i like the coleman one that looks good, blends in well too.
what model of coleman canopy is that? can't seem to find one on google..
also is it easy enough to fit to the tent? how much longer to put it on?
It's called a Coleman Classic Awning.
Mine was £20 and I bought it three(??) years back. I don't think they make it in blue any more, just green. It's one the argos catalogue this year I think.
You don't fit it to the tent though. You fit it over the tent. It's not attached to the tent per se. It takes about ten minutes with two people. If it's windy, don't bother even trying. It's nearly 5m x 5m and makes a great kite!! It's not designed for use in high winds and there's only seven weedy little pegs supplied with it. Take some spare guylines, Clingons and Delta pegs with you to make it more secure when it's on. None of the add-on canopies are designed for extreme weather conditions though, so don't feel it's necessarily a design fault in the Coleman.
Good overlap though, very adaptable and packs up small.
