We have bought a second hand 260 Oriano Leisurewize porch awning...the one with a curved roof.

We need to change it as its too fiddling putting it up and certainly impossible if there's a breeze.

Can anyone recommend an easy to errct porch awning at a decent size...?

Minimum size needed roughly 2.5mrs x 2.5mrs

lightweight too if possible....

desperate as we go away in 1 week

Thank you 😊

You mean the Ontario?

I have a similar awning and i think its the best. 4 poles the same size. Takes a battering from some serious winds without problem.

Slide the awning into the rail keeping it close to the van in strong winds.
Fit one end pole And peg it out to the side with the wind pushing against it.
Then move along and fit the other poles.

The go around and position the poles/spacing them properly.

I started with a Kampa rally 260 plus, fantastic awning. I could put it up myself in about 15 mins plus pegging and I'm 5ft diddly squat with a taller than average caravan. You can get the standard 260 though. Just sold it this weekend as we bought a Kampa Rally Pro Ace 400...... love at first sight lol. Cant recommend Kampa awnings enough, the 260 took a battering with winds etc and stood firm.    

One tip though, when you've threaded the first pole through, peg it like Grampian says, you can't go far wrong then
