How to Fix Tent Poles

1). Go to a sporting goods store and look for tent pole repair sleeves. Buy as many sleeves as you have broken tent poles (hopefully it's only one).
2). Slip the tent pole repair sleeve over the broken tent pole, and wrap duct tape around the top and bottom of the sleeve to further secure it in place.
3). Go to a hardware store if you aren't able to find a tent repair sleeve that will work with your tent pole.
4). Buy some aluminum roof flashing and two nylon clamps. Cut the aluminum flashing to size with tin snips and wrap it around the broken sections of the tent pole.
5). Secure it in place by putting clamps at the top and bottom of the sleeve you have created. Wrap the aluminum flashing with duct tape to cover any sharp edges.
