considering one of these atm, one concern is if it rains and looking at the base of the swag, the canvass goes all the way to the bottom where most have at least 40cm of a plastic tub? im changing from a more traditional double swag as theres no real height on e inside so taking and putting on clothes is a pain, how much headroom is there? tia

Good job & review mate, I recently purchased one on special for $500, so I had to give it a go at that price & most reviews seem pretty good on the Kings 270 Freestanding awning that I have seen. The biggest issue has been water ingress through the bag seams, not the bolt holes, best remedy is to mix silicone & white spirits to make a paintable solution/goo & paint it on all the inside seams a day before final install, apart from that, pretty good value for price point. TFS. Cheers
