I am want to buy a new Air/Inflatable awning - but it has to be lightweight i.e tent material - any recommendations?

Lightweight and tent material do not go together. Tent material and £2k however do match. LOL! 🤣

Lightweight awning recommendations

Air awnings by their very nature tend to be heavier than poled awnings, and to give good life and robustness are generally of heavier grade material than tents. But even tents will have different material weights depending on their designed usage and size. In my experience lightweight awnings are great in summer but can badly suffer condensation in less cool times.

Good starting points would be Vango, Kampa and Outwell.

I agree with the above, but not looked at them for a long time. But just did a search, and if a porch would do, I found this. Less than 10kg.

I have no idea regards the quality.

Outdoor revolutions are superb quality ours is 5and still great. We have a porch awning like John's Post suncamp swiftair i think260and it's very light and very good . I can put it up easily on my own and have had two new hips.

Bradcot do a porch awning that can be joined to another or even three if you have room. This might help with breaking the weight down but lightweight tends to me flimsy. In practice it is normally either light and short life or heavy and longer lasting. If you need lightweight you may have to accept the problem, but not sure if anyone on here has had a satisfactory one.
You can erect most with the side and front panels removed which could help when pulling it through the awning rail.

Hey - lol It's less than 24 hours since the thread was first started.

For those of us who only visit fairly irregularly - like wot I do - I thing giving a bit longer might be called for!

Beach ball, that looks similar to our Vango Rapide. I imagine that this is it’s 2021 incarnation. If it is, then it is easy to it up but you have to get the beggar square or the door gets tricky to open.

We have the Suncamp 260 porch awning, had it now for two years ./ Been in gales and heavy rain with no problems. However condensation we do get every now and again but it dries off
