Re: Awning suitable for a family of 5, any recommendations p

Hiya, We have a 7yr old, a very nearly 6yr old and an 8month baby. Now that 4 has become 5 I'm thinking we need an awning but where to start? It would have to be tall enough for us to stand up in. We would be needing it for hubby to sleep in cos he's a snorer and possibly the 7 yr old cos he's a sn...

Have read on this forum that you can't get these in the UK but does that mean there is no tyre that would do the job. Would only use it in absolute emergency as I know they are only intended for...
