Go to your local thrift store and buy an old tent, the ones that have the same type poles as the hubs and retro one.

Should be under warntie for a year call the manufacture and get a new one for free.

Manufacturer should have the exact one you need. ;D

call customer service.

My first thought is Fiberglass driveway markers. I've seen them at hardware stores and home Improvement stores. About 1/4" to 3/8" dia. different lengths also.

If it is new and you set it up correctly then the manufacturer's warranty should cover it. It was most likely a manufacturing defect that caused the rod to delaminate. Call customer service.
As a point of interest if they say no, please post who manufactured it (and under what brand), where you bought it and if they gave you a reason. I would want to stay clear of a manufacturer/retailer who doesn't support their product/customer if that's the case.

I had two break on my hunting blind last year. After several attempts to call I got P.O.ed and sent a semi-mean email. I received the replacements free, normally they cost $70 a piece.
