    OT: Tent Pole Sleeve Mod

    Off Topic so I hope it's OK, if not, mods can you please remove.

    I will keep my two man tent for when the GF comes camping but I'd like to mod it and I'm hoping the wisdom here can help.

    I hate pole sleeves and I'm wondering how to mod my existing tent to use clips.

    I've searched the net and can't really find a source for something easy. I tried carabiners and it will probably work but there must be a better way.

    Here's a couple of pics.

    Is this what you were looking for? I have 12 pieces but they're in Sweden, unfortunately

    Those should do what you are looking for. In my experience their delievery is pretty decent (I'm in the US not Canada). And it probably should have been in the donating off-topic DIY area but I can't move it so.

    I would sew loops of grosgrain webbing at intervals, and either thread the poles through them, or find clips like Rawhide and tbctx posted. However you end up doing it, you might want to reinforce the loops at the top of the tent to prevent a rip.

    It's better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it.

    Formerly known as Acercanto, my trail name is MacGuyver to some, and Pucker Factor to others.

    It's not procrastinating, its proactively delaying the implementation of the energy-intensive phase of the project until the enthusiasm factor is at its maximum effectiveness. - Randy Glasbergen

    Ah, I didn't realize the difference in the forums, thanks for next time.

    I'm not sure about those ones, seems the ones Rawhide has would work sewn to the outside of the sleeve with some reinforcing tape.
