What is the best (cheapest) place I can buy 4 sets of replacement tent pole kits from?

Many thanks.

11mm diam, not sure on the length yet. Got a tent that had no poles, borrowed some from a friend but waiting for the rain to go away so I can measure the length.

Sometimes you'll find a set of poles on ebay.  Worth a look to see if there's any for your particulary tent.  Which tent is it, it could work out as being very expensive if you have to make a set yourself.

found some online for £6.99 11m by 7m which is more than enough, elastic cord is about £4 per kit so not that expensive really and pegs are 13p each. Bargain!

Thanks for your help Kate

Thanks, the website and the poles both get good reviews. I've bought about 6 spare sections so i've got some extras should some break. All in all for 4 sets of poles totalling 26 meters plus 2 sets (26m) of shock cord plus rock pegs and angled pegs (total of 50 pegs) plus mallet and peg remover and dog leash spike it came to £55. including postage. So I don't think thats too bad considering I know have a pretty decent tent for £55. :)

Now all i need to do is go camping with it!
