I collect it with all the modifications I mentioned in my previous post tomorrow. It will be used the weekend after next for a 3 night stay in Lincolnshire. I will take piccies of it then and post them so that the modifications can be seen.

If anyone is interested in one of these I can put them in touch with the supplier who will be pleased to make you one to your own size requirements with detachable front and sides if necessary.

Email me at my user name at o2.co.uk and I'll reply with contact details for the supplier.

Erection successfully completed. Final modifications incorporated (scrap copper pipe replace with fibre pole kit). Eyes fitted to poles so can be fastened to ground using tent peg.

Pictures to follow shortly. I'll probably just replace the ones on my profile of the original.

Just tried uploading the new piccies to my profile but to no avail it won't overwrite the ones I previously posted so I've failed.

If anyone wants pics I'll email them on request. Just email my at this username at o2.co.uk

Tried sunshade in anger over this weekend. It was fairly windy which it coped with well.

Tension in canopy down to guy ropes but problem was that the bit that goes in the awning channel is prone to slip along the channel as you tighten the guys on the side poles.

Will try again with a couple of those funny little round captive nuts that are used to keep some commercial 'stay in the awning channel' models still.

Next try weekend after next somewhere in Yorkshire.
