Hello all,

We have been very pleased with our vango sun canopy until this holiday when one of the poles split in 2 sections. I have no problem fixing this, however, i have no idea what size sections to buy to replace them. i know they are fibreflex but that's it.

Any ideas?

Take the broken pole allong with you to the camping shop and they'll fix you up. Poles come in standard diameters and can easily be cut to the correct length with a hacksaw. (Put a bit of masking tape round where you're going to cut it, to prevent splintering.)

If it's the canopy with the elastic it's supposed to keep popping off - it releases tension and stops the poles breaking (or should do!) We have the large canopy with 2 poles so it still stays upright as it is guy'd in both directions but it looks as if the smaller canopy only has 1 pole so it will keep leaning over if the elastis pops off.

Try adding guy ropes to the pole so that it is guy'd in both directions? That might help.
