Where do i start well a few weeks ago i was in the lakes and when erectin my VANGO ORCHY 600 I cracked one of the cross over poles in the dome section. I gaffer taped it up and my break wasnt ruined earlyier today i removed the elastic and went shoppin for a new pole in go outdoors they have loads of vango polesbut not my size the bloke in there wasnt very helpful either.
I measured the pole from the tip to the bottom of the metal bit and i get 60.5 cm but i cant work out how to measure the next bit do i do the diameter of the metal bit or the fibre glass bit i've looked on many sites now and cant work it out any help would be greatly appreciated as i need this pole for the weekend.
I just took my pole to go outdoors and they matched up for me, i bougt it came home and fixed it, they will fix them instore but for a price think around a fiver then the cost of pole. Hope that helps you.
hi rob you should take your vango pole up to camperlands or give them a ring they will repair it for you while you wait very helpful people.or you could also try outdoorworld in warrington also very helpfull.
As long as you get right diameter pole, you can cut the pole to size with a junior hacksaw. Most replacemnet poles are longer than they need to be to allow for using with different tents.
i would think the diameter you need is the pole itself not the metal ferrule.
Take the pole to the shop and compare it to be sure if the right size .
Put masking tape around it to stop spilntering and cut with a junior hacksaw, rub with sandpaper to remove and sharp bits. thread elastic through and tie off .
A single section is only about £2-£3 . A pack of elastic is about £5 , but that would restring several complete pole lengths, and always handy to have as spare for future repairs . Also worth getting another spare section , and cutting to size in readiness if ever needed to repair on site.
