Is this product designed to repair a broken section of tent poles or to replace the entire pole?

The kit includes 4 lengths of pole (to replace the damaged pole(s)), as well as the string to patch in the replacement(s), plus other miscellaneous parts that might be needed. I found I needed to cut the replacement pole, because it was longer than the one that was damaged. But it is working well.

This is used to repair a pole. However if the length is the same as the pole you need to repair it could also be used as a replacement. I used mine to repair a section of one of my poles. I had to cut it a little shorter but it worked great.

They replace your existing poles, and generally have the elastic interior cord included.

I have used this to replace the shock cord in my tent poles and they work great! I have only used about 100 of the 1000 feet so far, so I do not know if it is one piece or not. I'm not going to unravel it to find out. I have read in the comments that it was four 250 foot pieces but this does not bother me since tent poles are usually not longer than 15 to 20 feet. Well worth the price. Get it!

Yes. Basically that is what I did. Now they were a little longer than the original poles on the brand that I used but I was able to take one of the broken original pole and cut off the bad section to make up the difference at the end. I did not shorten any of the new poles, but you easily could. Just remember they are fiberglass and you will itch if you don't adequately protect your skin or eyes when you cut. Though I had many of the original poles break within a few days, none of these Texcport poles have broken since I put them on. Far superior to what was on my original tent.

I believe this is for a 6 pole tent, not a 8 pole tent. There are Velcro straps for 6 poles sewn into the side kits. It was also a foot too short. The sides did not go all the way to the ground.

You have to run the two poles through two inserts on the bottom of the tent. You will see them where the Velcro flaps are. I was also disappointed when I discovered it wasn't a true pop up tent, and felt mislead by the description. Depending on how rough your kids are on the tent, the poles may start to break through the inserts. My two kids go nuts when the tent is out, so ours is already in need of some major sewing to repair the inserts where the poles go.

Tent Pole Technologies will make any size you need. Also check the Rio site for customer service. And Amazon carries replacement parts.

Tabitha,Like Hawkeye said, if the whole piece is cheap enough, I would go with the whole piece. You're really wasting your time and money (travel time) trying to find a replacement part like this. Save your time and energy and go with a new one!

The metal connectors are only on one end of the pole. You cut the end without the metal piece. I used a fine tooth saw and it worked really well.

Yes, very much so. It's coating is top notch stuff. You would need a pole or two most likely though depending on your tent set up

Doesn't matter because it's a TERRIBLE product. Really, the bolt that holds the pole support to the base is glued on and made of plastic. It WILL break off. Save yourself money and headache and don't buy it.

I do not have replacement parts. However you can use Electrical EMT Conduit with slight modification to fix bent or missing poles.

Don't even bother getting factory replacements. they will just break again. Go to http://tentpoletechnologies.com/ and tell them you want replacement ALUMINUM poles for a Solitaire. They will ask you to specify what year. I did this. Cost $50 but worth it since factory replacement poles are $30. The aluminum ones are very nice and come precurved.

It is the smaller size pole used to hold up the flap over the door of a six man dome tent. It may be small enough in diameter to fit in the sleeve of a play tent. I would suggest looking up the play tent online and see what the specs are for the pole that normally comes with it to compare sizes. You can cut the pieces with a hacksaw to customize the length.

probably not, this product is not a miracle product that will be as good as original. this is good for a MINOR fix and not something that needs to be as strong as the original product. use common sense, if you are looking to rig it then try it, if you want to fix it the right way, you probably know what is right and what it wrong.

Ours was totally damaged on the first use and i inquired via Amazon on what could be done. They forwarded my request to WPIC Store-Amazon Marketplace and they offered place an order for replacement parts. We just ordered a new tent instead.
