Hi Nessie you could have a look at the Inaca weekender awning its sold by Barrons it is consturcted from PVC so it can be put away wet and left with out any trouble its quick to put up and to put away I do ours by my self in around 20 mins

there are others with more room in them but it all depends what you want the Weekender is big enough to allow you to put wet shoes and coats in a bin and maybe a slab of beer to chill you can get a couple of chairs in but not much else

If you want a really sturdy one I would get a conventional type porch.

We have an Inaca porch - see my Gallery.  It comes supplied with storm straps and is a good piece of kit.  You don't say whether youwnat it for staying warm and dry or simply for staying!  good quality pegs and guyropes are essential for the staing put bit.  While in France we spoke with a Dutch couple who had had their trailer tent for 15 plus years and camped all year.  Their answer to the warmth problem was that the trailer tent came with linings and a thin type of wool based insulation between the lining and canvas.  Didn't like to tell OH, have a feeling the knitting needles would have had to come out.....

Look for an awning with a steeply sloping roof that can be reinforced with extra roof bars and poles. This helps it cope with snowfall.
