How to find the right tent pole segment
A replacement segment must match the old one in series, diameter and type. Check these five things in order.
1. Measure the diameter
Use a caliper to measure the outer diameter of the middle of the segment. Do not measure the wide end or the insert – they are thicker or thinner than the middle. For example, an NSL 9 mm segment has a 9.5 mm wide end and an 8.3 mm insert.
2. Identify the series
| Series | Segment colour* | Diameters | Segment length |
|---|---|---|---|
| DAC Featherlite NSL | gold | 8.05 · 9 · 10.25 mm | 40 cm |
| DAC Featherlite NFL | blue | 8.7 · 9.3 mm | 36 or 40 cm |
| DAC Pressfit | anthracite | 8.7 · 9 · 9.5 · 10.2 · 11.1 · 13.2 mm | 45 cm |
| EASTON® Aluminium 7075 | – | 8.6 · 9 · 11 · 18.8 mm | 40.6 cm |
| EASTON® Carbon | – | 7.5 · 8.8 mm | 40.6 cm |
*The colour applies to the segments sold in our shop; a tent maker may use a different colour. NFL and NSL segments are not compatible with each other, even when the diameter is similar.
3. Centre piece or end piece
- Centre piece – connects to other segments at both ends.
- End piece – the last segment of the pole: it connects to other segments at one end only; the other end is cut thinner to take an end cap or lock tip.
4. Insert or insert entry
- Insert – the thinner silver tube end that slides into the next segment.
- Insert entry – the wider end of a segment that takes the insert of the previous segment.
A standard centre piece has an insert at one end and an insert entry at the other. NFL also comes as centre pieces with 2 inserts and with 2 insert entries – choose the same as your old segment. Pressfit and Easton segments are available with or without insert.
5. Length
Measure the segment length without the insert – this is how lengths are given on our product pages (e.g. NSL centre piece: 40 cm without insert, 43 cm with insert).
