What this listing puts on record

A fibreglass tent pole repair set at 7.9 mm by 65 cm, with shock cord and emergency fixings, described as compact and light enough to carry in a rucksack or with the camping kit. The listing states it is intended to repair damaged fibreglass tent poles, from a small crack to a full break.

The two numbers that matter, and they are both here

7.9 mm and 65 cm. Diameter first, section length second — the order this family is chosen in.

7.9 mm is the narrow end of the range. It belongs to smaller and lighter shelters, and it is the size where a millimetre of error means a ferrule that will not close.

What is not counted

No section count. No total length. The set is a repair kit rather than a pole, and the listing never says how much of a pole is in it.

That is the difference between this and the two fibreglass sets beside it, which publish nine sections at 60 cm and ten sections at 60 cm respectively. Those can be matched to a run. This one has to be opened first.

Made to be carried

The listing puts real emphasis on the pack size, and for a repair set that is the correct emphasis. A spare section at home is a spare section that was not there when the pole went.

The fixings are a blank

Emergency fixings, named and not described. A tent corner takes either a ring and pin or a cone into an eyelet, and this listing does not say which of the two the set answers.

    yourGEAR FRP repair set, 12.7 mm, ten 60 cm sections, ring-pin and eyelet ferrules

    A full rebuild kit that names both tent corner systems and defines its 12.7 mm as the metal ferrule diameter plus two millimetres.

    Outer diameter
    12.7 mm — stated, and the listing defines it as the metal ferrule diameter plus 2 mm rather than as a measurement across the tube; it calls this a standard size among tent makers
    Section length
    60 cm — stated, and the listing states the sections can be shortened with a fine saw
    Section count
    Ten fibreglass sections — stated
    Total assembled length
    Not published on the listing — the set is sold as sections to be joined to whatever length is needed, and no total is given
    Material
    Fibreglass, given as FRP — stated
    Shock cord diameter
    Not published on the listing — ten metres of pole elastic are supplied and no diameter is given
    Ferrule fit
    Two end ferrules for ring-pin systems, four ring-and-pin pieces, and four conical end ferrules for eyelet systems — stated; both tent corner systems are covered
    Amazon reference
    B096G1P6RL (same reference on 4 Amazon marketplaces)
    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.

  • Campfrei pair of repair sleeves for fibreglass tent pole sections

    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.

    Outer diameter
    Not published on the listing for the sleeve itself; what is stated is the pole it accepts — fibreglass rods of 9 to 9.5 mm diameter. The two are different measurements and only the second is given
    Section length
    Not published on the listing — no sleeve length is given
    Section count
    Two sleeves supplied — stated; these are joints, not pole sections
    Total assembled length
    Not published on the listing, and not applicable to a connector
    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
    Amazon reference
    B0CKTM8X3P (same reference on 5 Amazon marketplaces)
    EAN
    4001542558406
    • 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.

  • Hummelladen black fibreglass tent pole sections with end fittings and elastic cord

    Hummelladen fibreglass pole, 9.6 mm, nine sections, 5.5 m, shortenable

    The longest assembled pole in this hub, published with the one figure nothing else here gives: the smallest circle it can be bent into.

    Outer diameter
    9.6 mm — stated
    Section length
    About 60 cm per section — stated
    Section count
    Nine — stated

    About 5.5 m — stated
    Material
    Fibreglass — stated, and described as glass strands set in resin, lighter than aluminium or steel and immune to corrosion
    Shock cord diameter
    Not published on the listing — an elastic cord is supplied and stated to be much shorter than the assembled pole so its tension holds the sections together; no diameter is given
    Ferrule fit
    Two end pieces are supplied, with a steel threading aid — stated; the listing does not name a ring-and-pin or eyelet system
    Amazon reference
    B09TFHLVP9 (same reference on 5 Amazon marketplaces)
    EAN
    4059301299169
    • 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.

    WAN2TLK seam sealer, 120 ml in two bottles, with five seam tapes and a brush

    • Canvas rather than nylon, which is the right face for an awning, a parasol or a cotton-blend tent
    • One long 8 by 160 cm strip, so the patch is cut to the tear rather than the tear fitted to a patch
    • No coating named for the adhesive, so a silicone-coated flysheet is an unanswered question

    Best for: Canvas and cotton-blend awnings, parasols and covers, where the patch has to be tough and matching the coating is not the issue.
