my boat has snap on covers already with poles so i just cut a hole in a tennis and put it on the end so it wont poke a hole in the cover and it has a rubber foot on the pole that go's on the boat floor . so it should work with one that has a rubber foot !

As I said in the past the cover get bigger with the past . so get the smallest one that will fit then it wil "grows" Add snap on then you are ok

I use the supports that came with the play pen cover for the boat. We first connect the play pen cover to the boat, then drape this blue cover over the top of that. My boat is 24 foot and it stretched from the front deck all the way back enought to cover the motor. Once you have it stretched out tie it down to the frame of the trailer. Then crawl back in under the play pen cover and place your poles in the area of your boat as needed to keep the cover tight. I had to drill holes in my poles so I could place pins in the poles to keep them from sliding down cause with this cover and the snow we had earlier in the year the weight pushed the poles down. Since we drilled the holes into the poles for teh pins we have never had any problems. We also us our bimi top lifted 6 inches up with the cover over the top of that which helps for water to run off easier. You will by doing it this way have a small opening on both sides of the boat in the aft area both on port and stern sides, but only one should have any type of access to the boat, by way of about a 1 foot tall by 2 foot long opening is all I have on my stern side which if you tie it down correctly no one should bother your boat.Hope this help you out and good luck with the boat.

Phyllis: I have the BAFX poles sold by Amazon, $25.25 for two, and these tips fit fine. However, the poles have small metal tips, and the original rubber tips are drilled so that the metal comes through. The pack of 10 does not have the holes. I guess I could easily drill them if I want. With the metal tip exposed, I think the original rubber tips will last a long, long time.

I would email Black Diamond. They are very good at getting back to you. Note that Leki's tip protectors are about $10/pair more, but Leki does say that their tips "... are designed to fit over the ends of LEKI trekking poles and other comparable manufacturer's poles..." It will depend on your style pole. And I always use alcohol to put them out by wetting the inside because they are a quite tight fit.

it just a standard pole that you cut to fit. I had a tent with an 6 piece pole and was able to substitute it just fine.

Contact the seller and ask them if you could sell you a few piece-meal? That, or give the manufacturing company a phone call.To keep the elastic flexible, one should keep the poles extended and not folded up when not in use. You may or may not already do this.

I can't get the fitting foot ring to slide down the post. I tried WD 40 and it still won't go past a few inches. In the illustration it is about halfway between the seat bottom and the base. What should I do?

There are support bars. I live in upstate NY and my cover has held over a foot of snow. Good product. Easy install.

Amazon sells windscreen/pot stands that work with these. They are around $15.

You slip the supports in the top of the poles. Then the cover itself has bungee balls that slip through grommets in the tarp and attach it to the fencing material.

If you bolt it in place, a vice should work nicely -- the wood appears strong enough to support. I may install one in the future.

Hi Alan, you don't need your old poles - mine came with new poles that I just fastened to the old base frame. This has lasted really well so far, lots of heavy use and no damage. Cheers, Mark

There are many tutorials on the net. Try this site since it seems to be complete on fit and how to adjust.http://www.backcountryedge.com/video-how-to-adjust-your-trekking-poles-for-a-proper-fit.aspx#

Just slip over top of wheels and pull sides down, then the elastic around back of cover holds it in place. You can also secure bottom using your own bungee between the two grommet holes .
