G'day Fred,

I have just gone and measured these and the diameter of the inner pole holes is 4-5mm for the 6.9mm - 9.5mm sizes and 6-7mm for the 11mm and 12.5mm sizes.

You may be able to get 2 shock cords through if they are thin enough but may be pushing it, the larger sizes could fit 2 or 3 if they were thin.

G'day Josh,

Yes they can, you can cut them to length with a fiberglass hacksaw blade.

G'day John,

Yes, you can use these kits to make whatever pole length you'd like, and you can purchase as many kits as you need to get the job done.
Each segment is 65cm long, so just work out the total length you need and divide it by the segment length. 
That will tell you how many segments you need, and therefore how many kits to get.

G'day Gerry,

The poles come in lengths of approx 69-70cm in a four-pack which make a total length of 240cm when they are joined.

G'day Gary,

You probably can but it will depend on the attachments on your tent as to whether it will take the larger poles. You'll also need to change over all the poles as the ferrule - the metal bit between the poles, will need to match up between each pole.

G'day Cathie,

The Duraplus poles are a fibreglass shaft with a plastic wrap over the top to prevent them from splintering so I can't see it being a problem mixing them with standard fibreglass poles. The flex might be slightly different than your current poles but it's hard for me to say for certain whether this will cause any issues or not. We haven't had any negative feedback that I know of so I think you'll be fine. 

G'day Claire,

In order to make use of both pole tips with the poles provided in the kit, you'd need to trim one of the poles with a hacksaw. Make sure you use a new blade so the cut is nice and smooth. I also use a piece of electrical tape wrapped around the pole as a cutting guide and it also helps stop the pole from splitting at all as you cut. 

Hi Kat,

Sorry for the delay in response here. The Elite Villa has undergone a few changes over the years, but based on a little research in various user manuals (you can find them online), it looks like they all use 11mm poles. You'd have to buy a generic 11mm pole kit such as these Duraplus kits and either replace the broken sections or make up a new pole from scratch, they are not available as a complete part.

Once again, sorry for the delay in our response.

G’day Rod,

Oztrail currently has three Single Shower tents available which you can have a look at here. The Oztrail Pop Up Ensuite, and the XL Privacy Suite have a steel sprung frame so you can't use the Duraplus pole kit with either tent. 

The Oztrail Ensuite Dome features steel poles, so again this kit won’t be compatible with that toilet tent, unfortunately. 

G'day Ruth. Thanks for the question.

This particular pack includes 4 poles that when assembled stretch out to a maximum of 2.4 metres, with each section 65cm long. Inside the bag is Shock Cord which is threaded up through the poles to keep them tidy and together for when you pack them away. If you want to go longer again you can simply purchase a second kit and keep adding on to the length until you reach your desired length.

The poles are available in 6 sizes depending on your tent requirements, ranging from 6.9mm up to a whopping 12.5mm.

Cheers!
