Hi

I broke a pole on my Vango Oregon 600 and dont have trouble finding replacement set or poles (or at least i dont think i have), what i do have a problem with is knowing what a spigot is?

Is this the hollow metal ferral at the end of each pole to allow the  metal pin attached to the groundsheet to be inserted??

The set which has the broken pole in is 5.5m long in total, each pole is 65cms and the diameter is 9.5 mm. 9 poles in total.

if anyone can direct me to the exact type and clarify the spigot thing would be appreciated lots

Thanks v much

Simon

Our local camp shop sells various sizes of poles, you buy the thickness you require and then cut them to the length you require, as I only required one (took the damaged one in with me) the gentleman made me a single one up and charged me £1.

The poles are in various diameters so you just buy the one that you need but the ones I bought were longer than the one I was replacing so I used a hack saw to cut them to the correct length. The kit contains a long wire needle for threading as well as spare cord.
