Adjustable Aluminum Camping Tarp Poles Set of 2 Collapsible 8ft

As I researched tarp and tent poles, I found a lot of bad or less than stellar reviews from quite a few folks stating that many brands weren’t up to the task. While I can’t speak for all brands, I can tell you that the Green Elephant poles perform exactly as they are intended to perform. I design and build my own awnings for overlanding rigs and I‘m quite fussy when it comes to the quality of the items I use to complete my projects. Green Elephant poles will always be one of the manufacturers I use for my projects. I love these poles! I don’t know what some folks expect from their tent and tarps poles but I suspect that some of the negative reviews may be due to misapplication – but who knows. Camp awnings and tarps are NOT meant to withstand hurricane force winds or extremely heavy rains, so I don’t know of any poles that are going to satisfy the camper who expects that. That said… I highly recommend Green Elephant poles and will be ordering more from them in the future. The finish is good. The operation is smooth and the locking mechanism performs with no effort and stays put. The nicest surprise was the three sections that when collapsed, resulted in a nice small package for stowing. The removable rubber tip is also a plus, allowing you to use the poles as a center support without puncturing a hole in your awning or tarp. It also helps lock the pole onto the tarp. Love these poles.
