spike poles on the voyager

[picksbigwagon]

after reading a post about someone having problems getting his canvas over his ice house correctly, it got me to thinking about the spike poles that come with the house. I have only used them twice, once when I was putting it together, the other time was when it was really blowing out pretty hard....the rest of the time I leave them attached under the seats so they don't rattle around. Is it okay to not use those? AM I damaging my house because I don't snap those in? the only poles I use are the two verticle ones up front and 2 of the 4 spreader poles in the ceiling. anyone else know of why I need to use 8 poles when 4 seem to work fine? I am not stupid, if the wind is howling, they are all going in, but if it is calm out, do I need all of the poles?

Thanks

You don't have to use any poles if you don't want to. They are to keep the frame stable with a wind blowing. Without wind, it is whatever works for you. You will not do any damage by not using them.
