I bought this extension at the end of last year along with the tent and carpet.

On my first outing a couple of weeks.On erecting the extension it had several smallish holes in the roof part (about twelve in total).I mended them with the strip which was in the tent that did the job.

On my return i rang yeomans who advised me to email customer services which i did to no avail it was over a week ago now.

Does anyone know Outwells email address so i can try and get this sorted

   Thank you Mark

Outwell will just refer you back to the supplier, Give Yeomans another call and follow up with a second e-mail.

No don't think it was to do with the poles

 It just seemed like the material was a darker shade of green with floors in it

and holes. Outwell with no email number about is very disappointing

        Thanks for replies.

There is a contact facility on the website here:

http://www.outwell.com/en/Community/Contact.aspx

The contact I have had with Outwell service have been excellent, they also helped me out with an issue I had with Yeomans last year but it is right that Yeomans should be your first point of call because you bought it off them and not the manufacturer.

Your contract is with the retailer not Outwell so you should really keep trying them phone if necessary. If you do want to contact Outwell then do so through their facebook page but they will probably refer you back to the retailer as at one time this tent was exclusive to Yeomans and extensions are as rare as rocking horse manure

We had the exact same problem with our extension last year. I phoned them and explained the problem. The sent out a replacement extension within a few days. A courier was ment to collect the faulty extension but this never happened. We now have two extensions!!

Give them a ring and see what they say. I would imagine though that it will be difficult to give you a new one as they have stopped making the extension. You will know yourself, they are like hens teeth!
