Canopies or porches, as they can be known, are very popular for many people who like to use them for storing shoes and wellies and for cooking in.

There's some examples in the 'show us your tent pics' thread which is stickied at the top of this forum.

hi murdo

i have been looking at this for my khyam tourer 400, but it's difficult to know what it fits as there are no sizes.

The Khyam Atrium is designed to fit tents with a curved front pole where the door is, like the one on the Khyam Igloo and Highlander etc...

It will not fit a Freelander, as I have found out myself. However, I am keeping mine as I have a small Vango tent that does have a curved front pole.

It does provide a decent amount of covered space underneath.

It is designed to fit various heights of front pole.

Personally, if I had a Igloo or Highlander, I would get one to provide extra living space.

It might be worth looking at other brands of porches and their dimensions and compare them with the dimensions of your tent. Some are designed to fit on the side door of a tunnel, and some on the front. Sometimes a porch can do both.

The Vango Universal Canopy is about £35 on an ebay shop called 'nearly new tents' and then theres the Vango Premium Extension which is double the price but has the benefit of a door, which means you probably won't need to close the door of your own tent.
