I've got an Aqua atom sleep system. It's snug but that's fine by me. The more bulk I take fishing, the less I seem to enjoy it tbh. I only use it in the summer but as seen below I have also added storm pole adapters on the front ribs. I plan on making some sides for it in the future for a bit of fun.

Looks like you got it sorted any chance of putting up pic of bed under it
I was thinking of putting sides on it you can buy the material and pegging rings on eBay

The new korum
Korum Progress Graphite Brolly Shelter 50"

Measures at 210cm wide?
How does a 50' brolly measure at that size 😂. Korum sizing is absolutely confusing .

210 cm is the width from each side wing pegging point.

I use a JRC X lite. Im 6ft 4 so a lank and sleep on side. Yeh ends touch sides but covers me fine. STS frame does not get in way. I Just remove the main pole you put up brolly with and use storm sticks.
I had some sides made for mine to just to give my gear more cover.

I got one of these a couple of years ago as I wanted something to block cold winds in the spring & it now comes with me on every trip. I bought a brolly last year as I wanted more cover but still prefer this over the brolly -

ali express beach shelter

pro's - very light, packs down very small, rolls up inside my unhooking mat, waterproof, takes me, rucksack, day chair etc. sewn in groundsheet, very quick drying, very cheap.

cons - not carpy, threaded poles so takes a couple of mins to put up, base isn't waterproof, after 3 years usage, some of the stitching has started to come apart.

considering the price, it has performed brilliantly as a day shelter & a couple of my friends have now bought them too.
