I recently purchased a shadow sun canopy and I am extremely pleased with the quality and ease of use except for one concern.The poles are at full stretch when on a level pitch which means that they easily collapse in a stiff breeze due to the lack of reinforcement between the two sections.I used "staka pads under the poles which solved the immediate problem but wonder if any other users have noticed this and found a better solution.

Yes I understand. Rail height and door height would both be important, and in your case the poles are not long enough. We have had two Shadows and used them on two caravans and they were OKI  I wonder if Isabella have had more than one length of poles?

Isabella are not showing longer pole option.As previous reply they will supply extensions although I have been unable to find any reference. I will stick with my staka blocks as they work well.

We have been using an Isabella Sun Canopy for many years now, it is an older model but as new and very stable because it has 5 roof bars, the winged side panels are vey aerodynamic and colourful. however even with 5 roof bars it is still prone to puddling in heavy down pours .After many combinations of height and tension positions I am resigned to a little inconvenience that I can't cure.
