When windy I am concerned about the deflection I observe in the top mounted cross pole of my MSR Hubba Hubba HP tent.
Here’s a link showing the Hubba Hubba (similar pole set-up)so you can see what I mean.
There is a lot of fabric on the sides of the fly to catch wind and most of that strain/load is transferred to the ends of the cross pole. Even with modest (10-15 mph) winds I notice that the cross pole ends deflect downward several inches.
Has anyone noticed the same and/or had the cross pole bend or break?
