Hi all,

We have recently bought a HiGear Frontier 8 from Go Outdoors. We had been trying to get one for a while as we really liked the tent. Because they are being discontinued it became a bit of a struggle. We have got once now, but due to a mix up we have Oasis 8 Poles rather than Frontier 8. As it turns out the main tent poles are the same (in fact there is one extra, so no problems).

We do have an issue in that the fiberglass poles for the side entrance covers aren't the same. With getting the tent we wanted at a good price we are happy to replace the sections of fiberglass poles and cut them to the right size. The only problem is that we don't know what is the right size. I can't find any specifications for those poles online. Would someone who has the Frontier 8 be kind enough to measure each section of two porch poles so we can buy and cut them to size. Or if anyone has a link to the specification of those poles.

Thanks very much in advance :)

Richard

That's excellent! Thanks very much! It looks like a night in with some fiberglass poles and a hacksaw ahead
