Repair Marmot shockcord tent poles

Bend them back into place or contact the company for replacement.

I have never seen your tent but found these instructions online. Hope they help:

Erection / Pitching

This tent pitches inner first and uses the popular ring and pin method to locate the poles on both the inner and outer and takes two to erect. The poles are all colour coded making it very easy to identify which poles go in which sleeves. The inner uses six poles to hold up, three for the main living area and one each for the bedroom pods. Once all poles are threaded, its advisable that one person gets inside the inner tent and supports the main poles as they are located. Tip here and for most tents of this design, make sure the first pole you locate on the main living area is the pole on the bottom of the crossover at the top of the tent, this then takes the weight of the poles above making it easier to secure. Locate the main poles and then the bedroom pod poles using the ring and pin system. The inner tent will then require pegging down and this takes around twenty pegs to secure. Finally once the inner is secure the outer flysheet is pulled over the inner, tied on the main poles and then finally pegged. The final thing to do is to locate the two porch poles and secure with the ring and pins and then peg out the guy ropes.

There are a few places you can look for replacement poles for your Ozark Trail WMP1711 tent.
1. Manufacturer's Website: Checkthe manufacturer's website for replacement parts or contact their customer service department to inquire about replacement poles for your specific model of tent.
2. Outdoor Retailers: Visit outdoor retailers that carry Ozark Trail products, such as Walmart or Academy Sports + OutOutdoors. They may have replacement poles available for purchase online or in-store.
3. Online Marketplaces: Check online marketplaces such as Amazon, eBay, or Craigslist. Sometimes you can find individual sellers who are selling replacement tent poles for various models. Make sure to confirm that the poles are compatible with your specific tent model before making a purchase.
4. Tent Repair Services: If you're having trouble finding replacement poles, consider reaching out to tent repair services. These professionals may be able to create custom replacement poles or suggest alternatives that would work for your tent.
Remember to provide specific details about your tent model, such as dimensions or specifications, when searching for replacement poles to ensure they are compatible with your tent.

Sporting goods stores normally carry generic replacement poles- you want to find pole of the same diameter. These can carefully be cut to size by securing the cord between the first & second pole, cutting the knot at the end of the pole, then sawing off the end of the first pole that does not have the metal coupling. This is easier if you wrap masking tape around the pole at the cut location to help prevent the fiberglass from splitting. Put the cord back through the first pole, tie a couple of figure 8 knots, and you are good to go.

the repair kit is for the tent not the floor to repair the floor just ues gaffa tape inside and out side
waterproofing soak the tent with fabisol waterproofer and let dry

I bought one of these yeaterday. The instructions - for what they are worth are sewn inside the carry bag. So I decided to put it up today. Not as easy as i would have thought, but then this is my first tent of this size. ( saw a nice Outwell Montana 4 in Millets for 225.00 which would have been my tent of choice). But at half price in Argos I couldn't argue that one.


So to put it up.....
lay out the fly sheet in the approximate final position. put poles in as per instructions ..blue to back red to middle and blue to front.. across the tent. ( the pole guides are all colour coded.) Make sure poles are in pins at the base of fly sheet (bending gently to attach). these are attached by the black elastic straps.put in porch pole, put in front to back poles left and right.

Anchor back of tent temporarily with pegs. Lift from porch forward to lift tent. Temporarily peg base of poles, straighten out so that the straps inside tent are approximately perpendicular to each other. Move poles to tension flysheet and tighten anchor points on flysheet using straps buckles to pull flysheet down as far as possible ( to help prevent draughts)., anchor guy lines when happy with final position.

Put up inside ground sheet and attach to points on inside of flysheet. put up rooms starting with the rear yellow hook and work around to front red hook.

These instructions were not specifically provided but this was our first try and probably could be improved on. It requires 2 people for speed if nothing else.

Enjoy

If you are in Japan it might be a bit more complicated, but your first step is to email Kelty at [email protected] and explain what happened. They may send you anew pole, or tell you where to get one, or sell you one.

22 knot winds are nothing special, and most camping equipment should be just fine in those conditions.

Slang term is bungie cords, but its just better and cheaper to buy new poles than deal with a pain in the @#$!
