at the end of the tunnel, just keep going till you go round the bend.

As has already been said,a good many(but by no means all)of the lightweight porch awnings will probably have the option of rolling up the front and maybe even the sides..

This type of thing for example..

Oops!..having re-read the OP,I'm now unsure if we're talking about a 'van or a tent porch?

I think that most awning makers have a combi type porch awing which have the sides and front zip out.

Thanks all, I'd forgot what a helpful forum this was.
However, I missed off an essential piece if info..........its for a tent! Its a tunnel so I'm confident most brands of side porch would fit (within reason). Not sure it exists, an alternative would be one with a v large rolable door.

Oh well!...at least now,if you're ever in need of a caravan or Mh awing,you'll know what to get!....

Posting in the "..Under Canvas" section and including your tent model,will probably be more fruitfull...

(..I just had a quick look on ebay,under "tunnel tent canopies" and that brought up quite a few ideas.. )

http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_nkw=tunnel+tent+canopy

Having said that,some cost twice what we had ever paid for a tent...
