I haven't doe this yet. But I am thinking about using fiberglass driveway markers on my flip-over instead of the poles that came with my two-man Eskimo shelter. I have broken a couple plastic clips trying to get them over the poles. I was thinking of drilling a small hole in one side of the tent poles, then using a tapered punch to open and roll the hole larger and then inserting the driveway markers in the holes to keep the poles apart. Driveway markers come in 4 ft lengths and I would most likely need to cut them to the length I need and taper the end that is square so it will fit in the hole. These might even reduce some weight of the original metal poles.
