Hubba Hubba Cross Pole Strength

After only a few nights in my hubba hubba I noticed the crosspole to have a downward bend. The tent has since seen about 10 to 15 nights in various conditions since I first noticed the bend. It hasn't gotten any worse and I'm not too worried about it. Its even held up to an unexpected snow storm that delivered about 10 inches.

Had the same thing happen. They told me it was normal. It does make sense, actually the Fly Creek 2 has similar hubbed poles and they come prebent.My tent went back due to floor leaks in that particular model year.

Of the short pole?

Stick a trekking pole in there from the ground to the grommet that holds in the pole (at the top of the door)

Barry,

Yes, the short pole.

I like your trekking pole idea. I don't carry one but could carry an extra carbon fiber spar to do the same thing. I would only use it on the windy side of the tent if I was experiencing heavy winds.
