Cheap and cheerful awning substitute...

Grabbed one of these "pop up" Gazebo's £32.00.. at first check in the garden, impressive for the diminuitive price. Weak spots are the plastic runners for the metal concertina sections, so will go easy. A bit late in season for a full testing i.e. heat reflection but might get some rain in (if unlucky)

Will be testing soon and will report back. Went up quite smooth, ideally need 2 people but could be done alone with a bit of shuffling about corner to corner.
The legs just peg in and there is some supplied paracord to double secure it from the top corners. Obviously more faffing than an actual awning but at £300-400 cheaper even if you broke one per season you would be quids in for a good while to come.
