I'm sure I've seen somewhere on these posts that it does fit. Check out the Tent Info threads and have a look through the posts about the various porches- think you'll find it amongst those.

Yes, Both doors have flyscreens,  All vents have flyscreens, Bedrooms have flyscreens.

Yes, Horizon porch and/or canopy fits perfectly. 

If you're buyiing a Meridian to match your existing canopy, the new Meridians are coloured differently.  The blue has gone to a bright "vibrant" colour.

The Hi-Gear Kalahari is actually a better colour match to your old canopy.

The Kalahari is an exact clone of the Meridian except for the declared Hydrostatic Head.  You may find you can pick one up a lot cheaper than the Gelert.

Hi, I see you are all gelert owners, we've just bought a gelert quebec 8+4 as total newbies, would these porches fit our one as well or is it just the meridian? Thanks.

They'll fit ok.

All of these will:
Gelert Meridian 8 or 10
Gelert Horizon 6 or 8
Gelert Corvus 6+2 Porch (NOT Canopy)
Hi-Gear Kalahari 8 or 10
Hi-Gear Zenobia 6

These are a bit similar but maybe not so deep:
Khyam Kansas Sun Porch
Khyam Ontario/Quebec Sun Porch
Sunncamp Verano DL Canopy

This one is worth considering as I think it looks more robust to the wind:
Royal Atlanta 6, 8 & Hampton 4 Extension.

I went on about these in another post "Porch for Gelert Meridian 8 (2008)"
