How to Repair a Broken Tent Pole Joint
- 1). Isolate the broken tent pole joint and take tension off of it by breaking down the rest of the poles.
- 2). Use a hacksaw to cut the broken joint off, making sure not to cut the elastic band inside the pole.
- 3). Spread a thin layer of fiberglass epoxy on one of the fiberglass poles and then slide one end of the pole splint onto the tent pole. Allow the epoxy to dry for at least three hours.
- 4). Slide the other end of the tent pole into the splint and erect the rest of the tent pole as normal.
