Hi,

I recently purchased a kalahari porch off Ebay from alchemist for the bargain price of £22. Problems with it were because it had no poles and there was a tear in the roof.

Fortunately the tear is extremely minor and has already been patched. However, I was wondering if anyone else had trouble finding suitable poles? Or if they used normal poles and made them fit which ones?

Cheers in advance

Al

Hi and welcome
Think genuine metal poles for the porch are pretty much impossible to get hold of but for a start you could try Go Outdoors as HiGear are their own brand its also the same design as the old style Gelert Corvus porch so you could try Gelert but I wouldnt hold your breath

Worth keeping an eye on this ebay seller (as well as alchemist), they sometimes have poles etc.

You never know you may spot some poles for your porch pop up.
