My tent pole had snapped. Not good. It was a tent I liked a lot and wanted to use for Glastonbury.
What to do?
It’s not really possible to buy spare parts for old tents. I even bid on a few second hand versions of the same tent on Ebay so I would have some spares.
But I learnt that you could buy long tent poles. After buying the wrong width initially (its quite hard to know if your poles are 7.9mm or 8.1mm without having them with you in the shop), I bought a new pole
My broken tent pole
I cut the new pole to the right length.
I bought a threader to help get the elastic through the tent.
And it worked. Yippee.
Much easier and cheaper than buying a new tent.
