this barronet blind is very nice material and is roomy but the poles are junk .the end that hold in hubs keep breaking .got two new ones and same thing. so if anyone bought one i'm sorry for posting first post.i found an easy way to fix them

Hey what you do is when the materials start breaking down, save the fiberglass rods to use for replacements in the good blinds. A trick I found for helping the cheap rods is wrap with electrical tape. Seems to help. Also, tie the blind sides to trees or bushes so the wind doesn't wrek havoc on the blinds popping in. If you tie them down at the same level as the eye bolts, it really helps. I also use real tent stakes instead of those chincy ones they send with pop ups. Deep stakes.

You know you can take those hubs apart and exchange the rods right?

If they will fit order a set of rods from Primos and replace them with good rods. The ones for the T-2 & Recurve should be the longest.
