All good camping shops do pole elastic on a reel, some will even do it for you. If you are doing it yourself get a threader. Measure old elastic mark new elastic. Felt tip pen works well. But don't cut. Thread through new elastic pull until you see the mark. Tie off, fold poles make sure the elastic is not strained. If poles now fold up and stay together when connected you can cut the elastic. Job done

Just as good Shocker, for the length same as, It needs to fold and hold the poles together.  Metal coat hangers getting as rare dobbie horse If at home cotton with a needle tied at one end,the other end tied to the elastic and pull through..

As long as you remember to hold one end,you can suck the elastic through with a vacuum cleaner.

The elastic in one of poles for my Coleman Lakeside snapped about 3 camping trips ago, and I've never bothered to replace it! The pole works fine without - it slots together snugly and the pressure from the side poles holds it in place (the snapped elastic is in a roof pole). However, all tents are different, and this may not be the case for yours. I think the elastic is mainly to keep the pieces of same poles together to save confusion, but if they're colour-coded that's not an issue.

I've seen this on eBay/Amazon but was unsure on whether it would fit. I was concerned that it would be a little too snug. Would you think that it will fit down?

Take a pole section to the shop with you if your unsure what size to get!!
I would think pole elastic would be a universal size...but not sure on that...
