        they are very easy to use in replacing broken sections for dome tents. It saves on purchasing a new pole or junking the tent

                    Works well. You need one per pole to fix. Be sure to check the size carefully. I bought the wrong size the first time; the different sizes are very close.

                                      We have and use a Eureka Timberline and a Eureka Dome tent, both of which have seen many summers and many miles. This pole repait kit replaced a broken part and made the tent like new.

                                              If the poles are maade of fiberglass, you might be able to utilize a fiberglass repair kit if you can match the diameter of the pole. This is for repairs only, it is not a full length pole,

                                              The Solitare uses a 6.3mm pole so the 7.9mm is too large.

                                              The length of shock cord for the the Eureka Fiberglass Pole Repair Kit-7.9mm is 10 ft. The shock cord length can vary depending on the replacment kit, as the longer & thicker pole kits can have shockcords up to 20 ft.

                                            I need 1/4 inch pole kit. Do you have one? Or can I use a replacement pole 5/16th as a sub? Needs to be 5' long.

                                              5/16 is just 1/16" bigger in diameter than a 1/4". You are in a better position to determining if this will work. Are there any fittings that need to have a 1/4" pole only attach to the pole? If not then you can get this kit and replicate the pole sections that you would neeed to get the total length of the pole you need.

                                              As long as you have the brim rods you can measure them on the non metal end. If the diameter is 5/16" then this would work. You could piece in a pole section that would repair the broken one you have and use the shock cord to re shock cord the pole.

                                              The tent pole repair kit comes with shock cord. However if you want just the cord then Backpacking Pole Shock cord Repair Kit would be a better product to order. Refer to item # 21912
