I’m not sure about the bars/tent hoops on a clam but I do know otter has nice adjustable wind poles. It’s under shelter accessories at otteroutdoors.com I’m a otter fan and user
I made dropper bars for my flip over. This not only holds the front down, but the sides as well. On the really windy days i just hold the side bars down with my boots.(Image removed from quote.)(Image removed from quote.)
Sweet idea
also one other note, all of those poles are for 1 1/4" dia poles. The Nanook uses 7/8" poles.
If you own a flip over and are like me, the front bar on my Nanook sits about 4" above the ice no matter what i did to the fabric on the tub. So i decided to design and make my own set of wind poles to stretch the fabric down so the poles actually sits on the ice. Was actually pretty easy and poles came out great. No more hassling with snow on the skirt or something else holding it down on glare ice. No one makes a wind pole kit for all the sections, only the one pole from each manufacturer. The top two sections are too short to be able to use their poles.
any links to source the parts you used?
any links to source the parts you used?we've been using conduit couplers for the longer poles. the end clips we buy from shelter manufacturer.
Oh so sorry , on another note I called clam you can buy the parts and make your own Pretty simple , made a set few years back

Has anyone made a pole for the back of the shack, or used one? I think Clam makes one with a stud end to go into the top of the sled and connects to the bar above and behind your head as you sit. I was thinking of getting one for windy days when I've got my Kenai pointed away from the wind, there's quite a bit of flap going on behind me. I thought a pole with a slight outward bend would work best to remove the slop, but I see the adjustable one Clam sells is straight, though I suppose it has to be mainly straight to be adjustable.
i use mine on my nanook every time i set up. It helps a lot. Clam is pretty proud of their poles, and the shipping is a killer. Even their smallest pole is $22+ to get it mailed to you. I have had enough guys message me that Ill pry offer a replacement pole kit for various shacks. I didnt really make mine for wind though, more to get the darn front hoop pole to rest on the ice. Something a lot of folks fight.
do you think it's shrinkage or just poor design? if it's shrinkage maybe the poles could be used to stretch it back out over time. maybe it needs to get wet and then sit them up to stretch it out.
little of both. The did not make the fabric long enough, combine that with material shrinkage and its causing the bar to sit 4-6" above the ice on most that I have seen. Some guys have left them set up on hot days but that is only a temp cure until it gets cold again. I am able to use the pole set to get it on the ice now every time.
