Campasarow - having just become the proud owner of an (excellent) second hand Evolva and pitched it in the garden I can see the problem with the poles and although I've waded through this thread I'm still a bit baffled as to what to do - can you enlighten me please?

Thanks

Just bought myself a genuine 11cm diameter Coleman Wrapflex spare pole for £1.99 from BCH Camping in Trowbridge to make myself a correct length extension for the green pole.

The good thing is the pole has a ferrule at both ends so I can make myself two extension pieces for the price of one and have one as a spare.

campasarow

Mine needed to be 17cm - as per the measurements below:

Just make sure that your shortened blue + green + extension come to 410cm (give or take).

Anne,

try e-mailing Stefan Hund direct explaining you're not getting a reply. I don't mind you saying you got his e-mail from me given the problems you're having.

His e-mail is stefan.hund at coleman.nl
