Possum Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 How about Argos or an outdoor supplier who may be selling off at this time of year. We have one, but as it's quite a biggish one it tends to get shoved about a bit with numbers of children in at once! Should have got a slightly smaller one!

Fredbear Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 What about Go outdoors, camping and general that type of shops normally have sales this time of year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Upsy Daisy Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 I love these http://www.privacypop.com/privacy-pop-bed-tent-twin.html#.Uj10ZtJ6Zpo but I don't know if you can buy the in the UK. I assume it would work with some cushions instead of a mattress inside. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 (edited) ooo that's nice Upsy Daisy :-) i've seen canopies in Ikea children's dpt for their children's loft beds...about £15 but it was a while ago and I've not been recently <feel a trip to Ikea coming on for a hot dog and a browse!> the supermarkets had some pop up tents in over the summer (children's version had a net panel in the top so still have some supervisory visibility!) - would it be worth asking if they have them 'stored' Beach sun canopy pop up tent thingy - open fronted but you could drape with a voile etc (possibly some parents may have them left over from the glorious recent weather) Edited September 21, 2013 by gingerbreadman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apple Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 I was in IKEA last night in the curtain department. They had on display a tent like canopy made from a pair of tab curtains (the ones with the large eyelet holes. These were threaded through a narrow piece of plastic piping but you could use dowling. They then added two more pieces of piping one on each side and pinned it around the length of each curtain so it created a 'roof'. if you imagine a triagular shaped roof and the sides of the curtains hanging down - sorry hard to explain. It looked very effective and cheap and easy to do as long as you have something to suspend it from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
