Telescoping Tarp Poles Canopy Adjustable Aluminum Rods, Portable, Lightweight for Tent Fly, Awning, Outdoor Camping, Hiking, Backpacking, Rainfly

I purchased these poles to help prop up a tailgate tent that collects water in it when it rains. The poles work as hoped! I love how they have the option to be used as a center pole propping up the center of a tarp or fly, and as a corner support through a grommet in a tarp. The high visibility ropes they come with are nice and sturdy and the stakes are a nice quality. While the plastic ends of the stakes are not the best, the size of the stake is good. The adjustability of the height is very nice, and they hold well once the height is locked. I highly recommend these for camping!

I have put these to the test camping for 6 months in several places. They work as described. The stakes and rope are sturdy and very handy. * Mind the plastic stake heads, they do the trick, I might be a little aggressive with a hammer and broke two ) the large pin head stick works w/out plastic top. Poles are light yet, respectful they are aluminum I have cranked them tight with ropes and extension held its spot.I was a bit confused when I saw a poor review because the pole was bent? I can’t see how this would happen just staking them? In any case Ive bought a new set, a 6pk to use for shading with more 10x 12 rain flies. Which Ive used poles for several times. No issues so far. Highly recommend.Heads up- -They collect a little rain inside poles. So you might tip them upside down, and slowly pump them to form water out. Packing up after heavy rains, ill stand them upside down to help draining them before. Its not alot of moisture but you might not want the moisture in your packed gear.

I purchased six of these about a year ago for roughly £70. Am very happy with them so thought I'd get some more. Once I saw how much they had gone up in price, I quickly changed my mind. Nearly a £100 mark up is a rip off and although I realise people need to make a profit, they can get that elsewhere, but not from me or my friends.

I bought this set of poles because I had a great experience with a different set from a different company. I thought this set would be even better because of the blunt silicone tops. Well two of them didn't make it through the first set up. we were camping at a beach campground and the wind was blowing, nothing new in our area, but when the first two sides of the tarp canopy were up, both poles BENT . One of them snapped at the bend after I got it out of the grommet of the tarp.So while they are light weight (aluminum) and are easy to carry, they are not meant for strength.My previous set had made it through a thunderstorm and wind just 3 weeks prior. So I am not sure if this is a product fail or a weather fail. Either way, they are good for simple camping.

These came in handy to pop up our taro, great value, very tall, easy to use, and sturdy once you anchor them in place with the spikes and rope that cone with them
