Lightweight "awnings"

[gingerbob]

Was at Volksworld at the weekend and saw a friend of a friend that had an awning from http://www.the-bus-shelter.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;.

I was wondering what are my other options?
Im after a lightweight shelter, not to take up too much space - mainly for shelter from sun and gentle rain.


Thanks!

Bluebird Customs have a nice looking lightweight awning, not sure if it's waterproof though: http://www.bluebird-type2.co.uk/awnings.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I don't think you can go to far wrong with the "Bus Shelter" awnings. I have been looking around too and they seem to be the most practical and versatile awning available before you start going down the route of the Bluebird ones for instance. I found a company on Ebay (cannot remember the traders name) that does a similar lightweight awning but only in white and without the options to change the way it is set up.

You can buy the fig 8 to fit it to the gutter

Cheers guys.
Have since found both the links that aaron has - alas the charly one is sold out, and I am not too keen on the design of the other one - nor on sunflowers that yuo can get on another variation.

Think Ill go for the bus shelter one
