Clam actually makes two adjustable poles that work with 7/8" uprights. One is a short one that only opens to around 34" and the other one opens to 72". Call Clam and tell them what you're trying to do and they will send you what you need. I know because when I tried to order adjustable poles as a "roof suppoet" for my older Jason Mitchell shanty, they sent me the short ones that did not open long enough. When I called them and told them that they misunderstood what I was trying to do and that what they sent me wouldn't work -- they sent me the longer ones free of charge. You can't beat that for customer service.
As you can see, the short poles they sent me are 21" when retracted:
SKU# is 4123 Shelter type is Legend Thermal Price is $19.98 for two, shipping was $11.45
That's the one. Hope it meets your needs.
Hey Ksgoosekillr, thanks for the information on the wind poles. I have contacted clam about the adjustable poles the ones for $9.99 for my Legend and was going to order two of them I do not paying in USD but the shipping for two poles shipped to Calgary AB CDN was $47.00. I would like just to build my own and am having a hard time finding the C-clips which are used to attach the pole to the hoop. Its really to bad Clam does not include theses poles with the flipover when purchased. This will be my first and last Clam anything. Would you have any suggestions what could be used instead of the C -clips. Thanks appreciate this thread.
Fishdude - Go to the shappell website-click on the page for the bayrunners-'C' clips for the bar are $1.50 USD ea.
Most shanties that need windbars come with them anyways..
Did you read what im using these bars for?? Because it has zero to do with wind no shanties come with them.
There is literally a ton of threads all over the net about this issue. Its not just one lemon shanty. Also its not just clam.
I used a 3d printer to make mine to be able to use EMT tube. Unlike all the end fittings on all flip manufacturers who use aluminum thin wall tubing. Mostly because that thin wall tubing is very expensive if you dont buy in bulk.
Just go to your local camper dealer and ask for replacement c clips for a pop up camper they sell the ends you need and they fit the emt pipes that clam uses go to the hardware store and buy the emt conduit it's like 3.95 for ten foot section and make your own
Im beginning to see most of you guys are happy paying more in shipping than for an actual part and are against making anything. Especially something 1/3 cheaper and stronger. Real head scratcher
So, are you for or against people making their own? Not everyone owns a 3D printer (congrats on owning one and using it). Seems others have offered alternative methods to procure a similar brace, or procure the parts if people do not have a printer at their disposal, but you think all of those methods are frivolous. I guess thanks for sharing what you made and shame on others for adding to the discussion.
Seems to me your pushing a sell on here..
actually I havent sold anything nor tried to sell anything. I said if enough guys were interested Id make some. There is no profit to be made on these due to shipping and material costs.
It's only a few Penny's plus the 3d printer cost and the plastic resin and the uv light I have made my own for less than 15 bucks and it was 2 of them they wasn't adjustable just cut to the length I needed for the top , my clam fish trap pro came with the rear pole support
They just don’t get building something for yourself. I don’t have that type of printer and am not that technically handy. But I would build something b4 paying
