i got one from them just before ether stopped making. its nice, not the cheapest ........ although i had a problem with the figure of 8 trim coming off when i left it for a couple of hours. they've been good, chatted over the phone about how to resolve it. my advice though ....... get he pole and clamp version if you can ...... and the three upright pole version might be more sturdy.

I bought a Gelert medium tarp from Lightning Leisure for £45.
It's 6.00m x 3.00m, clips to the gutter with pole and clamp or figure of 8 and is waterproof, just right for the summer. :lol:

i got one of these off ebay £30 originally from just kampers at £50 very good quality and very strong

 

[sharky71]

got mine from funky liesure three pole system with clamps....
sweet!

:sick0019:

 

[Pickles]

also got a JK sun canopy - all the poles make it pretty heavy for what it is

 

[sparkywig]

Sorry chaps, but the JK canopy is crap in anything other than sun.
The roof fills up with rain and inverts, the roof inverts when the wind blows, and the poles are sprung loaded so the diagonal roof poles push the ends apart and then spring out of the ends and go through your quarterlight glass and chip all the paint down the air intake......


I speak from bitter experience, ask easy, ozziedog, gvee, creationblue, etc......


:lol:

Figure of 8 strip or pole and clamp.

 

[Rosie]

Pleased with this one from belltent.co.uk. Used it for the first time last weekend, did really well even after a very windy, rainy night.

 

[Robb]

Figure of 8 strip or pole and clamp.

does it come with that?or do i need to purchase that from somewhere else?

 

[sparkywig]

You'll need to get that seperately.
