Does anyone have any experience with Sun Canopies ie Are they any good? Poled or air canopies? Yes or No?
Thanks
I'm assuming this is for a caravan, yes?

XVI yes?
As well is two words!
How does a sage know everything about everything? or does he? or does he just think he does?

I have a really cheap gazebo made with steel poles, the center plastic connector broke when I tried to put it up. I've replaced the connector but have never wanted to put it up since. Unimpressed!

Enjoy the liveliness of the syntax.

I have a full length Isabella Eclipse with carbon-x poles and am chuffed to bits with it, really stable in windy weather too. Easy peasy to set up and remove so we tend not to use the Magnum now. I bought it second hand on Preloved at a good price as new are very expensive.

I use a Fiamma Caravanstore (with rafter). Bought this around 2006 before the grandchildren. Stopped using it when the grandchildren came for weekends at the caravan. Now they're older and have different interests we have returned to using it and used in France this year, much easier than an awning. In windy weather we just roll it in and wait for the wind to die down.

I've got a Sunncamp Swift 260 SC awning, they do an identical open fronted canopy. Only one 'hooped/arched' pole, consisting of telescopic steel pole each side and fibre roof pole, so light and easy to erect.
My awning has withstood a fair old battering in a storm, but suspect an open fronted canopy would not fair so well and would need taking down as risk of wind catching the open structure and lifting it, far more than the case with an entirely closed wall awning.
My awning can have the front wall rolled up or supported by poles as a canopy (poles are extra), so best of both worlds, awning AND sun canopy.
