  • The longest assembled pole in this hub at about 5.5 m, from nine sections of about 60 cm
  • Publishes a minimum bend circle of 240 cm, which is the figure that says whether a pole will take your tent's arch
  • The elastic cord has no published diameter, on a pole whose sections are held together by nothing else

Best for: Rebuilding a long tunnel or dome arch from scratch, where the length can be cut back and the bend radius has to be checked first.

What this listing puts on record

A black fibreglass pole of 9.6 mm diameter in nine sections of about 60 cm, giving about 5.5 m in total, with two end pieces, an elastic cord and a steel threading aid. Packed dimensions are given as 64.5 by 10 by 1.5 cm and the weight as about 675 g. The listing states the pole can be sawn shorter with a fine saw, that a 9.6 mm pole of this type will form a circle of at least 240 cm diameter, and that the supplied elastic is much shorter than the total pole length because its tension is what holds the sections together.

A figure the rest of this shelf omits

A minimum bend circle of 240 cm.

Diameter tells you whether a pole enters a sleeve. Bend radius tells you whether it survives the arch once it is in there, and it is the number that separates a pole that fits a tunnel tent from one that snaps in a small dome. This is the only listing in this hub that gives it.

Length you are meant to remove

About 5.5 m across nine sections, and the listing expects you to cut it down. That is the right way to sell a spare: buy long, saw to the sleeve you actually have, keep the offcut.

It also explains the steel threading aid, because a shortened pole means re-threading the elastic.

The cord holds everything and is not described

No diameter. The listing is candid about the mechanism — the elastic is deliberately shorter than the pole so its tension pulls the sections home — and never says how thick it is.

That is the part that perishes. A pole with a slack cord will not stand up, and replacing it means guessing the size.

The end pieces are unnamed

Two are supplied. Whether they take a ring and pin or drop into a webbing eyelet is not stated, and those are the two systems a tent corner uses.

    EAN
    4260635711870
    • The only set in this hub that names both corner systems and supplies ferrules for each
    • Ten sections and ten metres of elastic, which is enough to rebuild an arch rather than patch one
    • The 12.7 mm is defined as a ferrule diameter plus 2 mm, which is not the same measurement as a tube read across with callipers

    Best for: Rebuilding a broken fibreglass arch end to end, on a tent whose corner fitting could be a ring-pin or an eyelet.
