The Sierra is also a decent size, at 2.2 metres by 2 metres. It will fit caravans of 235-250 cms.

The Anjou is a compact little porch awning that is very stylish and extremely durable. It costs about £250 and is designed for harsh weather conditions. It comes in 3 different colour schemes, and the extra costs is down to the higher grade polyester material it is made from. The front panel can be removed to create a veranda set up, and the frame is made of steel.

The final awning in the range is the Eurovent Veranda, which gives a large size living space of 3.5 metres by 2.5 metres. It has TenCate PVA coated roof panels and acrylic walls. Ten Cate is regarded as one of the best materials on the market, and the price reflects this, at around £430. The panels can all be removed to give different positions, and the frame is an alloy one for even more strength and durability, as well as making it lighter. There are also some optional extras including an annex and a tall size annex. It represents a very good little awning at a good price.

The Bradcot caravan porch awning range features 4 designs, which vary in price and usability, but they all offer something for everyone. The first awning is the Portico which is the most basic in the range. It takes only a few minutes to set up, and offers a small space to store muddy boots and clothes. The prices begin at around £299 from Bradcot Direct. The Portico is very sturdy and strong, with TenCate material which is heat resistant and one of the best materials around. It has 3 sides that can be rolled up to convert to a sun canopy. All sides have windows, and the sloped roof helps to deflect rain water. The standard frame is steel, but you can opt for alloy for more money. It will fit caravans between 230-250 cms high. It also comes in 3 different colours to suit your taste.

The Bradcot Portico + is a bigger version of the standard Portico, and covers a floor space of 6  feet by 8 feet, so you get a decent amount of room in there. The price is about £399 and it has the same TenCate material and acrylic dyed walls. The 3 panels all roll up to make a canopy or veranda if needed, and the front panel can be completely removed. There are windows on each side as well. An alloy frame can be bought instead of the steel frame that is standard. The benefit is that alloy is lighter and stronger, and also more resistant to the weather so it will last much longer. There is also a 10 year anti fade guarantee with this porch awning.

The Portico XL is the third in the Portico series and is the biggest of the 3 by far. The XL is the best selling Bradcot awning and it offers the benefits of a full size awning without the high price tag. The price is £579 but it is top quality we are talking about here. The size is 11 feet by 8 feet, so there is huge living space, and this can be extended with the optional annexes that are available for this porch awning. All the sides can be removed or customised, and they all have very large windows and doors for easy access. One side has a mesh ventilation for better breath-ability and air flow into the awning space. The annex can be fitted to either side, and there is a standard and taller extension to choose from. All told, this is just like having a full size caravan awning.

The Bradcot Atrium 35 is a five sided porch awning that gives the benefits of having a full size awning, but it really does look very special indeed. One of the most stylish porch awnings on the market today, and it has won many rave reviews from the trade shows along the way. The price is £649 for the 35, which has a projection of 3.5 metres, hence the name. There is also the Atrium 45 which is 4.5 metres, and this will set you back about £699. The 3 front panels are basically just very big windows, and they can be moved around with not too much fuss. The back panels have ventilation mesh in them. Because these awnings are very large, you need at least 4.1 metres of flat awning rail to fit them. The material is again, TenCate and fade resistant dye is standard. You can opt for the allot frame for more strength and durability if you want.

Bradcot porch caravan awnings are some of the best designed awnings you will find on today’s market. The Atrium awnings are also two of the best looking designs around. The quality is top notch on all the models, and they are certainly built to last. The prices reflect the quality standards that Bradcot have built their reputation on.

The Sunncamp Scenic Plus is the entry level awning and costs around £90. It is 275 by 200 cms, and is made from synthetic polyester. The frame is reinforced fibre and it weighs just 9.5 kgs. The two side panels both have windows and curtains, and the front can be rolled up or zipped for access. There are adjustable straps and high visibility guidelines for pegging out. A basic awning at a reasonable price.

Next we have the Ultima 260 and the 260 Plus, which are around £140 and £180 respectively. Both look the part, and will fit caravan awning rails of between 230-245 cms in height. There are two front panels with large windows and privacy curtains. These panels can be rolled up, and there is a side door as well. The curved lines of these awnings are what sets them apart, and this prevents rain water building up on the roof. The walls are made from reinforced polyester, so you have a bit more durability with these. Other standard accessories are a fly screen and a draught skirt. Many places have sold out of these models, so this gives an indication of just how popular they are.

