Inspiration and ideas wanted!

Hi all,

I grow vegetables and sell them at farmers markets. Due to the bulky and heavy nature of my produce, I turned my ifor Williams trailer into a market stall. The sketch below shows how it works currently. the canopy folds up into the trailer when not in use, so when I arrive at the market, I park up, and pull up the horizontal bars with the tarpaulin attached.

The problem is, although it works ok, It doesn't offer much protection to my customers in the rain as the canopy only projects about 2 feet beyond the trailer.

Can anyone think of a better way of making a fold/pop up canopy over my trailer stall?

I look forward to your ideas!

On your opening flap can you not double it up by adding a hinge etc etc
Like bi fold idea

or this looks like the ideal idea

Add an extra bit that folds out from the last piece of the canopy in your drawing. Add a couple of extendable legs and you'll be good to go.

Also gives you a bit more stall frontage and advertising space

We used to have a camper with an awning on a roller and a couple of arms to brace it. Took a couple of minutes to set up. Similar to below.
