Aluminium Tent Poles Wanted.

[The Cumbrian]

Has anyone got any rigid aluminium tent poles that they don't need? I need to make up two 130cm lengths and two 70 cm lengths.
I can pay or swap something for them.

Cheers, Michael.

Would the Wilkos extending clothes props be any good Michael ?

Or maybe something like this ...

I might have something stuck away somewhere but I doubt I have the full 130cm length you need.

Failing that you might find something at TV ariel shops or some old CB radio gear going cheap.

Cheers Rich.
I might investigate the Wilko props, but I'd looked at the basha poles and dismissed them because of the screw tightener. I don't trust them, and the screw could abrade the fabric of the shelter that I've bought. I'm after the old fashioned type of tent pole that has a male and a female end, or failing that some trekking poles with worn out handles or something like that.
If anyone has any that could make up the shorter sections that would be great, and some props would do for the others.

Cheers, Michael.

I may have some,I'll check tommorrow as the Blacks Merrillite is due to go to the skip.

I have the ridge pole(about 2.1M) and two front poles(about 0.75M) I haven't measured them.
PM me if you want them.
