Can you put them on the other side of rhe bars? So the fan sucks them tight? Inhave made my own, many times. But was hoping those ends would be easier and a better fit. I would secure them in place with zip ties and foil tape for extra support. I have a ton of old tent poles, sliding some ends on would be nice. They are expensive on ebay, plus I need about 40 Ends. Homebox has the same ones, but they ship from Europe. I found the ends for about $5 for 4 online in Europe. But shipping makes it not worth it. On ebay they are $19.99 for 4. Thats crazy for 4 plastic pieces. Costs pennies to make. I have many tents and all different sizes. So making my own is easier and cheaper. But the ends would make it easier to use all of my extra tent poles. I have made many from Pipe from Lowes, and bent the ends to fit. Problem is, with the metal ends being bent and tents sucking in eventually tents will rip at that spot. I dont want to rip any corners on my new tents. I am in the process of replacing some old tents, leaving me a lot of extra poles. I emailed Forilla tent to see if the will sell me 40 ends. We shall see what they say. Thanks, slow
Have you tried that plasti-dip stuff they use for tool handles? Could make the ends you normally use then dip them maybe even multiple times for a nice tight fit??
