Definition of an awning

One of the problems for other Bunree site-users is that occasionally, some front row, motor-homers roll out their canopies then erect quite sizeable windshields - they're more obtrusive than actual awnings.

Surely the wardens will deal with any such issue if necessary?

One might expect them to but whether or not they actually do is another matter. The last time we were there, a couple of years ago, on the front row, there were two large motorhomes with sun canopies and large windbreaks (at least 5 feet high), presumaby to restrict their dogs. They were obviously travelling together but I've no idea what conversations might have been held between them and the wardens. I must add that they didn't affect my enjoyable stay at Bunree.

When it comes to the awnings on a campervan when do they become a  tent and not an awning, some of them now are so large and some sites don't accept tents 

I don’t see how an awning can ever be classed as a tent🤷🏻‍♂️. It might be too large to fit on a pitch but it’s still an awning whether attached or freestanding .

The definition of an awning is that it connected to a structure.  

I found this definition from the CCC:

An awning is defined as a closable tent intended to be fixed to a stationary vehicle or to stand free of the vehicle. 

The Oxford definition refers to those type of awnings typically seen on shop fronts or over the decks of ships - like those, indeed, usually, seen on motorhomes. So the OP is right to ask the question I think.

But, in the caravan world, I think most would assume an awning to be as per the CCC definition.

In any case, I would hesitate to put anything up at Bunree, and especially not a wind out awning, even if well pegged down. It can get mightily windy there.

Just for a bit of clarity, on our sites a roll out canopy is just that so they can be deployed on a non awning pitch as long as the required spacing is adhered to. Add sides and a front to it and it's an awning so then not allowed on a non awning pitch.
