Their website obviously dont work--your nearest caravan shop should be able to supply you with what you want-worth pointing out-cheap nylon ones are only described as showerproof--so better to get a more expensive one in waterproof tencate material--also its better to have 3 ajustable poles to make a more pitched roof effect for when it rains- 2 poles just make a water trap-also these things wont stand strong winds--

I made one from a length of awning tape salvaged from a scrapped awning and a section of the canvas roof cost me nothing works well as long as the winds dont get to strong
