Poles for sale due to ripped tent following 5 seasons of Sun damage. The material has become very brittle and I now have 3 tears. These have been repaired but dare not use the tent again

Hello Shaun, can't say I am an expert, but the ease of which it tore makes me not want to risk it for our holiday this year. I can appreciate what you want to do, great tent but when it rains really hard to get in at the front without getting everything wet. I live in Cheadle Hulme, South Manchester. If you want to take a look then that is fine.

I can't see anyone buying it, if you think you can use it you can have it for free.

Don't blame you with fuel at the price it is. Hope you find something in time for the new season. Happy New Year to you also - Gary

Experience enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again.
Everything has been said before, but since nobody ever listens we have to keep going back and saying it all over again and again and again
