Batten

[R. Thompson]

I was hoping that someone would have the measurements (including thickness) for the Hunter 240 Battens. I have read all the posts about securing them in place and will try out a couple when I can replace the ones recently lost.Thanks

Buy the 5/16 inch wide batten mateial

You can order batten material in a 12 foot length and cut it to size. When you do, round off the edges. Check with the HOW chandlrey if they can get you a 12 foot section. If not, let me know and I will direct you in the right direction.Crazy Dave Codnon

Any luck with batten specs.?

R. Thompson,Did you ever find out what the specifications were for the battens on your H240? I lost my top 2 during a race recently - the topping line snagged the velcro straps and they popped out.So, I too am looking for the length measurments.Any help would be appreciated.Charlie"Good Medicine"
