Ridge Outdoor Gear Adjustable Telescoping Tarp Tent Poles Rod, Extending Portable Collapsible for Camper Awning Tarpaulin Camping

Worked great with my “Noah’s Tarp”, 16’X16’ for 12 windy days of the EAA Oshkosh airshow, no problems. Would buy again!

I was hoping for more from an American company. I had them set up in a tent and the downward force of the stakes pulling on it compressed the aluminum and put a bulge in the pole. This was within the first 10 uses. There was no wind or sideways pressure, merely the weight of the tent and pressure from the stakes. Now one of the poles can't be telescoped down. I reached out to the company, but no response.

On the first use, it broke by a breeze when used to support a tarp. Very disappointing!

I can't yet give 5 stars as I have only used them once. Used it to hold up one end of a 12x16 tarp. Other end of tarp was attached to a trailer. It was WINDY and they did great. We used two guy lines on each pole to keep them steady (we had one blow-over when we just had only one guy line - two.. fixed it right up). It's nice to be able to telescope them without click beads. Easy to make adjustments to your preference and more precise. The top cap is nice as well. I also like the rubber bottoms. Theses were set up on concrete and they didn't move much at all. They seemed pretty sturdy, but I could see if you over extended, and over exerted them, there might be a problem, but that is true of everything. I'm contemplating ordering another set.
