Hi there
A couple of weeks ago we lost our 12 man family tent in a caravan fire. Weeks earlier I had bought a huge tent footprint to use as a shelter but last night I won an auction for an outer flysheet for the tent below.

All I really need now is the tent poles as for now I'm not that bothered about the pods. If I can get them in the future that will be a bonus but as money is tight, its not an urgent need.
Do any forum members know what sized poles I need for this tent, and also if possible, where I can find a copy of the tent instructions. The thickness of the poles are 8.5mm and 11 for the door/porch.
The outer flysheet and the footprint combined only cost very slightly over twenty quid so I'm hoping that I might even be able to get a load secondhand and make my own out of the sections.
The only real problem I can see is the length of the poles that hold the tent up to its standard height. Is there some sort of height chart available for dome tents that shows you the length to height ratio.
Cheers Neil
