Hello,

In a bid to save some money I have bought an old display tent and was planning to get the poles with it after (as it didnt come with any) Though I can't seem to find any instructions online that have the correct lengths i need to look for and i cant get a call/email back from the tent brand.

Could anyone shed some light or point me in the right direction please?

The tent is the same as this one:

the lichfield Zuni 5

all the best

Just a thought but have you rang/e-mailed Lichfield for assistance?

They may have suitable poles amongst their kit.

If you can't get any joy from Lichfield themselves, it may be worth trying their stockists. Theree's a map showing them here (sorry, don't know how to do links):

Good luck, hope you get sorted.

Hey both,

thanks for the info :) yea i emailed them but had no luck getting anything back. I really need the poles asap now aswell. There's a few places that sell all different sized poles with next day delivery but just need a way of working out what size to buy.

o why didnt i pay more attention to Pythagoras calculations in school!

Hi. I have the same problem with a day shelter I got from somewhere. Can't remember now, its been so long. I needs 19mm poles with plastic fittings to attach the roof poles. I remember them being called flexi something.
Now its just another tent thing under the stairs.

Canvas tent, paraffin light, petrol stove. Heaven

Spent up, not pent up, just had my new tent up.

Hey all,

Many thanks for your help, emailed a few suppliers and waiting to hear something back.

Though I think I have worked out what size polls I need with a bit of good ol pythagorus. Where can I buy just tent poles from at a good price?

All the best

I don't like to be negative but to be honest the cost of a complete set of poles will probably offset any money-saving. And, as you've already discovered, finding the correct poles for a tent is not always straightforward.

Rather than spending more money on the incomplete ex-display model, you might be better off buying a different (and complete) tent.

I can answer that on a more positive note. Try phoning or emailing www.tentspares.co.uk, a very helpful midlands-based company.
