    Hi everyone :-)

    I want to restore a tent which has been around - England Wales Scotland
    California and Arizona. First I want to replace the tent poles (fibre
    glass sticks with elasicated cord down middle). A couple of sections
    are cracked and broken. Can you buy them somewhere?

    Secondly the groundsheet is a weave (fibre glass I think) with some
    coating like a PVC paint. In places the coating is pretty worn thin,
    and I'd like to re-surface it. Is it possible to buy a suitable paint?

    TIA

    Millets and Yeomans sell replacement poles. Take along a section
    of your old pole as they vary by diameter. As for painting your
    groundsheet, it sounds very dubious. Unless it's a backpacking tent
    for which weight is an issue, I'd pick up a cheap groundsheet, cut it
    to size and pitch it under your tent.

    Ian.
