BRILLIANCE4U Aluminum Tent Poles Replacement, Fits Both Female and Male Ends, Lightweight Tent Pole Repair Kit, 7001 Series Aluminum Alloy T6 Heated

UPDARE based on longer use.I used this and a pack of 8.5mm slide in pole end tips to repair both poles of a one man tube tent, and I had a full section and a couple of bits left over. These poles worked just fine with the other tips. The pull rod was just stiff enough to thread the elastic cord through. I modified the included directions so that the cut piece was on the end of the poles instead of a full section in so they would fold down into a length similar to what the old set did, but put the cut edge to the inside of the pole. (This was for a 1 man backpacking tent that pack into the space of a full roll of paper towels, so the cut piece a full section in made for an oddly folded pole bundle.) In addition to a hacksaw (I did not have a pipe cutter that small), you need a metal file to knock off the rough edges of the cut. The exiting poles were new, they had just had roughhousing scouts fall on them, so I re-used the elastic cord from the old poles and am keeping the cord provided and packed the other leftover parts with the tent for future use.However, the need for future use on the 4th night (second trip) of camping after fashioning the replacement, when one of the poles snapped about the time I was waking up and trying to decide if I should get up already. As I write this, the foot of my tents is a V, not an arc, and I am searching for a fiberglass pole repair kit in this diameter.

I bought these to replace the failed, splintered main tent poles for my Coleman Red Canyon tent. After struggling to identify the correct OEM replacement kit (despite the part number provided in the tent instructions) as well as finding an OEM complete replacement set, I decided to go with this product.Bottom Line: This set is an excellent UPGRADE to the OEM poles. They do the job and then some.I bought the two pole kit to replace both poles. The instructions are adequate, but may be a little confusing if you try to use their methodology for measuring. If you are replacing the poles on the Red Canyon tent, here's what you really need to know:1) You'll use all the poles. Measuring the OEM poles gave me 238.75"; the pole kit, using the female/female ended configuration, is 240".2) You'll shave a little on the "B" segment, and a bit less on one of the "A" segment (B segment should be cut 1/2" longer than the A section, according to the instructions. Make sure you make your cuts perpendicular to the pole segment for proper fitment - I used a vice and a Dremel with a small cutting wheel.3) You'll need to tie some knots on the ends of the cord, then start feeding the pole pieces in. Make sure you're feeding the poles in the correct order and orientation. Check on each step.4) The lead wire used to feed the cord through each pole segment, as you are building your pole, may get hung up inside the pole - you'll need to make sure the wire is as straight as you can get it.I built these poles this past Friday, and field tested them this past weekend. The hooks on the Red Canyon tent had no issue hooking onto the poles.For anybody looking for replacements for their splintering fiberglass poles, I highly recommend this product.

These did the trick and I successfully set up my tent twice now with these poles. The only concern I have is that the poles now have permanent bends in them where they bend at the peak of the tent. So far that hasn’t been a problem, but normal poles don’t do that so it worries me that these may fail while out camping. I will probably buy a different set of backup poles to keep around in case these do in fact fail. Like I said though, so far so good.

Had to replace the poles on a 25 year old REI tent (exterior poles crossing over the top). The replacement poles were extremely easy to assemble. Luckily I read in another review to cut the bungie cord last, and that is true. I'd add: anchor it before you cut. I used my knee, but a clothes pin would've workedSerendipitously, the poles I was replacing were exactly the same length as the old ones, so no cutting was involved, but I believe a hacksaw would have done the job quite well. My only complaint is that the wire to pull the bungie through has to be crimped tightly around the cord or it won't move through the tube, getting stuck about half way. After a couple of tubes I had to cut the wire shorter, but there was plenty to spare.Simple is better. This is the one to get. The whole process took maybe 35 minutes, 25 for the first one, 10 for the second thanks to the steep learning curve.

I needed two poles 48" to 50" for a trekking pole tent that I didn't want to use trekking poles with. Poles from the manufacturer were about $30 each. I paid under $15 for the 12' kit and had enough parts to make two 49.5" poles without cutting any of the segments. I also have about 2' of shock cord and 3 pole segments left over that I might have another use for.Very Satisfied with this product.

I was surprised when it came with just the parts, as I clearly didn’t read the description well enough! Once I figured out how I needed to assemble it, it was easy. It was thinner than my last pole but it worked. I used all 20’. It’s easier to thread through my tent than my other pole as it doesn’t have metal brackets on the outside to get caught. Seems strong. I’m happy with it!

Cheapest one i found and I got it within half inch of the old ones length with different sized pieces. Very durable seeing as it was set up for months in my hunting blind with no issues at all and didnt retain the curve like most seem to.

We have 20 year old Kelty 7'x7' tent (Costco purchase) with fiberglass poles. Probably used it a 12 - 24 times over the past 20 years. Pulled it out to set up before a campout and noted that one of the fiberglass poles had broken. Research replacements on ebay (etc) for the single pole, and it was less expense to just purchase this set of aluminum poles, which are really an "upgrade". I had a tubing cutter from auto repair (fuel line cutter) which made the job of shortening the poles easy. I ended up shortening one pole from each of the two "sets" about 2". Used it for a 4 night campout thereafter, including one day of 10+ winds, worked like a charm. Would buy again.

I have a dome tent with fibreglass poles that required replacement. These poles were a good length and were easy to assemble. This product does not flex the same as the original poles and I realized this after I assembled it. In one of the pictures from the ad, it shows this pole system on a dome style tent.