The Sunncamp Comtempo is a hoop style awning that is hugely popular with many people. Most retailers have already sold out unfortunately. The price is £145 and for this you get two side doors with mesh screens, a very large front door, two side panels that are basically just full size windows. This porch awning does let the maximum amount of light in, which is its best feature. It will fit caravans between 240-255 cms, and weighs only 10.8 kgs. It has fibreglass poles and the material of the roof and side walls is polyester canvas. The shape makes it very good at withstanding wind and rain, and is very stylish to look at.

The Sunncamp Ultima 390 Plus is the biggest porch awning in the range and is the closest thing to having a full size awning, but without the price tag. It costs about £215 and gives you 10 square metres of floor space. For this kind of money it is hard to beat. Three front roll up panels are the main feature, but you also have 2 side panels with access doors. An inner tent is available for creating sleeping quarters if needed, and it does not cost much for it either. It now comes with extra back supports to give it more stability. An excellent choice for the larger family who are looking for an affordable lightweight porch awning.

The Solara is the first of the full porch awnings and you can see the extra technology that has gone into the design. It offers very good living space, and can be used for longer holidays due to its stability. You can choose between fibreglass or aluminium poles, but both are simple to erect with the instruction manual. It has the Vario pegging system and the optional storm mate kit if needed. A high quality awning, and new for the season.

The Eclipse is a universal awning that has the latest sunncamp technology, much like the Solara. The walls are acrylic coated with the new sunntex technology, so they are water proof and breathable at the same time. The support poles feature the quick lock system, so it is an easy awning to work with. The front and side panels can be rolled up to create a veranda when the sun is shining.

Overall the Sunncamp range is one of the best around. The prices are very reasonable and the technology is right up there with the best of the rest. As quite a few of these awnings have sold out, it can be difficult to actually get your hands on them. This tells how well received they are. You will not go far wrong with a Sunncamp porch awning.

The first in the line up is the Fun and Fun Plus, which are the most basic awnings. They are best suited for overnight stays or for touring, and are made to fit caravans of 235-250cms in height. The prices are very low, with the Fun coming in at about £90 and the Fun Plus at £105. For this kind of money you get a door on the left and right sides, and the roof is angled to stop any rain water building up. The poles are reinforced fibre and you also get mesh ventilation on both sides. They both look very modern, with their sweeping curves and stylish colour schemes. The Fun weighs just 8 kgs, so it is easily transported and doesn’t take up much room.

Next we have the Starcamp Sport Plus, which is a bit bigger than the Fun series, and it will set you back around £120. It has two doors and mesh ventilation, and is made from a higher grade polyester which gives it a bit more durability than the Fun and Fun Plus. It comes in a choice of 3 colours and weighs 9.5kgs. Again, it is ideal for short stays and weekend breaks, and at the price it offers terrific value for money.

They are made from ripstop polyester material and the flexible rod system means they can take adverse weather conditions. The 390 can also be used with an inner tent, which is only £30 and will give you another berth, ideal for unexpected guests. Both look very stylish indeed, and are one of the most popular Starcamp caravan awnings. Another advantage is that they only take minutes to set up.

The Quattro has the same technology as the Alpha but is slightly larger, at 275 by 200 cms. The front panel has two windows, which have privacy curtains as well. It has been designed to be easy to use, and with the option of the lightweight aluminium frame it certainly is. The price is around £300, and you will be hard pushed to find a better porch awning that offers as much as the Quattro for the price. Highly recommended.

Starcamp has gone from strength to strength in recent years. They offer low prices awnings but still manage to give good quality and durability. Even the lowest priced models have something to offer, and the stylish designs make them pleasing on the eye. Well worth a look at.

First up we have the Isabella Snowboy, and this porch awning is designed for winter use. It may seem strange, but many people enjoy camping and travelling in the winter months. The scenery and views can be spectacular in winter, and very refreshing. The fact that you can use this awning in extreme weather should give you a clue as to its quality and durability. It has a sloped roof to stop any snow building on the roof, and strengthened support poles make it more secure. The windows have special foil that is designed to keep the cold out, and the entire canopy is amde from polyester that is both weather proof and strong.

