Remember I said that my only complaint with the threaded rods was the time required to screw them together, the thought required to figure out which one goes where, and the hazard of losing one of the rods (which I did)which blows the whole system. Remember that I wished you could get something like the tent poles with the shock cord inside? Well guess what? Wal-Mart has a set of fibreglass replacement tent poles that are just a hair thicker than the metal rods, weigh 1/3rd as much, costs $6.00, and the poles are each 25 5/8ths inches long! (Remember I said that spinets are about 50 3/8ths from left to right bracket) You can either have two 25's, three 16 3/4ths or four 12 1/2s by cutting the poles with a hack saw! The set comes with shock cord and a wire to thread it through the poles. Enjoy! Warren -- Warren D.
