Hi there

I snapped an old semi rigid pole which has elastic running through it.... where is the best place to buy replacement poles for tents?

 

cheers

Any camping shop will sell pole sections of various sizes & also the elastic, if you need it.

assuming it is a normal black fibreglass one you just need to know the outside diameter and length

it can be a bear to get the elastic through again so ask the shop to show you how to do it and maybe lend you the tool too

It's worth having a look on the towsure website, just make sure that you have got the measurements from the others, hopefully it will be an inexpensive repair.

if you've got a go outdoors nearby they'll repair it for you - we paid the price of the replacement pole section (approx £4) plus £1 for labour.
