Awning canopy or awaning rail

[Bodonia]

We are looking at getting something that gives us extra space outside.
That we can chill in with the dogs.
We have been looking but are totally confused as to what to get. Wind out canopy or an awning strip. I have seen that you can get sides and front for a canopy. I have seen awnings, blow up, drive away, poles, and now my mind is blown. We would like what ever is the best option supplied and fitted if you recommend someone, we are based in Bedfordshire.

There are several makes and tasks dealt with here.
If you want to contain pets, keep out cool droughts or add another room the solution would differ. Which is your priority?

one thing to consider amonst many is how you use your van ,if you move on regularly or stay in one place
Your storage room on your van
How fit you are and height of sliding rail if you have a fixed one
If you have fiamma awning wind out you have best of both world as they have a sliding rail in the front box cover.
