Would love to see a photo as this seems ideal for overnight stays!

We were at Lytchett Mannor near Poole. Lovely site if a little pricey

It's good advice, and works a treat when it's not windy :-)

Hello all,

I'm thinking about buying a Khyam Sun Canopy. I see they are 2.75m in width though and I'm sure the Bongo gutter rail isn't more than 2.5m? In that case I thought there would be some issues with overhanging. Any advice much appreciated if you happen to own one!

We've got the Kyham and it overhangs by a couple of inches, nothing to worry about

Oh cheers Leon, good to hear. Guess the overhang would make using the side panels a problem though? http://www.khyam.co.uk/detail.asp?p=203 ... 0Canopy%20[Side%20Panels] Do you use your roof or the gutter to attach the canopy?

Thanks for help :)

We use the gutters with figure of 8s. Don't have the sides so can't help there I'm afraid.
