Is there a reasonable alternative to the P-Pod canopy attachment ? Don't need the room part so much as I would like an awing at reasonable expense and not too difficult for one person installation. The $400.00 one would cost me a lot more than I want to spend in Canada with the 30% dollar exchange rate added on plus shipping .
Pictures of what you are using for an awning would be appreciated

I just us a 8'x8' easy up Canopy. That way we can move it around as the sun moves. And it's easy to set up and doesn't cost much.

Most EZ-Up or equivalent canopies will need to be elevated higher than the built-in legs will support to be used as an awning. I haven't tried putting stilts on one to see how well it would work.

Alternately, you can put a tarp in the keder rail to drape over the canopy so that you have shade and rain protection immediately outside the door.

Thanks guys.
For the pop ups do you not have to anchor the corners down ? I had one years ago for craft sales and had to have one gallon cans of concrete in each corner. I am trying to get away from having to take those weights on camping trips .
