Tent pole repair

Slack shock cord, a cracked section, a split ferrule or a broken hub. Poles are the quickest repair in the shop, and you only need to send the poles.

We use DAC poles and parts, the industry standard, so replacement sections match the diameter and strength of the original on tents from REI, Big Agnes, Black Diamond, Exped, Helinox and many others. Shock cord is replaced through the full pole set so the tension is even, and tips, inserts and hubs are swapped for matching parts.

Pack the poles folded in a box or a mailing tube with your repair order number. Do not send the tent body unless it also needs work.

Questions about tent poles

Can you repair a non-DAC pole?

Usually. Most aluminum poles take standard sections and shock cord. Fiberglass poles are often not worth repairing; send photos and we tell you.

How long does a pole repair take?

Poles are typically turned around faster than fabric work, often within a few days of arrival, plus shipping each way.

You guys repaired a black Mountain Hardware shell jacket for me. Both the pit zippers were coming apart. You did an awesome job. The craftsmanship is outstanding. Thank you

I just received back the jacket I sent you for repair. Two things: First, holy moly, that was fast!! Second, you did an amazing job. The repair is unrecognizable as a repair, just perfect, and the zipper runs smoother than I recall it running even when new.
