Over time, even the most well-kept tent will need a bit of maintenance. Take a look when you bring it home after a camping season to see if it needs any tweaks or fixes.

Contact your local MEC store for replacement tent poles in the right length and diameter for the broken section.
At the end of your tent pole (choose the end nearest the broken section), there’s a small end tip – pull it or unscrew it to reveal the bungee cord and knot inside.
Hold onto the bungee cord with one hand. With the other hand, unhook the small stopper from the cord. Then pull on the end of the bungee cord to undo the knot – keep your finger on the bungee cord so it doesn’t recoil back into the tent pole.
Next up: take the pole sections off the bungee cord until you get to the broken section. Keep those fingers on the cord, and set the pole sections aside in an organized way so you know how to put them back together.
Remove the broken tent pole section and put the replacement tent pole section in its place. Make sure your replacement fits with the two sections on either side.
Replace the other sections of the tent pole in the right order.
When all the tent pole sections are replaced, tie a looped knot in the bungee cord (watch the video to see how). Clip the metal stopper back into place.
Feed the bungee cord, knot and base of the stopper back into the pole, and check your work. If the poles don’t fold up compactly, you likely didn’t pull them on in the same order they came off in.
When it’s all good, pat yourself on the back – your tent is ready to go again.
