How do you put together a camp mate tent with metal poles?

Answer 1

Depending on the nature of the damage there isn't a good way to fix tent poles. Generally if they are bent, you can bend them back into shape, although they sometimes lose their structural integrity, making them susceptible to bending again in the future. Your best bet is to go to a gear shop and replace them altogether.

Answer 2

I am dealing with a campmate two-room tent so I might have hit on what will work for you. I had no instructions with this used package. Lay all the parts out and set together into four groups. Put the sides together and then the center. The base for the center legs are different with the key style adjusters. You should have four curved parts for the side walls and two for the center poles. Put the groups together on the ground as much as you can and then tape them securely. Make sure you have help if you can because the sides seem to stay up with strings from the roof, on each side. The skinniest poles are for the awning if you have one on yours. Be patient your first time with this tent so thetre is no pressure to get it done. That way you will learn it and recall how to do it next time. Write some instructions for yourself and then post them for yous and mes everywhere. It;ll cotton candy and lollipops for sure, after that! Kidding. Cheers. Good luck.
