A tent is like a newborn born baby..... to some they all look the same..... but if its yours it's beautiful.

it actually attached to the main tent with elastic over the porch then it was really held up with the guy ropes. there was no Zip.

we stored everything oin the canopy, but on a night time we brought the outwell wardrobe in the tent as it is made of material and we didnt want it getting damp.

the coolbox was also in the tent but everything else was left in the canopy.

we loved the extra space, there was only 2 of us and the room we had was just right.

i just cant wait to go again now!!! lol

I have a picture in the gallery of my orchy with canopy.

In the sunner months we leave our cooking stuff in it over night, but at Easter we shoved it in the car boot...as I wanted the butane to work the next morning so kept the suitcase stoves wrapped up in the car...it worked..mainly as the sun was out I think!
