Hi all , just bought an outwell windbreak and have spent well over half an hour so far trying to slide the poles into the canvas of the windshield , surely there must be an easier way ?? it's like trying to fit an elephant into a mini ! ( ok , a bit of an exaggeration ) , point is , the poles are wider than the slots they go into ! ( or are they ) , anyone else have problems ? , i found it easier pitching the tent !!!

i havn't got any tips sorry,but wanted to say that it doesn't sound right to me if you are struggling this much,maybe youv'e got a dud.if you are forcing it be careful as the material might rip.
hope somebody can come on and help you out,im sure loads of people have got them on here.
thanks for the reply anyway , i bought it off ebay , seemed a nice enough bloke but beggining to wonder if it is a dud like you say and i have been had , hope not .

right ! they are all in , the last one was easy , plenty of room for it to just slide in , the first 3 were very hard to do , anyone know if this is normal ?

Take the windbreak to your nearest stockist of the same product and tell them you bought it and it is faulty and would like an exchange even though you dont have the reciept some places will exchange them as they will just send it back to their suppliers - its a bit of a cheek but I would have a go all the same.

yep,bottom end first,ours were a tight fit,(half price in millets,£19.99)my problem was the pins at the bottom fall out if the widnbreaks encounter much moving about,also,ive got 2,but they are both strung differently,one has double strings on every post,the other only a single on the middle,strange
it seemed it new condition and i believe the guy when he says it has never been used as he has over 800 feedback and all positive , i also collected it from his home so i don't believe he would have let me do that if he knew it was faulty , suppose i will just have to live with it and put it down to a stitching fault at outwell.
