I think it was Tykey's poles I missed out on 'cos I couldn't establish which awning size and poles we needed 'til our first trip down lol!

Ok I rang Bradcot and you can buy everything you need from them.  They do replacement grey slider/clip assemblies and poles so ring them, don't email them.

Hi Tracy,

Sorry to hear about your bad experience on Ebay.

If it is of any help, we too have a Bradcot Classic with alloy poles, 2 of which were bent beyond repair in a freak gust of wind [not man made,lol] while taking it down. I contacted Bradcot who advised us to contact A1 Awnings for the spares [I think these must be their favoured aftersales supplier]. We have also ordered a new skirt from them as well after having the awning lengthened, not the original blue to match the awning as that was not cost pro-hibitive.

Telephone Number: 01446 775029

Cannot locate a web site for them though.

Regards Grahame

I think you're right about the Ebay link, but as you have said they seem to have stopped trading on there. Maybe Ebay costs were too much for them.

As far as I know they are still trading, but as the email I received from Bradcot referring me to them was in November last year I can not guarantee it.

A1 used to have a website as I have looked for spares on there before now and then ended up buying them from their shop on ebay. Can't find it now though so it certainly looks like they may have ceased trading. Does anyone know?

Shame if they have folded - I bought a bargain porch awning from them and have had a couple of spare brackets for my active awning. It's always reassuring to know there is somewhere you can easily get spares from if the worst happens!

As I said earlier, Bradcot themselves offer poles and clips direct.  I rang them after we went to the van the other day and he gave me prices for various parts.  You need the serial number which should be on the pole or canvas bag.
