Does anybody have any idea on what diameter the fibreglass poles are for the Vango Icarus 500, I've emailed Vango, but I was wondering if I might get a quicker response here.

I've a couple of split pole sections, and intend to repair them, but want to make sure I order the right size pole sections.

Thanks
Scott

Scott,
I have bought spare poles for my Icarus and they are 11mm.

(I actually got the guy in go outdoors to measure the poles on a display Icarus that was pitched in the tent field!)

Touch wood, I haven't had to use the spare poles yet.

Are the Tigris poles the same dimensions? We managed to split a couple of poles putting the tent up in wind at the weekend (thank goodness for Tenacious Tape!)

Thanks for that, you beat the people at Vango's after sales department... 11mm they are..

I'll share the link they sent me though, as they sell spare sections and complete poles for lots of tents, and even list them by brand, year and type of tent... it should help you with the Tigris poles, which appear to be different sizes.

Hope that helps!

Auntie Doris,

Not sure about the Tigris poles.

Next time I'm out & about I have a look (and a measure!)

Paul.
