Don't get one with a sloping front. We've had a Vango 4 man tent for about 8yrs for two adults and two children. It's got a sloping front and I HATE it. We bought an extension a couple of years ago but it hasn't really helped so we're now looking for one that's longer so has a decent amount of "living" space plus a porch area.

Depending on the model of awning it will either be attached to the tent by zip or by webbing straps and clips. Designed to fit neatly to your tent, awnings are easy to pitch and attach. The most popular tents to add an awning to have specific products available. More universal canopies and awnings are available for many of our other tents too. Compatible with many tents with eyelets at the foot of the door. King poles hold the door open, creating a simple and hassle free canopy for the front of your tent and providing extra shelter for you and all the family. x 300cm Fits: Calder 500/600, Capri 500XL, Edoras 400/500XL, Langley 400XL, Monaco 500, Palermo 800XL, Ravello 500, Solaris 500/600 & Woburn 500.

Features Waterproof PE Groundsheet - Robust and hard wearing fabric to stand up to the rigours of the most active campersWe're also going to get a Coleman event shelter.

An awning, or canopy, is a fully enclosed addition for your tent. Vango awnings are comprised of sides, front and door. Pre-attached extension - Front canopy built into the design of the tent offering generous extra living space. Protects the floor of your tent over the long haul, especially good for larger tents where you've got lots of "traffic" going in and out, or smaller tents that are being pitched in sandy or rugged terrain. Pre-Attached Extension - Front canopy built into the design of the tent offering generous extra living space Covered entrance - gives a sheltered entrance to your tent, which prevents rain from dripping in to the living area
