How to Replace Tent or Tarp Poles
- 1). Log on to your computer and bring up the Internet browser. Type "tent poles" or "tarp poles" into your preferred search engine's search bar.
- 2). Click on several different sites to find the specific types of tent or tarp poles you are looking for. For the most part, all tent poles are the same diameter, but you need to know what kind of tent you have. For instance, a two-person dome tent will not have the same length poles as an eight-person square tent. All tarp poles are the same. You will choose the tarp pole length based on personal preference.
- 3). Find the best price and purchase as many as you need. Most sites accept all major credit cards, and some sites accept debit cards.
- 4). Search in the phone book for your local sporting goods stores. Write down the names and phone numbers of the stores.
- 5). Call the stores and ask them if they sell replacement or spare tent and/or tarp poles. Ask directions for the stores that sell them if you do not know how to get there.
