Hi I wonder if anyone can help

I have the above tent and need a new zip in groundsheet and a set of poles, no one has any zip in groundsheets for this tent and I have been quoted over £300 for the poles. Can anyone tell me where I can get a cheaper set of poles and a new groundsheet?

 

thanks

I would say for a new set of poles for the BL6 that's about right, possibly erring on quite good. Looking at the price of the BL6 next year anyway.

You only other option is try and get some second hand ones on eBay

I'd edit or re-post your topic making it clear you're after a set of poles and ZIG for your BL6. There's a Go Outdoors manager on UKCS. If he sees it he *might* be able to source something from his returns stock. Most of their stores I've been in have a pile of various bits n bats in a corner somewhere. You might just strike lucky.

What happened that you need such replacements ?

My advice is worth no more than the price paid for it

Hi Mike

 

Thanks for the advice, I got given it from a friend and thought it might be easy to get poles etc, didn`t realise it would be this difficult!

It's not like a car where new tyres or an exhaust or a windscreen would be readily available, and at competitive prices. The tent is supplied complete with poles and ZIG as essential component parts and whilst *in theory* Outwell (via a dealer) would supply replacements their price is not cheap, hence the eBay or superstore suggestions. There just isn't the demand or supply of these bits n bats. Hope you get fixed up. It's a great tent and we're off to France in June with ours. Can't wait
