Hi everyone.

First off I'm new here so go easy on me! haha!
I am a beginner camper, only just got into it this year with the family.
I have an Easy Camp Licata 600 tunnel tent which was bought second hand as I wasn't too sure how my young family would like the great outdoors! It held up well in some bad rain last week for a couple of nights, just a minor leak or two, but obviously every time i opened the door the entrance became soaked.
I was looking at getting some kind of porch/extension for the doorway. I have done some searching around but cant find anything... I'm not sure if either there never was a porch that fit or if its just that old of a tent that they aren't made any more?
I'm looking to you knowledgeable people for advice on what my best options would be?
Also I have had a brief look at a tarp (Vango Adventure Tarp at Go Outdoors mainly) Would this be something I could rig up to provide a bit of shelter around my doorway.
Many Thanks in advance and apologies for being such a beginner at all this!!

I have the Licata 400 (fab little tent) and I bought a Lichfield extension which was on offer.
As you have a tunnel tent, any extension or side canopy should fit - just check the height of the extension with the height of your tent.

Hi
Thanks for your reply... I was hoping that was going to be the case! Just wanted to make sure before i went out and spent money on something that wouldnt fit!
I will have a look around and see what i can find!
Thanks again.

Do a search for the Tarp threads and see what you can do with a tarp, some of them are quite amazing!

Thanks... I've just noticed that there is quite alot on tarps on here!

Even if I cant use it as a makeshift porch, I think they may well still be worth investing in just for how versatile they are!

Thanks again!

I have found a porch quite cheap on ebay but the only issue is the height is 200cm and my tent is 210cm at the highest point (180cm at the lowest)
My question is would this be a problem that its 10cm shorter than my tent or could i make it fit?
Thanks
