If you speak to your friendly tent repair company they will make you a bag to match your specifications such as size material, handles, zips etc. I had one made that had a few pockets on the sides to take items such as spare clingons, spare guy ropes, peg puller and hammer as it saves me from forgetting the little essentials when grabbing the gear for a quick night away.

Vango and outwell do roller tent bags with a large upper compartment and smaller lower, you get small medium and large. I fit a whole Cabanon Athena in the vango large bag except the poles, saved on 5 different bags needing space.

I think they are really good - I have two large awning bags - one for the trailer tent awning, the other for the cabin fabric for winter storage. I also have their large heavy duty pole bag.

Hi Dave. How tough are the heavy duty bags? I want a bag to put my woodburning stove in for travelling, but it's got some sharp metal edges and has torn through a rubble bag already.

The heavy duty bags are made of the same stuff as soft suitcase material. Certainly I have had no problem with the pole bag, which in my case is full of sharp heavy steel poles. I would give them a call.

Isabella awning bags are really good and not too expensive. The good thing is they can be folded down really small when not in use, so you don't have to worry about where to store them when you've set up camp.
The pole bags are good too.

P.S. Forgot to mention, they open almost fully with a good zip, so you can just roll the tent in and then zip it up - so much easier than trying to make a sausage shape and then force it into a long thin bag!
Same with the pole bags - top loading. I use them for all our tents, even the frame tents will fit into the large size Isabella bags.
