My little cheap coffin tent, much adapted is OK for the type of overnights I do.
However I have had to replace the 8mm fibre glass pole twice and am now due to do so again.
Not hugely expensive and not uncommon in any quality of tent from what I read in many, many reviews.
So, my question is, if I were to purchase aluminium poles, would I need to buy a pre formed arch,
or would the thinner straight tubing bend into an arch easily without kinking.
Or should I just replace the fibre glass as is and carry the repair splints and gaffa tape as per normal.
