Pole Ferrule Repair Kit, REPAIR

Replacement Ferrules x 5  – 7.9mm / 8.5mm / 9.5mm / 11mm / 12.7mmShock cord x 10 metresYou’ve had the tent a few years, it’s still good for another year but it needs a little TLC.__ Actually, now you come to think of it, didn’t the shock cord snap last year… __ As long the poles themselves are still sound you can fix them. All you need is this handy kit! _ Simply identify where the cord was tied in the broken section, remove it and then thread the new shock cord through, _ making sure to tie the other end in a double-knot so that it holds. __ Here’s How…_ Try to keep the cord as slack as possible by pulling the tautness through and tying it to something (or by keeping a tight hold). _ Slowly and carefully you can rethread your poles onto the new shock cord. It can be a little fiddly, especially if the end is frayed _ and so it may help to use a lighter to melt the end of the cord to prevent further fraying. If while you are doing this, you notice _ that the steel pole end (ferrule) is damaged, bent or has a serrated edge you can easily replace this at the same time.___”
