TIP: The online Bushwalk Inventory System can help bushwalkers with a variety of bushwalk planning tasks, including: Manage which items they take bushwalking so that they do not forget anything they might need, plan meals for their walks, and automatically compile food/fuel shopping lists (lists of consumables) required to make and cook the meals for each walk. It is particularly useful for planning for groups who share food or other items, but is also useful for individual walkers.Alu Pole Section 10mm OD - where find one?
Sun 10 Mar, 2013 7:03 am
The ridge pole of our more than 10 year old Salewa Sierra Leone tent suffered a bit during the recent 10 day trip.
Now looking for a replacement section.
10mm outer diameter, length ideally 48cm but could also be shorter.
Where could I find one? Does anyone have anything lying around they don't need any more?

Have you contacted Salewa? Who makes the pole?

Check out Mountain Creek. They have various pole sections. I found a match for a Mtn Hardware tent. Jolly Swagman also had some.

Is it the end pole (capped) or an intermediate section? wouldn't be hard to just trim it and add a section of 10mm tube with a piece of 10mm id sleeve, the usual fix. Some tents come with a sleeve (and or spare section). I'll have a look in our pole box, don't think any of our tents have used 10mm poles but there are a lot of odd sections.

Thx for the replies
I'll try the local shops tomorrow, thx for the suggestions.
@Nuts:
Intermediate section. Thx for the suggestion, have a sleeve but no section of 10mm. Let me know if you find anything.

I had a similar thing happen to my Salewa. I just got a spare pole section from Bogong for around $10. They carry a good stock of bits like that.

thx NNW.
Have found a close enuf 10mm section to sorta fix it with, works but doesn't look pretty.
Should be in Melbourne in a few weeks, will have a look at Bogong. Thx for the tip.
