Question 1

I'd like to know how "LONG" these sections are, per section. I have an experiment and need length???

Accepted Answer

The black fiberglass rods themselves are 25.50 inches long.  The silver clasps that go between the rods are 2.5 inches long. 2 rods connected with a single connector between them result in a total length of 51.25 inches (this should help answer the question of how much of a gap exists between the rods if you need that info).Hope this helps.

Question 2

Is this product designed to repair a broken section of tent poles or to replace the entire pole?

Accepted Answer

This is used to repair a pole. However if the length is the same as the pole you need to repair it could also be used as a replacement.  I used mine to repair a section of one of my poles.  I had to cut it a little shorter but it worked great.

Question 3

How flexible are these poles, will they bend to form a half circle?

Accepted Answer

I have a Coleman Highline tent that uses a 5' pole that bends to a half circle to form a front porch with the rain fly. The original pole was 6.3mm diameter but is a very difficult replacement to find. I broke my original and replaced it with this 7mm diameter pole. I'm using 3 sections cut down to 5' total. This 7mm is a bit harder to bend but not much. And it didn't break when I tried it out. Only time will tell if it will keep bending without breaking. But so far, seems like it might work fine.

Question 4

is this compatible for a child's play tent?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but will require a trim to shorten it.  I get this for the Disney princess tent (cheap, indoor, floorless play tent). Should have replaced both though since the new one is stronger and more robust pole than the original and now the tent sits sideways.  Buy 2 trim and replace both.