The Isabella Universal caravan porch awnings come in a variety of sizes, and are titled the 300, 320, 360 and 420. The numbers represent the size of the awning. They are made for spring and autumn trips, which are becoming more popular these days. They can be used all year round in fact due to the special features such as the sloped roof and extra large mud flaps. The seal to the side of the caravan is also excellent and this prevents drafts blowing through in cold weather. The colours and styling are a cut above the rest, and the sturdy steel or carbon frame are more than capable of holding it in place all year round. The flexible pegging out points are ideal for uneven ground and add even more stability to the awning. The front panel can be removed, and the windows all have curtains with them. Prices start at around £650 for the 300 and rise as you go up in size.

The Dorema porch range has four awnings to choose from, and they vary in price and specification. The first in the range is the Dorema Hilton, and this is made to fit caravans of 225-250cms in height. Remember all measurements are in centimetres. It features the fibre tech fibreglass frame which is anti corrosive, very strong and flexible. It is one of the easiest awnings on the market to set up. It also comes with the safe lock system which gives added stability in windy conditions. The canvas is Ten Cate, which is very durable and weather proof, so it will last you a long time, and not degrade and fade over time. You get two doors at either side of the awning for better access, and there are windows on all three sides for good viewing.

All these windows have privacy curtains. The front panel can be rolled up or zipped out to give a nice sun shade and allow easy access. The zips make the process even easier. Another useful addition is the reversible mud wall, that can be used inside or outside. This helps to protect the bottom of the awning. The Hilton is also free standing, so it does not attach to the side of the caravan. This gives you the freedom to move off site without taking the awning down, and the back supports are coated to protect your caravan. Free standing also stops any damage to your caravan in bad weather as there will be no pressure on the caravan walls.

The roof is slanted to allow water to fall away without puddling on the top, and the roof material is TenCate. The walls are made from acrylic which is very breathable and water proof. The weight is just 18kgs, so you can store it with ease when travelling. There are a variety of colours to choose, with blue and grey, green and grey, and finally burgundy and grey. Prices start at around £400 to about £450 depending on where you go.

The Dorema Laser is designed for more permanent use, and has the latest Ten Cate all season material which gives it even more durability and strength to survive the worst weather all year round. It makes it totally waterproof as well. It will fit caravans of 225-250cms in height, just like the Hilton and it weighs 21kgs, so it is a little bit heavier, but not by much. The Laser also has the easy grip quick system, which means there are only three parts to the entire awning set up. The support poles can be fitted in place with the strong clamps, and this makes the whole thing very safe and strong. Dorema technicians have developed this system over many years, and the result is very good indeed for awning owners.

The depth of the Laser is 2 metres, so you get some decent room inside for your things. The front panel can be zipped up or rolled up to give you a nice front space when the sun is shining. The side panels each have a door, and there are numerous windows on each side so you ill have no problem seeing outside. The frame is made from lightweight aluminium and is coated for extra protection from the elements. This is a well made and quality awning, that will not let you down. A fly screen is also there on the left side, and you have a ventilation flap to allow the air to circulate better. The prices begin at around £420 and rise to £470. Always have a good look at the different places because you will find the prices do vary from one place to the other. There are always sales going on, and may find it cheaper than this.

The next awning is the Dorema Toronto, and this just happens to be the most popular in the Dorema porch awning line up. It is the best seller by far. This awning has the fibre tech frame so it will last a very long time without much trouble. It will caravans up to 225-250cms just like the others will, but it is a bit bigger at 245cms depth. The front and ide panels all have windows and doors in them which can be altered. The front panel can also be zipped up or rolled up out of the way with ease.

It looks very stylish and is well designed for a lot of use. The quality materials mean this is a class above cheaper porch awnings, and is the reason why it is so popular with caravanners all over the country. The prices start at about £445, but it is well worth the money.

The last in the range is the Vitesse XL, and this is the most luxurious porch awning you find anywhere. It is designed for larger caravans, and has all the features of a full size awning but without the price tag. Think of it as an awning without the extra hassle of setting up al full size model. The main benefit of the Vitesse is that you can add a sleeping annex room to the side, so you have the ability to accommodate more people, and this can be a cost effective way of enjoying your travels. The fibre tech frame is standard, and you have removable front and side panels for better access, and if you want to create a sun canopy.

