We trial pitched our Monty 7 yesterday and the roof bars were stuck together, I'm too a builder and brute force does not work. I pulled at them till I went red in the face with no joy! and then DAD came over very slowly and told me hold one part of the pole, while he very gently wingled the over up and down and it came straight out. So did the rest of them, I had vice and hammers in mind, good job here was there or I would of probably wrecked them! Wingle them up and down while gently pulling apart and you should be ok!

No thats not a new model - I meant Monty 6 - 2007!

Hi guys/girls

i have aquired a montana 5 tent (make high peak simex sport) but have no tent poles :(    can anyone help me in the right direction where i can get the poles from as the tent is in good condition. I have looked on internet but no having much luck :(

Got me paranoid!  Just been and checked my Monty 6 2007 (world of camping) and the poles are..........square.  Been niggling me this thread! lol

I too have a Monty 6 - bought it a month or so back from World of Camping, but I've got a feeling my poles are not square, more so D shaped. Which poles are we talking about?

Ok, just pulled it all out to have a good look (bare in mind this should be a 2007 model):-

SIDE POLES (legs):

From the ground up each section on the side pole (legs) inter-connects with a circular connection, finishing up with a square shape (that connects to the roof poles).

ROOF POLES:

At either end is the square shape that connects to the side poles (legs), but at the points where each section of the roof pole interconnects with the next section it is D shape.

Is this indicative of a 2006 or 2007 model?

Hi Markos

You have the 2007 poles if where the legs connect to the roof bars the connection is square.
