For anyone who hasnt got the message about Delta pegs.....

Polycotton tent,

No sig,

Tarp over the front of the tent as a canopy

Much wind.

A huge guest of unexpected wind took down our tarp that was being used as a canopy that did NOT have Deltas.

The fibreglass poles bent further than I thought they could without breaking and we thought the tent was going to take off !

But the tent was not without Deltas and she stood strong.

So if you think Deltas are a little expensive or not necessary think again... they really are the mutts nutts,

'mutts nuts'

Thanks Angie, talking about poles bending, here's a photo that a gentleman sent me a little earlier in the year. Looked a bit blowy . He did say that he would have lost the tent if it wasn't for Delta pegs.

Hi Rob
Did you get email about Deltas and rock pegs?

---

Blimey that IS a bit blowy lol

For the first time ever I thought the tent was a goner !!!

And as it is a cheapo Obelink tent i didnt expect the poles to hold out.

Luckily they did ... just had a soggy tarp on the floor lol

Sorry to hear you have been unwell Rob, hope you are ok now :)

Man flu? lol

Where can I hide lmao

Hi Angie,it was man flu actually but only a mild form.
I got away with three blood transfusions and a steam clean.

---

 

Hope you dried between all your bits after the steam clean lol

I mean toes and stuff for the dirty minded !!!

We were lucky, we survived intact !

Lucky really considering that the tent is a cheapie Obelink polycotton thing and their stuff has, apparently, questionable quality but we were pleasently surprised and more than happy with our cheapo second hand tunnel :)

Hubby refuses to  camp under poly now and we got a few poly tents including a brand new weathermaster ... MEN !

Angie

Sam,hope you managed to salvage your tent! even with the cover the vehicles gave (if any) that's one hell of a knock down.

in all honesty,--------- how can people hope to have peace of mind even when they purchase what is thought to be a respected make and that happens? perhaps your pic should be sent to KHYAM!

again "Delta's" show there worth,a product that I and many more endose to the full.
