Does anyone know why even though the tent is fibre glass the porch is steel frame? The pack size of the porch is very heavy and wondered if anyone had swapped the steel poles for fibre glass to reduce weight and pack size - thanks

To make it stronger as they are not very good in the wind with Fibre poles

fibre glass poles and a big heavy tent, add in strong winds and it can be a recipe for disaster!
