Falteimer folding cube - fibreglass leg replacement?

[arborlicious]

My Falteimer cubes took a direct hit from 14oz throw bag the other day breaking one of its internal fibreglass 'legs'. A bit annoying now that it won't stand up straight.

 

I have not had a close look yet but seeing if anyone has successfully replaced broken bit with new fibreglass rod on the side/corner. Might need some hand sewing action.

Amazing the little details that go into these Falteimer cubes. Have picked apart the sewing at the top to pull out the fibreglass rods - well at least one of the broken bits. There's a soft plastic bit on the end that I guess protects the canvas from sharper fibreglass.

Hey, please let me know if you find one as the same happened to mine ages ago. I have to stand with it between my legs to keep it open.

Whatever you do, don't let Kevin get a hold of that post!

 

He's just turned my innocent polite enquiry on another thread into a dirty joke.

Are the falteimer cubes even still available?

Apparently.... along with the folding buckets they make

You can get replacement rods for tents, but maybe they would be too thick? Have to epoxy end fittings back I guess.

I'd hope so! The quality Vs stein and other versions pays for itself. Mine are over ten years old!

Never had a leg break but are you could pick up a fiberglass rod of the same diameter. If not maybe worth contacting whoever makes them?

This might be too narrow a width but I’m sure you’ll find a thicker alternative if you have a poke around
