Hello,
I have an old (1980s) Lichfield Valencia 4 tent and unfortunately the wind caught it last summer and bent both rear angled pole sections! There are two pole sections which connect to a central section and each section is made up of 3 spring connecting poles. Both angled joints have creased, the length of the pole section is approximately 40cm, pole OD is 19mm with a reduction to 17mm. See some images of the poles. Does anyone have anyone know whether it is possible to purchase replacement poles for legacy frames? Back up is to bend back and braze, but ideally I would like to replace. Thank you in advance for any advice.

You could try contacting http://www.tentspares.co.uk. I can't see anything on their website but an email or phone call is going to cost nothing. Otherwise you could try to find a secondhand one on ebay/gumtree/wherever and cannibalize it for spares. Good luck.

Hi, Thanks for your comment. I tried Tentspares and unfortunately they only specialise in fibreglass poles repair and replacement. They recommended to explore the welding option…
