Firstly, when choosing your pole, you will need to start with what material would best suit your requirements.
TENT POLES:Typically used as the upright vertical pole that will assist in holding a tent / tarp structure. The fittings are generally a foot cap of types for the bottom tube and top tube will vary depending on application
SPREADER POLES:These are generally used as the horizontal pole that spread across a structure to either tension or support a tent / tarp structure to provide extra support for wind and rain. Types of fittings used on these can vary significantly depending on application and outcome required.
1. GENERAL TUBE TYPES
Firstly, when choosing your pole, you will need to start with what material would best suit your requirements.
1.1Galvanised Steel Tube– Is the classic material giving strength and longevity but can be quite heavy when carrying a lot of them
- Standard Grade-0.9mm wall thickness.
Will suit most normal conditions of use - Heavy Duty- 1.2mm wall thickness. This gauge material would normally be used for bigger spans or for when additional strength is required
1.2Anodised Aluminium Tube-This material is generally half the weight of the standard grade steel galvanised material and has excellent longevity. The anodised finish is non corrosive and non marking.
2. TUBE DIAMETER:Inner tube 22.2mm and Outer tube 25.4mm
3. GENERAL ADJUSTERS TYPES:
3.1Thumbscrew and Tee Nut – the traditional adjuster used on steel poles. Excellent holding power and yellow zinc coated for additional corrosion resistance
3.2Easy Grip (Daisy) Wheel and Tee Nut – An upgraded version of the traditional thumbscrew, High visibility Yellow with easy turn handle (great for tired / sore hands) and same great holding power
3.3Nylon Collar (Clamp Collar)– the traditional adjustor used on aluminium poles, Non marking and easy to use
3.43D Cam Twistlock (patented) – The adjustor of choice for all aluminium poles, Non marking, extra strong and packs away neat and tidy.
4. LENGTH REQUIRED
The length of the tent pole / spreader pole required will depend on what maximum length you wish the pole to extend to or what collapsed length required.Longer overlap will give higher flex resistance (more strength).The collapsed length will depend on which fittings are used on the poles and the amount of sections used
(i.e.. three piece tri poles)
The guide below will give a rough indication of sizes. If a critical collapsed length is required, either go one size lower or please specify on checkout the critical collapsed length required.
5. GENERAL FITTINGS
Select the type of fittings required based on what the pole will be used for, what it is to connect to or what it will hold up.
