I have a Sunseeker Isodome - in my view one of the best tents for extreme weather conditions. I have however misplaced the tent's poles and have given them up as lost forever. The tent itself is in very good nick and it would be a shame to give it up.

Does anybody know where I can have custom tent poles made up (preferably aluminium but I'll take anything at this stage). Even better does anybody know of a tent that is beyond repair but with a decent set of poles still? Else I'll buy any second hand Isodome thats available.

The last time I ever saw one being sold anywhere was at Hiker's Paradise in Centurion. Perhaps you could check with them if they know a tent manufacturer, or a rep, that may be able to help you.

They certainly were a solid breed of tent. But pretty heavy too. You may want to consider putting the money towards the newer makes that are also strong but at the same time much lighter.

Hope you come right.

Thanks - the last time I was there they had none. I have bought an MSR Hubba Hubba since I needed something light and small - great little tent, but I still need my Isodome for larger groups - I have slept 4 people in it before - tight but can be done.
