Thread: Idiot! Snapped tent pole help

In my hasty attempt to setup my Kuiu mountain star tent i snapped one of the carbon fibre pole inserts that connects the poles together-
Would any one know of a solution to fix this or if a company around that could fix it?
Cheers guys!

A photo of the broken part and what it should look like would help for those of us not familiar with Kuiu tents.

I think Twin Neddle can fix it.

There are temporary sleeves that you can use to get you out of a situation, measure the diameter of the pole and buy the correct ones to carry with you. But regarding a permanent repair, I think the best is a replacement pole, some of the Carbon fibre guys may say different, but I think cost would dictate that.

Snapped the male insert inside the female sleeve…..have messaged kuiu but anyone tackled this themselves or reputable nz company that could fix?

Seems like a common theme with those kuiu tents few videos on YouTube about them including one in wapiti ballot that did the same thing

Ah yip sweet just had a look at them as a quick fix for now👍🏻

You could try heat shrink over the sleeve to help hold it all together a bit better/longer ? unless it's supposed to come off for transport etc...

Yeah it needs to fold at that point to fit in bag-
Have emailed kuiu hopefully they sell one off replacements that i dont have to re mortgage the house to buy

Email Kuiu directly and see what they can do. Always been great to deal with for me.
