We were breaking camp on Sunday morning and had pulled some of the tent pegs out when I noticed some damp spots in side the tent. Decided to let them dry out and went back to sit by the fire. Shortly afterwards we had a severe windgust and the Oztent Ranger(30 second tent) blew over and twisted as it was still anchored by some pegs. The result was that the alloy locking arms on the side of the tent had snapped off and one had broken in pieces.

After looking at the prices on Oztent website I figured it would cost me about $50 plus freight to get the parts delivered.

I went down to the local hardware store and bought 2 lengths of 5mm flat steel for $9. Measured and drilled the holes, rounded the ends, undercoated and painted the bars and fitted it all together again. AHA!!.......It works. Feeling quite pleased with meself lol
