I recently purchased a used REI kingdom 6 tent. Can I ask someone to measure the length of their crossover tent pole? I need to know how long it is so I can get a (missing) replacement one made.

You may have a wait for a forum member to measure the crossover pole and reply (if one has an REI Kingdom 6 and happens to see your post).
Instead, I would contact Tent Pole Technologies either via website or good old telephone (link to their site below). They make replacement poles and/or just a pole section for most tents...fiberglass or aluminum. They also already have the pole dimensions (both length and diameter) for a large number of tent brands/models. I'm fairly certain they would have the measurements for the Kingdom 6....since it is a popular tent.

Great tent choice BTW! :-)
And I agree, the REI Kingdom series has a lot going for it.2020: 7 nights 2019: 5 nights 2018: 20 nights 2017: 19 nights 2016: 20 nights

Re: Kingdom 6 tent pole measurement help
206.125" total length.
The posts are 0.75" on each side (include in above measurement).
So if you wanted the shoulder to shoulder length from the interface of the pole and the grommet on either side you're looking at 204.625".
Pole diameter is approx 0.5". (Don't have an OD mic at the house...)
