I have a pop up and brought a tarp, after much faffing about in too small a garden I came up with this idea, sort of back and top running along tent, with 3 poles two at front (imagine my dd's as a pole) and one at back about halfway down the length of the tent, the other back guy would just have to go across tent, as half tarp isnt wide enough.

I had tried the way showed with pop up tents but ours is much larger and we only have a overhang of about a foot, so it doesn't seem worth the effort.

So any advice, would it work or would it blow away in seconds, will have to look into how best to put the guys, but I don't have enough room at home, and the kids were fed up by this stage.

Obviously will be pegged out better than this lol

Oooh I like that tent too!! and yes thats sort of what we were trying to acheive, my brother Ray mears No.2 came around and sorted it for us, we can tie the back end to our tent and just have two poles at the front, was quite sturdy when he did it, might not be so good when I do it alone lmao.
