In search of the ellusive Northpole 30-foot party tent

Post by WeeRedLass » Thu Apr 14, 2011 1:32 pm

Hi! Has anyone out there been able to find a Northpole 30-foot party tent canopy for sale? I've been looking for days and everywhere seems to be sold out. Even the manufacturer doesn't have them.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

You know it's going to be a bad day when you jump out of bed and miss the floor.

Any chance anyone knows where I could also find one (or more) of these North Pole party tents?

It looks like Walmart has them for $198.

It says unavailable at this time. They seem determined not to offer them.

they don't make them anymore. Occasionally one turns up on ebay. We found one, put it up in the back yard and a little storm with 45mph winds exploded it. There's a thread with pictures here somewhere. We had staked it down with rebar, but had not used the extra guywire things. Storm was unexpected. If you do get one guy the crap out of it, and continually retighten your ropes etc.

Also, have a back up shade plan.

Hey there, I am looking for one, too, so in case anybody wants to sell one, I would be very happy to buy it.

Thanks
