How To Fix A Snapped Tent Pole
Fix a snapped tent pole by lining up the broken ends tightly. Use a piece of plastic bottle or a tent stake as a splint. Wrap the splint and pole with strong duct tape. No splint? Press the broken ends together and tape them well. Clean the pole ends first for better tape hold. This quick fix keeps your tent stable. Later, replace the pole section or use elastic cord for lasting repair.
