Mego Boxed POTA Treehouse Capture Carry Pole question

[Mr Mego]

Hello all,

I had 1st Mego boxed Treehouse last about 8-9 yrs, can't remember how long sized Capture Net Carry Pole is.

Last night I made one that's very close it's original, it has slight short and slight over sanded, I threw it away.... I found a new long wood, I can make it as original. I need to know what size it is and how narrow round pole before I'll trimming tip off and brushing it with wood stain, to matches it's original color. Please post pics here for me to see them. I dunno math well, post pic with ruler will helps.

Thank you for help,

Pat

I guess no one has it yet... I found one on ebay with POTA playset. I marked red square, to showing you that's what I need to know what size is.

Please help me.....

Sorry for the bad pics.The capture pole is 8 inches long by aproximately 3/16 to 1/4 inch round.

[Mr Mego]

Thanks bro! I'll edit bottom pic in my photo shop to adjust it to make looks better. I'll let you know if it's not working well.

I need another pic with ruler at "1" inch back with that round pole so I'll understand it clear.

[Mr Mego]

Oh, I forgot ask ya a question, what color is your pole? How dark..? LMK so I can brushing my new one with wood stain and clear coat, to matches yours original color, thanks.

It is dark.If you buy some stain,buy the Dark Mahogany color and 1 or 2 coats with that,then clear coat,that will match the original.I'll post a better pic of the 1/4 round measurement later.

[Mr Mego]

Thanks for great infor. I took many pics of 2 different sized new poles, one is thin and one is slight large stem.

I'll buying like ya said "buy some stain the Dark Mahogany color and 1 or 2 coats with that,then clear coat". Where it's available at Home Depot or Lowes's Lumber Store?

I'll editing my pics in the photo shop tonight. Thank you for will post a better pic here later, take your time.

• This is a pic of 1 inch on a ruler,from left to right side.The blue line is 1/4 of an inch.That is the round size of the pole.

If you are making this from scratch,then thats the measurement you want it to be.They do sell 1/4 inch wooden round rod at most hardware stores though if you want to buy a piece of it,it will save you some time and its pretty cheap.Hope this helps.

Yep,you can get it at either place and you can also get a piece of the 1/4 inch wooden round rod at either store too.Then all you have have to do is cut that at 8 inches,stain and then clear coat and then you are done.

Perfect instructions, Piecemaker--I was about to post 1/4 by 8-inch dowel, but you've done it so much better.

[Mr Mego]
