The first pic is the uprights, 101" + 5" spike

The second last pic is the ridge pole, 142"

Sorry but my brain still works in imperial........

Thanks Scot.I had made the posts 7ft and the ridge pole 12ft.Hopefully the wind dies down enough to set it up over the next few days.I will then modify to suit.

 Nice pick up Craig,

They are easy to erect and a great size .

Good luck with it , at that price you can’t go wrong.

Cheers,

Mick

you will have to get the bag made up from canvas maker

as they would demand the canvas seperately as a replacement item

this might help
if in doubt ask mil members for dimensions

Tim Vibert at Empire disposals and trading has canvas tarps and tent bags on his website. Quite reasonable too...
