Do you mean its too long that it doesn't fit, or too long that it is just a bit tight getting it in. If its too long full stop then the ideal solution would be to contact Outwell or the shop where you got it to get the correct sized one. If you cut it down then 2 things could happen....if you accidently cut it too short then the porch could sag and also it would void the warranty. Obviously since you are going tomorrow contacting Outwell is out of the question. The other solution is to buy some fibreglass poles and put them together to be the size you require.

My porch pole was the correct size too. Maybe someone with a monty 6 thats their poles fit could measure their pole and you could compare the size and see if yours is longer.

Sorry I cant help as I have a Monty 4.
