£250???

lov2getmuddy · Jan 10, 2011

is that a good price or not

landroverjack · Jan 10, 2011

Well I wouldn't pay that much for an awning. I am thinking of making my own from a canvas tarp and some metal poles.. Should only cost about £30-50

lov2getmuddy · Jan 10, 2011

tryed that when we went to wales,wind got under it ripped it! hole

then it started to rain,got that free standin awning no more worries

landroverjack · Jan 10, 2011

Well its your choice I'd have repaired it or made another. still a lot less than £250

lov2getmuddy · Jan 10, 2011

Cant really take much longer to unroll a tarp, push two metal poles in the ground and attach a piece of rope to each can it?

If you are happy with it thats all that counts though

lov2getmuddy · Jan 10, 2011

well happy.

I'm with you, 250 is nothing for a nicely made piece of kit. Now if you'd tell us where you got the damn thing, then I can get one too

I got one of these for the side with the 3 sides to make a room and the rear awning.

good quality 2nd hand kit is far better than 3rd party tat.

Sounds about right - couple of ali tubes fixed to opp ends of tarp...1 tube fixed to roofrack....roll-up / roll-out....couple of ali tent poles to support and couple of simple guy-ropes to stop flying up - 5 mins tops including opening bottle of beer

Now you can spend the remaining 200 odd quid on 'stuff'
