Hi

We (family of 5) had a week away in Somerset last year where it rained almost everyday. We struggled with drying and cooking in damp conditions so thought for this year a sun (ha ha) canopy might help but we have not had any luck (as the Nadia is quite old) finding one.

Does any one have any experience attaching a tarp to the front of a 4m wide Cabanon tent or where we could source a similar Cabanon Canopy which would fit it?

Many Thanks

I cant see you having a problem using a tarp at the front of your cabanon it would work but wont be as good as the cabanon canopy

how handy are you do you fancy having a go at making a diy canopy to fit your tent ?

maybe depends how posh you want your canopy to look

I have a sun canopy off a lichfield vermont that has adjustable poles, now the two upright poles have been robbed for somthing else but are easily replaced with a pair of king poles 

if you were intereted you could have the poles that will give you the apex shape add two king poles and sew up a canopy to fit your tent

 

 

it also has a navy blue canvas canopy with it that wont match your tent but if you wanted it you are welcome to it, the canopy has been lying in my camping cupboard for years and i cant bring myself to throw it away 

if you are interested in taking on a little project i will happily post it to you

the other option would be to buy a canopy for the cabanon A series tents and see if you can adjust that to suit your tent
