    Does anyone know where I could get a canopy for my back garden. Im not looking for anything huge. Just something mayve 2.5 metres wide and 2 metres long. There was one in Woodies about a year ago that was only afew hundred euro. Are they expensive? Does anyone here have one and can recommend a place to buy them?

    Cheers guys.

    I did blindman but they said around 1000 would be the cheapest which is way over budget. ive been told that B and Q do them for about 300 but I'd need to see the fabric in store.

    I can appreciate budjet difficulties but anything significantly cheaper than €1000 will fade sooner and also they need to be wound in, in a light breeze, I consider the €200 to €300 ones as disposable i.e. not worth repairing just go out and buy another. That said a stiff breeze can damage a €1000 euro one.

    what would the difference be? Aside from fading colour. Its to go in an alcove out my back garden. Doesnt get much wind as its between 2 extensions (mine and my neighbours)

    Theres no such thing as a free lunch. If something is significantly cheaper there is usualy a reason. With canopies it can come down to different fabrics, non colourfast dies, weaker mechanism/brackets/arms. (Fabrics can look so alike you have to leave them out in the sun to tell the difference sometimes)

    There were canvas awnings in Habitat, which might work.
