Campfrei pair of repair sleeves for 9 to 9.5 mm fibreglass poles

Two replacement connecting sleeves for fibreglass poles, published with the pole diameter they accept and nothing about the sleeves themselves.

Two sleeves supplied — stated; these are joints, not pole sections
Total assembled length

Material
Not published on the listing — the sleeves are stated to be for fibreglass rods, and their own material is never named
Shock cord diameter
Not published on the listing — no shock cord is part of this product
Ferrule fit
The product is itself the ferrule: a connecting sleeve supplied as a pair, stated to replace damaged or worn sleeves on fibreglass poles of 9 to 9.5 mm

  • Publishes the pole diameter it accepts as a range, 9 to 9.5 mm, and tells you plainly to check your own rod first
  • A pair, which is what a rebuild usually needs — sleeves fail next to each other on the same arch
  • The sleeve's own material is never named, on a part whose whole job is to hold two rods in line

Best for: A fibreglass arch whose sections are sound and whose joining sleeve has split, on rods measured at 9 to 9.5 mm.

What this listing puts on record

A pair of connecting sleeves for fibreglass rods of 9 to 9.5 mm diameter, described as replacements for damaged or worn sleeves, intended to restore the structural integrity of tents, awnings, gazebos and other pole-supported outdoor equipment. The listing opens by telling you to check the specific dimensions and diameter of your own rods, and states that the sleeves are simple to install.

What is actually in the packet

Two joints. Not poles, not sections, not a repair splint that slides over a break — the sleeve that two intact pole sections push into.

That is a genuine failure mode and it is not covered anywhere else on this shelf: the rods are fine, the joint has split, and the arch will not hold its line.

The diameter given is not the sleeve’s

9 to 9.5 mm describes the rod it accepts, not the sleeve’s own outer diameter.

That distinction is the reason the first specification line above reads as it does. A sleeve for a 9 mm rod is necessarily wider than 9 mm on the outside, and the listing never says by how much — which matters if the joint has to pass through a tent sleeve.

The instruction at the top is the right one

Measure your own rods first. It is the standing rule of this family, and this is the only listing here that opens with it rather than leaving it to the buyer.

What is never named

The sleeve material. It is stated to be for fibreglass and never stated to be made of anything. The sleeve length, which is the overlap holding two rods in line. The wall thickness, which is what breaks next.

    Best for: Carrying a matched 7.9 mm spare in the pack for a small fibreglass-poled tent, where the break happens far from the car.