The annex can be fitted to either side of the main canopy, and this will cost around £250. It has a depth of 250 cms and is over 3 metres across, so you have a lot of extra space for the money. If you combine the Vitesse with the annex and the actual caravan space, then you do have a very large home from home. It weighs 26kgs, so it is not too heavy, and can be stored very easily. Prices are around £525 without the annex. If you want to save some money then you can always look for used models which should be considerably less.

Dorema have a nice range of awnings at affordable prices. All of them are quality products, and the prices reflect this. They are one of the most popular brands on the market, and many campers choose them for their caravans. Highly recommended for the ease of use, and also the after sales and support, which are never more than a phone call away.

They come in various shapes and sizes, and are very versatile to your requirements. The model you go for will depend on the size of your caravan and what you intend using it for. Most porch awnings can be added to, with extra side and front panels to give you even more space. This comes in handy if you need more room, and avoids the cost of buying a larger awning. The manufacturers make it easy to customise them, but you should always seek a bit of guidance before you modify.

The most well known brands in the UK are probably Dorema, Isabella, Sunncamp and Starcamp although there are quite a few other makes that produce quality porch awnings. All these manufacturers have their own special features and fitting systems, so it is a good idea to a bit of researching before you buy. Your local dealer will be a good place to start, as they should be knowledgeable about awnings and the problems you may face. Online is another good place to get information, and there are many owners clubs and forums where you can get some tips and tricks, not to mention how these awnings are like to live with on a daily basis. It can save you a lot of time if you look a bit further than just the styling and the looks.

All porch awnings come in different sizes, so you need to measure the dimensions of your caravan before you start. The sizes are given in centimetres and include the height and length of the awning. If you are not sure what size you need to get, then go to a dealer who will measure it for you. This is vital that you get it right, otherwise you could end up with an awning that does not fit, and then the hassle of returning it. If you shop from an online store you will see that each awning has the size of caravan it is designed to fit. The height is the most important part of all. If you have a new caravan, or a modern one, then you will usually find the awning size dimensions in the manual, but if you have an older caravan then this may not be included. There are some online retailers that will give you a free measuring service if you tell them the make and model of your caravan.

The materials are also important, you can buy steel poles and supports, which are the cheapest option, but these will not last as long. Modern materials such as fibreglass and coated steel are far more durable and will not be susceptible to rust. Fibreglass is also much more flexible, and in high winds it will flex, unlike steel will may get damaged. The awning fabric should be robust and waterproof. You ideally want something that is breathable, so on hot days you will not be too uncomfortable. This also allows the sir to circulate much better, creating a cooling effect that runs through the awning and into the caravan itself.

Many porch awnings have front doors and windows for easy access and for viewing. If you need some privacy then look for windows that have curtains on them, or pull down covers that you can use at night. You may some valuable things stored in the awning so you don’t want people to see these in full view. Mesh screens can also help keep out insects and other flying nasties, and they are a good addition to any holiday. Many awnings have this option, so if the weather is warm were you are heading to, then look for this option.

Don’t forget the groundsheet and perhaps an inner tent or partition. You can use these sheets to keep any mud or dirt from entering the caravan area. It also helps if the ground is damp in the morning. Look for the shape of the awning roof as well. Flat roofs will allow any rain water to build up on top, and this can cause pressure to build on the support arms and tension poles, weakening them and reducing their life. You also don’t want a big puddle of water falling on you when you exit the porch awning. Modern designs have a sloped roof that can channel the water away, or you get a rain gutter that solves this problem.

If you plan on having more people with you then look for an awning that can be customised with ease. You will find that all it takes is attaching some side panels by way of a zip. This can instantly enlarge your living space, and is great if you have unexpected guests round. If you need to sleep more people then look for a privacy room or a safari room. These are additions that are relatively inexpensive and will sleep any number of people.

If you take the time to think about what you want out of your porch awning, then you should be fine. Awnings are a great way to accommodate people, and increase you space. They are fairly simple to erect if you follow the instructions, and getting used to them is vital. Try setting up before you leave for the camp site, this way you will know how things work. It also saves a lot of time when you get to camp if you know what you are doing. It may seen like common sense but you would be surprised how many caravan owners neglect this part to their cost. There is certainly no fun in trying to set something up in bad weather and finding you can’t do it efficiently. Practising at home on the driveway will iron out potential problems before they occur, and reduce any stress and arguing.
