Although you might not get a replacement from Outwell (although it's worth a try) it is likely that they'll be able to give you a dimension for that pole.

This website is really good for all sorts of bits and pieces.

Welcome to the forum...first post...yay!

I'll see if I can dig out my tent tomorrow and measure it for you.

I know off the top of my head the diameter is 12.7mm and that if you buy an Outwell pole kit you even get the metal bit that goes on the end of the pole and goes in the tents attachment hole. It's worth buying a kit anyway as then you'll have some spares as the lower sections of the main tent poles are this diamaeter.

The pole is in four sections with a total fibreglass span of 1.75 metres. The sections are pretty much equal in length.

There are two metal ends: one fits into the ring at the front of the tent, the other reduces the diameter to what looks like 11mm (not sure if the pole kit comes with this, but it may do as the main tent poles have such a reducer), this fits in the adjustable holder at the sleeping end of the tent. The reducer overhangs the fibreglass by 50mm making the whole assembly 1.8 metres long.

Hope this helps.

Edit: The adjustable holder at the back of the tent has quite a range so provided you are +/- 25mm to 1.8m you will be fine. Also the photo is there to show the metal pole ends, not the sections (trust me there are four, not three like the photo shows).
