An optional awning or canopy can provide protection from the sun and rain, creating a shaded area from which to enjoy the outdoors without having to stay inside your tent.As is usual, we didn’t read the instructions when we put the Berghaus Grampian 2 together, not because we are unorganised or unprofessional, but because we feel it is a good gauge of how simple, hassle free and quick a tent is to pitch.
