Hi, is anyone able to give me some advice.
We have a Vango Icarus 500 and want to get a porch/extension. I don't really want the enclosed front porch that is currently available, if it was a lot cheaper I would buy it but I would rather have something like the old style open front canopy.
I have tried to get a second hand one but no luck.
Does anyone know of any other alternatives that will fit onto the Vango Icarus.
Thank you

Could you use a tarp and fashion something yourself?

Thanks for the advice I will look into that.
I'm not sure I could fashion something with a tarp, It would probably fly away in the night.
I also looked at the event shelter as an alternative but I'm not sure tha amount I would use it would warrant the cost.

current Icarus is 330 wide x 195 tall this gelert canopy may be a little short where it attaches but shouldn't look too bad.

Just looked, it looks good but I think it's 280 wide and the Icarus is 330 wide.
not sure if that would work.

auctions states it's 310cm wide, the fact it's also 198cm tall should help.
Theres also this porch which looks to have a removable front so gives the option to close it off if needed.
