Looking to purchase new poles for my tent. Any recommendations?

My cheapy poles are breaking and I'm looking to replace them. Is there anywhere that I can just buy poles and no covering?

Additionally, if I had to buy a grow tent, what brands would you recommend?

Not sure where to get replacements, but here's an idea. Get some 3/4" Sch 80 PVC pipe and fittings are build a new frame. You could also splint the broken poles with PVC pipe and some epoxy.

I like this idea. Sounds a lot cheaper than buying a new tent! Thank you!

It’s not cheaper than buying a low priced new tent.

The problem IS the cheap tent, I know I've got a cheapo T-Tek, and rather than bin it, I'm prepared to fix it...$50 and a trip to Home de Pot when the time comes for mine to be repaired.

I had received an extra tent shell. Thought the same thing about a PVC frame. The cost was not that much different from a brand new one. I figured after all my labor, the cost would be more expensive to build it.
So I got a cheap one for like $120, that was 4 years ago and still functioning like the day I unboxed it.

You sound like a person who takes care of his stuff. My guy at the grow store warned me that the frame on the T-Tek is a little fragile "don't let your drunk friends lean on it" is what he said. Not exactly an endorsement of the product, but I took it to heart and have the tent sandwiched against the wall and the end of some shelving so it's not flopping around when I'm zipping and unzipping.
