I have just started producing motorsport awnings.
The specification is as follows,
Heavy duty anodised aluminium frames with reinforced nylon brackets, bearings etc. and stainless steel pivots and spring locating pins.
Sizes now available are 3m x 3m, 4,5m x 3m and 6m x 3m. Colours are either red, white or blue. Each frame and canopy comes with it's own reinforced carry bag, tie down straps and pegs.
Sidewall sets, in the same colours are also available. These, like the canopy, are produced in 350g flame retardent and waterproof polyester and attatch by velcro and tie on straps, all sidewalls can zip together to make a completely weatherproof shelter. 1 side wall and 1 end wall have a 'zip out' door facility which simply rolls up and clips to the top panel. Again, each sidewall set comes in it's own carrybag.
Pictures show the 4,5m x 3m option.
Prices are as follows:
3m x 3m Frame & canopy £260 Sidewall set £75
4,5m x 3m Frame and canopy £340 Sidewall set £85
6m x 3m Frame and canopy £430 Sidewall set £100
No vat to pay. :) Delivery costs dependant on location.
If several people wish to make a 'group buy' (say lads north of the border) I could probably arrange to ship 3 units or more to a single destination free of charge.
If anyone would like more info or want to order, please e-mail or PM me.
If it's of any interest, I could bring orders to Abingdon for pick up on the day.
Alternatively, anyone wishing to take a look before then is welcome to come over to have a look at my demo unit.
I'm north of Nottingham.
Cheers,
Mick.

They look damned good Mick.
I think the club should order a red/white/Green one - if thats possible :D

Seriously Mick, what size bags do they pack down to. Guess they are 2 big to fit in a Stratos boot.

Cheers

Good point Tim,
They are 1,6 m high when packed into their carry bag. The 4,5m x 3m is then 400mm x 500mm. The 6m model will be approx 400mm x 600mm.
I think that even if they did fit into the strat boot, it would be heavy. The 4,5 x 3 unit weighs about 45kg. :eek:
Regarding the Club having one, I'm afraid green isn't available so it would probably be better to have a plain white one and hang the club banners on it.

Would be a good club purchase. If my belly expands anymore then we all won't fit under Ken's at castle coombe. 4.5x3, in white with some red and green decoration :) I'm happy to shift it around for events.
