hi I recently was asking about porch awnings (another thread on here) & am now really keen on one that andcow told me about - the Outdoor Revolution Techlite. ...  but I can't seem to find one that has a fibreglass single pole,  just metal poles.  

This is the info ancow gave me ....

The techlite only has one pole in place that is threaded through the outside and then bent into postion in the same way you do with many dome/tunnel tents so is a very lightweight fibreglass pole system. Just peg it down after that. Once the awning is zipped on you can actually leave it attached when you take   down the unit though you do take out the poles of course. this would be really good if you only intend to use the porch.

Can anyone tell me what this particular Techlite one is called  please ?  Or if perhaps it's been discontinued now ? 

So far on googling I've seen Techlite 1 and also Techlite Pro ones but they both seem to come with metal poles,  and I'm not sure if they'll differ in other ways too.

ps - this was the other thread....

Ok & thanks a lot Paul.   I had fancied the fibreglass option as was thinking it would be easier to thread through as well as being lighter.  However I suppose the metal pole would give a more solid structure (iykwim ?) & it's not like we're going to be back packing with it ....   so on reflection I'm sure you're right it will likely be better. ! 

Thanks again
