          This was the cheapest set of tent poles around and was surprisingly easy to set up with the kit instructions.

            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.

                                    I ordered the incorrect product however [...] I will be reordering in the correct size as the repair kit is a good value for the price. Buyers need to measure carefully.

                                          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.

                                        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

                                        How long is the sock cord in this kit? And how long is the total length of shock cord in the 8.5mm kit? Unsure which to buy for our tent.
