FAQ’s Part 1: TT-02 ROOF TENTS – STORM POLES
We thought it would be a good idea to post some answers to those FREQUENT QUESTIONS that we may have missed off the instruction manuals!
1st Up – STORM POLES:
Q. What is the EXTRA POLE I found loose in my tent?
A. This is a STORM POLE – a useful 2x ended pole we give our lucky customers as a FREE GIFT!
It’s designed to fix into the tent, between the roof support hoops to add some extra strength to the ROOF above the ANNEX Room.
STORM POLE is not needed in normal use, only for very wet or snowy conditions!
How does it work?
Simply clip one end of the STORM POLE to the U Shaped Aluminium hoop above the ladder (holds up the roof above the annex room), then extend the pole so that the other end is resting just above the main entrance into the tent, then lock the pole in place.
The storm pole should then act as a ridge pole to stop the roof from sagging if there is lots of heavy rain or snow.
Alternatively, in really windy conditions you can set the STORM pole between the main roof hoops inside the tent!
