I read some recent comments about the freestanding mode for the DR so I thought of having a closer look at that.
I have set it up with the poles before and it worked (in my backyard) but I tried again and yes it is fiddly.
So I came up with a different way of doing it.
You need to undo the current set up. Make a loop that is about 2.5" long on one side and a loop with a Prusik or Taut Line Hitch at the other
You also need to drill a couple of holes into the end of the pole extension. If you don't have the TT pole extension, get a piece of curtain rail from a hardware store and cut that to size. Make sure the tip of your pole fits in..

(not an official mod, just my way of doing things...)
