Freedom Trail Sendero 4 Tent Pole Repair Pack

The Freedom Trail Sendero 4 Tent Pole Repair Pack consists of 2 x 11mm, 2 x 9.5mm and 1 x 8.5mm black fibreglass pole sections all fitted with a metal joining/end ferrule, a pole threader which is a steel wire with a sharp hook on one end, used to re-thread pole elastic and 1 length of elastic which measures 4 metres and will stretch to 7 metres approximately.

Usage: Ideal as an emergency repair kit or to replace broken sections within a pole run. Replacement fibreglass pole sections are supplied at a length of 68.5cm (including ferrule) so you may need to cut them to size with a junior hacksaw.

How to use:

Disassemble the current pole assembly as follows:

1. Hook the elastic holding pole sections at the end nearest the broken section and pull out so knot can be undone (or if necessary cut off).
2. Release the elastic and pull back through pole sections to the broken section taking care to keep the pole sections in the correct order.
3. Remove damaged section.

Reassemble poles as follows:

1. Replace broken section with new section.
2. Using a length of wire fixed to the end of the elastic (e.g. using tape) feed the elastic through all the poles in the correct order and re-knot at end.
