Before too long the grass will start to grow and one of the things we Brits enjoy most of all, i.e. camping, will be back at the top of the list of things do with our leisure time.

The campsites will soon be a hive of activity. One Isabella awning after another will be assembled to provide a living area in which to spend many a wonderful hour. It is important to choose the right awning as we expect most of your leisure time to be spent not in the caravan but inside the awning.

We spend more than half of our waking hours in the awning so the quality is paramount. An awning which is used all season will have to remain firmly in place from Easter to Autumn, so an awning designed for this is essential. The Isabella awning factory has been manufacturing awnings designed to be used throughout a long season for over 50 years.

As a touring caravanner spending long weekends and holidays at campsites in Britain, the living space must also be tip top. Pretty much the whole day can be spent in the awning, and when dusk falls, it is in the awning that meals are eaten, and friends and family gather around.

The Isabella factory makes awnings of depths from 2.5 metres up to 3.5 metres. The depth is important when choosing an awning. A family with children will benefit greatly from choosing an awning of 3 metres or more in depth, as it provides plenty of space for all the bits and pieces you have to bring with you on a camping trip.

Putting up an awning of 3 metres in depth is exactly the same as putting up an awning of a depth of 2.5 metres. The only difference is two poles and the space.

At Isabella, you will find awnings in all categories – from the weekend tent, which you can have up and down in the space of no time, to large, sophisticated awnings, which leave you free to enjoy the camping season without being at the mercy of the weather. It is your precious leisure time, after all.

We are currently presenting all our new products for 2011. See for yourself at the coming camping and holiday fairs, and at retailers up and down the country just how much living space Isabella gives you.
