Mine does have a strap, but I've found I need to use two, one mid way and one at the fat end to get it tightened down enough.
Saying that I've not had it out apart from the once when I got it so I'm sure the pack up will become more and more concise the more I use it.

Would a drop of WD40 help the button mechanism?

I just put it up found out I have no strap to hold it together and no clip for porch pole either on this brolly

Wd40 can really be bad for some types of plastic. It's also not a lubricant, something like a silicone spray might be better.

Of course AND Folk need to accept that
with ANY mass produced item`s there will be a % of faulty ones as nothing EVER produced by any manufacturer will be 100%
AND thats why you have Guarantees

Ffs how hard is it to wrap a brolly up?
I haven't used the strap for months, the bag is plenty big enough to get the brolly in just wrapped up, and I put a couple of lightweight tarps in there to use as a groundsheet too.

Viktor ?? no need for shyte ?
Rob has possibly owned this shelter LONGER than anyone else on here
and I would guess ACTUALLY USED IT so much more on a weekly basis over a few seasons so is well qualified to give his opinion
unlike some that have commented that DONT EVEN OWN the shelter

Feel it's valid. He may have owned it longer than anyone and be well versed. But saying that people must be an idiot because they can't wrap it tight enough and that the bag is big enough without considering people may not want to use the bag and just store it as is in a quiver makes him come off a bit of a sausage I must say. A whole lot of gas for absolutely no reason. On a par with those that don't even own it like you say.

Fair enough if you want to stick it in a quiver, but there's always the risk of damaging the material or bending something.
Personally I always use the bag, you're carrying pegs etc anyway and I just find it a lot easier that way.
@Gerry, maybe I'm doing something wrong as think it's a great bit of kit. I'm sure there are a few duds knocking around though like with anything else that's ever been made - that's when the retailer proves their worth.
Personally I wouldn't be contacting anyone about a missing strap. I bought a load of velcro straps off Amazon ages ago as they're so useful, big packs work out about 30p each.

No one is contacting them about a strap if you read the posts it's just one of the things no strap no porch pole clip and a catch that does nothing use screw driver to release it and other person side poles to long starting to add up do you think
Haven't even got to zipping front on yet hope that's ok
I know there are a lot of people that are happy with it I just wondered could they have changed the factory got a cheaper deal so able to sell cheaper so maybe this batch are not as good
