Hi we have a gelert meridian 10 tent with a broken pole and are finding it hard to find the correct replacement part.

I can find fibreglass poles sections the correct size but they are all the wrong colour the only ones i can find the correct colour are called dura wrap does anybody what dura wrap is and is it the correct pole for my tent?

I have been in touch with Gelert and after about 2 months they eventually replied but they was not very helpful.

Many thanks for any help.

Jason.

Contact a gelert selling retailer. They'll either be able to get spares access (hopefully) or know what your other options may be.

Either BCH Camping in Trowbridge or Outdoor mega store appear very knowledgeable and helpful, and have been in business for a long time and will likely know your tent..

All I know that durawrap poles are used with outwell tents, maybe you can get someting compatible or cut to size, I would go to a decent camping store or if on a good day go outdoors.

Or ask a gelert dealer, they may have more specifics on what you need or a spare set from a tent return........I managed to get a complete extra new inner tent, steel poles and fibreglass poles thrown in simply as it was the last tent and they had this extra bag left...you never know.

I've always found TentSpares very good for poles and advice etc. Perhaps give them a call and see what they say, or they'll certainly advise on a suitable generic replacement.

Durawrap poles as used by Outwell have criss cross reinforcing on the outside of the pole to give it extra strength

Experience enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again.
Everything has been said before, but since nobody ever listens we have to keep going back and saying it all over again and again and again
