Coughlan's Tent Pole Repair Kit

A good set of parts to repair tent poles. This includes everything but the poles themselves, (approx 11 feet of elasticated shock cord, 2 1/2 feet of wire, 6 washers and 2 ferrules) This set does not include the tips which are requried on either end of some tent poles. The ferrules can be used as the ends for tents that have a pin to hold the poles No instructions are enclosed, so this will be difficult to use for your first attempt. The enclosed ferrules can be used to extend a pole set, or replace a lost / dented ferrule. Place the ferrule on one end of a pole segment, it can be left on 'loose' but is best knocked into place with a soft mallet To replace the elastic shock cord: 1)ensure the pole is clear of any mud etc (use the wire through the pole to poke out any obstructions) 2)Unless the cord is secure on its winder tie a washer to the end 3)you may be able to feed the cord through some poles on their own, but to make it easier pass the wire into the pole and twist the cord on the end of the wire 4)once a few pole segments have been threaded onto the cord it will need to be tensioned, pull it quite tight through most of the poles so far, wind it around a pole to maintain the tension. Temporarily tape it in place 5)When complete secure the cord with a washer on either end, before cutting the cord ensure their is sufficient cord to allow you to fold the poles and assemble the poles with a small amount of tension.

Economico e semplicissimo da usare: in poco meno di mezz'ora ho costituito l'elastico di uno dei pali della mia vecchia tenda Bertoni. Dato che la tenda ha più di 15 anni trovare un palo nuovo della misura giusta era problematico, oltretutto la struttura del palo era ancora in ottime condizioni (a parte l'elastico interno che si era rotto). Questo kit consente una riparazione efficace e veloce. Non sono comprese le istruzioni, ma é davvero intuitivo: basta infilare il fil di ferro nella bacchetta del palo, fare un piccolo cappio attorno all'elastico e ritirare il fil di ferro attraverso il paletto. Consigliato.

El producto llegó en tiempo y forma tal y como se indicaba. El contenido es de calidad, me fue muy útil para reparar una varilla de una casa de acampar y evitar comprar otra.

I had to replace shock cord in very narrow poles. The kit did not work as directed because the openings at the ferrules were simply too narrow. I was able to use a darning needle threaded to the wire provided and pull the shock cord through. I could not find any shock cord with this small a diameter anywhere online. I was grateful to find this kit. Instructions are good. This is a basic kit that belongs in any repair kit for wilderness camping.
