We have just returned from our annual weekly camp, first time that we have used our Royal Rimini for an entire week. Had a great time and all really pleased with the Rimini. But as there are six of us, two adults and four children ranging from 1 year old to eight years old, space  is very important, as usual we used the old garden gazebo but we were hopeing that we could get hold of a canopy or porch for the Rimini.

Does any one know if there is a Canopy or Porch available for the Royal?

Other manufacturers do a very similar frame tent with porches, would these fit our Rimini ?

Can any one else other any further ideas to extra sheltered space ?

All comments and feedback would be very appreciated.

I believe the Rimini has a stub canopy with a little bit of 'drop-down edge', if you know what I mean. To attach a canopy you would have to be able to fold that edge back.

Does the stub canopy have three little poles which fit onto the main roof poles with button springs? If so, then you can probably get a canopy which is made to fit another tent, but you would have to make sure that the poles for the canopy are the same diameter as your roof poles. It doesn't really matter if the canopy or the pole which supports the front of the canopy are wider, as you could cut these down easily enough.

If you can't get a proper canopy kit, you could always buy a length of canvas, hem it to double thickness around the edges, fit three ties across the back to tie onto your roof poles, and two eyelets in the front corners to put the points of standard canopy poles through, then guy them well to the front & side. This wouldn't be quite so professional, but it would probably serve the purpose. 

Thanks Jean

You are correct the Rimini does have a stud canopy and your idea of making a canopy is a good idea that we hadn't thought off.

Thanks for your feedback it is greatly appreciated.
