Hi guys,

I just got back from a quick over nighter and put the ultra brolly up to dry it out and one of the ribs had just snapped, on closer inspection 3 more have split and look close to failure as well.
I went on to see if fox had spares and they're out of stock so just wondered if anyone know if the new retreat brolly is the same rib?
I'd bin it but it's only been used around 10 session and the rest of it is mint!
I've emailed fox but they literally never reply to anything anymore 🤷🏼
Thanks in advance

I'm not sure of your brolly specs or design, but if the ribs are just bog standard fibre glass rod you should be able to pick those up easily, as long as you know the diameter.
No need to pay Fox prices for that.

Like this just to give you a idea

There's a fox retreat 60" full system in the classifieds if that's any good to you?

Cheers fella, I'll take a look, but think that the fixing of the pole have bonded or moulded fixings points

Thanks mate, Might well be! Just seems a shame to bin this one for a couple of poles!
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.
