Hi there,
My daughter needs a replacement pole for her Gelert Horizon 6 tent. It's the one that fits the door canopy. I have checked the Gelert website and had a node around on the internet but cannot find a pole listed specifically to fit this.
Any advice on where to source one will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Mike

You can buy spare poles that you just cut to length... assuming its not a steel pole?
Just measure the diameter and buy one longer than needed and cut it with a hacksaw.
Vango do whole kits, with a few poles, threading tool for the elastic line and a spare elastic line.
Some of the larger chains will even cut one to size for you for free.

Thanks, I have seen the poles mentioned, and have used some to repair my own tent. I have not seen any with the slightly bent metal 'ferrules' (Is that what they are called?) on the end. The ones on the current pole are also damaged and so will need replacing.
Again, any help offered will be greatly appreciated
Mike
