 Montana poles are made of steel so I would imagine it would take something drastic to snap one, even in strong winds I would imagine they would bend first.

 There have been a few threads on here regarding poles sticking when trying to pull them apart.

Have you had a problem with yours ?

When the Montana first came out (2005? 2006?) there were some quality problems with poles, but that was addressed by makers/retailers providing sets of replacement poles, so I don't think there is a similar widespread problem now.

We've just come back from a very wet'n'windy week in Devon. Our friends were using a Montana 6 which they found leaked like a sieve and then one of the poles snapped in the wind. Fortunately they managed to lash canopy poles either side of it and fit a load of additional guy lines to the area in question to prevent any collapse !
