Hi to all!

I'm new to the forum so apologies if this is in the wrong place!

I have recently bought a Hi Gear Sahara 6 tent that was supplied without the poles. Probably crazy but my reasoning was that it should be reasonably simple to identify the pole dimensions and lengths from the manufacturers and then buy some aftermarket poles.
How wrong could I be! I have spoken to Gelert (who are the originator of the tent) and attempted to speak to Hi Gear and pretty much searched everywhere to get the details but 1 week on I am no closer to getting an answer.
My big ask is if there is anyone who has a Sahara 6 and if yes would they please tell me the lengths and dimensions. Alternatively if anyone knows where I can buy a set from I would be really grateful.

A hopeful new 'Tenter'

This tent will have been made specifically for Go Outdoors, it may be worth visiting Go Outdoors if you have one close by and seeing if they have any poles going spare.

Think they're still making the Sahara but it's now called the Sahara elite so nip into a go outdoors see if they have one on display and take the measurements

Thanks to both, really do appreciate your advice. Unfortunately I went to Go Outdoors yesterday and they couldn't help but I think I will go back and ask re the Sahara Elite - Thanks

There used to be a seller on E-bay who sold Go Outdoors returns - not sure if they are still going but if they are might be worth contacting them and asking if they have any. Good luck, hope you get it sorted!

Hi,

I have followed up on the advice given but unfortunately I am still drawing a blank. In a final attempt to get this info I have sent an email to Go Outdoors customer services but to be honest based on my results so far I am not too hopeful.

It seems that I will not be using this tent and a big learning curve for me, lol!

Thanks again to all for taking the time to help.

Another option is buying a used one complete with poles & you will then have a spare tent should it get damaged, currently one for sale on a popular auction site £99 with no bids with only 2 days to go.

Yes, saw that one. It's a good idea and is probably the way to go. Thanks Damo.
