Hi Andy
Difficult to measure as hard to tell where bends start but measured on the outside of the pole the straight bit

Vermont = 182cm
Montana extension = 188cm

Hope this helps

Many Thanks

What are you looking for, sun canopy, with walls or fully enclosed?

I say sun canopy but it seems more useful at keeping rain away from the front door, it doesn't seem to give a lot of shade.

arsenaldes.

thank you so much for the pole sizes.

Mine are the same.

Vermont  L.= 182cm.   Monty 6Ext =188cm.

It may also be that I had pitched slightly on a slope.

Anyway, it's a great combination and i'm very pleased with my set-up.

Thanks again.

Andy.

Hi Andy

I wonder if they changed the width of the bands for 2011 when they added the "go faster stripe".

The Vermont is a great tent but always seems to plat second fiddle to the Montana although having had both I think the Vermont is a nicer tent all round. Weve had ours for 4 years and its withstood gale force winds and torrential rain. If you intend to use Delta pegs I would use them on the rear vent flaps as they are stronger than than the fastenings on the flaps.

arsenaldes,

Yes I do use Delta pegs, thanks for the tip.

One of the reasons I brought the Vermont L was on your recommendation and your recommendation to buy the monty 6 Extension.

So it's a chance to say "Thank you" as I'm pleased as punch with both.

Andy
