Can I use this to repair tent poles that use shock cord?

I'll bet you could. What size is the shock cord currently running thru the tube, if if its 1/4 I guess it would, but you don't need 100ft. JN

Hi Ann, There are a number of cords to choose from with Amazon. I would say this would work very well. It has a lot of tension so we cut it quite a bit shorter for more tension on our project. It may be too large a diameter (1/4") for your tent poles. We had a lot of cord leftover that the neighbor used for two of his tents.

I agree with Rebecca, a 180, maybe bc that's how they are designed, to fit a dome. However in my opinion there is no chance of them touching ends as they are thick fiberglass as far as tent poles are concerned. If you tried to make them touch they would either snap in a violent way or make an incredibly dangerous circle that if suddenly 'sprung' would do serious damage. If you found a thin pole maybe like half the thickness of these it would probably work for your application.

As I understand it, 'Bungee Cord' is more-or-less a trade name for a particular product that is universally used for many similar products. i.e. a 3 foot cord with hooks on each end. However 'shock cord' is a more descriptive title of the cord itself, and it can be used to make many other products including 'Bungee Cords'.In essence, the shock cord is the bulk cord before anything is attached to it, or made from it. I used it to re-string some camping chairs, and to make tie-downs for an RV awning screen. Plus I have made several custom 'bungee cords' that suit my particular needs.

Does in mine. I took out the tent poles and use 550 paracord instead. Just make sure you have trees around you if you do.

YES ... no problems. buy a good quality black tape, such as Guerrilla Tape to close any pinholes in tent.

Yes, and no. They're generic tent pole replacements that are designed to fit any Coleman tent in terms of width of bars, etc. Chances are, all the rods put together will be too long for your tent because they're made to be as long as the longest pole made by Colemen. So you VERY LIKELY will have to cut at least one pole before tying it together with the elastic rope. If you buy this, make sure you have the ability to cut fiberglass in a straight, smooth line.

I doubt it. My suggestion is buy it, cut it into shorter lengths and sell them on craigslist and make some money. It is high quality cord, makes great boot laces, tarp tie downs, even braid it to make lead ropes for my big horses

I suppose you could take an entire section out and re-attach the shock cord. I'm about 5'4 1/2" and LOVE my cane chair. I've bought a few of them bc I'll lose one and can't live without it and I've really lost one on a train :-(. I'm a fan of the FOLDING cane chair, not the one that has a rigid leg (accidentally ordered that once due to poor product description).Carol's point is a good one, you are not perched atop it, it will make a tripod with your legs.

Cannot answer. I bought my tents for my children. It is part of their emergency kits and they have not had the opportunity to use it as of yet. When they do, they will let me know. I bought a tent form coleman similar to this and you definately need 2 people. Someone has to be on the opposite side when you pop the poles up. Can't possibly see how one person can do this!

You would have to change the ends due to dryer plugs being difference. Also, this is a 30 AMP, 125 V, single pole cord whereas dryer cords are 2 pole meaning that two lines hot (110 V each for a total of 220 V at 15 amps each for a total of 30 AMPs). Care would have to be used on the load specifications and such. It might be cheaper to go to a store and buy 50 ft (or whatever you need) of the right wire and two plugs and make your own extension cord. Menards/Lowes have the available parts.

I just used some of the aluminum wire left from the spool of shock wire. Pounded the ground rod deep & clamped the aluminum wire to it then attached to the charger's ground post. The included tester and a stray dog poking around our garden confirmed the kit worked.

I don't believe this 'Soft Mallet' is sturdy enough for driving tent stakes into hard ground. My tent stake tool of choice is a standard hammer. Once, I forgot the hammer and made use of a cast iron fry pan. To this day Wifey still reminds me of that error.

well you may have to tie the shock cords together that go through the poles? Not sure how that would work?

I can't imagine doing that.Not impossible but why would you want to? You have a raised bed, full of soil. And then I am not sure if some of the connectors would withstand being taken apart. It's not easy finding replacement parts.

Yes. You may need to purchase a hole-saw for the size of your umbrella pole. They often come as a set of bits that work with a standard drill - but they're not expensive. First - make sure that there are no brackets in the path of the hole. You can make the hole a little off center if necessary.

This is used to repair a pole. However if the length is the same as the pole you need to repair it could also be used as a replacement. I used mine to repair a section of one of my poles. I had to cut it a little shorter but it worked great.

As long as the diameter of the mounting area in the chair is the same as shock, it should work just fine.
