## Description

We are a company that has been producing outdoor products for more than 20 years. Before selling this tarp pole, we researched almost all the popular tarp poles on the market and carefully analyzed the areas where customers were dissatisfied. We solved almost all of them, designs this perfect tarp pole, hope you guys like it

Review: Expensive, but I'm very happy with the purchase. Poles are well made - First and foremost, the poles are more expensive than I wanted to spend. But they are well made and staying dry is worth the cost. I go camping in the mountains each year for a week. The volatile weather has brought too many thunderstorms that have flooded our tents. We've tried several techniques, but this time I decided to try a quality tarp and poles. Of course now that I bought these poles there wasn't a thunderstorm on this trip, but it held up great against the rain and I am confident would have not had an issue with a thunderstorm. The negatives besides the price, is that the steaks and string is more invasive to our camp than I had hoped. As a result the strings should be a bright color to be more easily seen. I'll replace that for our next trip which is unfortunate as the poles already were expensive. The locking was great. I had no issues and was able to adjust the poles too different sizes to control where I want the rain runoff to flow. The tarp is a heavy one and with the rain, the poles did not falter at all. So I'm happy with it. The rubber caps made it very easy to keep the poles locked onto the corners of the tarp which tremendously helped with the setup. Also, the rubber caps help to keep the poles grounded reducing concern about lightning. The aluminum is well coated to protect from weather and is light weight, but the metal does have some bend. Just had to make sure I angled the poles so that any bend won't impact. When packing up, the poles folded easily and was simple to put away. I wasn't sure how many poles to purchase - 2 or 4. I thought about trying two and running rope between the two poles and draping the tarp over it creating a "A" style slope, but saw that would struggle keeping the poles secure from sagging and protecting the tent. So I felt the 4 corners was the best technique with angling to control the runoff. This made the structure strong with less sag potential. Again, the cost is a lot. But you get what you pay for and having the added security of a dry tent is worth it for me.
Review: Good adjustability and size. - These poles area great addition to our tarp set up. The poles that came with the trap are not adjustable so limits the possibilities for set ups. Use them with the other poles or by themselves depending on the preferred set up. They tighten easily with a little twist and release with opposite twist. Have not loosened up and keep tight in winds. The rubber caps allow to use them directly to the trap or remove caps to place through the eyelets of the trap. Bag is sufficient for storage and while packing. Lighter than the poles that came with the trap and the extended length is enough for high clearance underneath the tarp. Picture shows one on the ground and the other on the table, third pole was original with the tarp. The pole in the middle held tightly in place with the rubber caps without ropes. Really like my decision to purchase these, makes the trap more versatile. Have used them for running a clothes line to hang sleeping bags on to air out and held the weight of 2 bags. Recommend these poles.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Initial impressions
*by A***E on July 18, 2026*

This is the review of my initial opening and home tests of the products itself. Not with use of any tarps yet. It looks clean and professional. I was impressed with the initial quality of the poles and how good they felt and how well the twist lock was working. I extended the poles to their full extent and twist locked them as shown in manual provided. I'm 6'4" 245lb and I would consider at least country strong. Once I extended the polls and locked them, I grabbed each end as far as I could reach and tried to pull it back together and it did not slip or slide and I was quite impressed by that. The little silicone piece that kind of looks like a pawn piece to a chess set. The silicone seems nice annd sturdy The rope provided seemed good enough and had a nice reflective weave through it. The stakes provided seem like just two big nails with a little plastic piece at the top to give you something to tie to. Those will be fine enough for my uses. Overall, I'm impressed and do not have buyer's remorse. I look forward to using them in the field with my tent setups or car camping setups. I'll update review upon field tests.
