i have a tent and i want to know since i lost the poles can i actually go buy new poles?

I have purchased new poles a couple of years ago at my local sporting goods store there must be loads of places on line

the others say contact the manufacturer of the tent, but if you can not keep track of the poles I know you lost the contact information that came with the tent.

so throw the tent away it's useless with out the poles and go buy a new one

You should call the maker of the tent that you have. They should be able to help you. I've never heard of people just selling tent poles because every tent needs a different length and angle I'd assume. Call up the manufacturer and ask them.

I agree with both answers. Have had to replace tent poles before--the shock cord broke.

Get the manufacturer (in the user's manual) And they usually have parts such as poles you can get, and they'll ship them to you.

try contacting the manufactuer directly.
