I bought four of these ( large size, discounted) specifically to use with a OneTigris Backwoods Bungalow 2.0 tent. This tent comes with no poles, instead using dead wood to fashion your poles in woodland. It is a baker style tent with a large awning. I bought these to use away from woodland, two as gable end poles and the other two for the canopy.
I particularly like the spike foot which has a small hole which should take a traditional hook tent peg for extra stability. The twist mechanism works very well and is really solid without much more than a small extra twist when the poles start to tighten.
I dont intend to use these poles other than in late Spring/Summer/early Autumn with this tent when reasonable weather is forecast and therefore I wont be testing to destruction. However that said, I was using these poles with the above tent in the eye of Storm Betty in late August 2023, where these poles were the main support for my tent in buffeting and gusting wind and rain. They never budged and provided strong support for the tent in highly challenging conditions.
The max height of the largest pole is 51"/128cm, so good also for fairly low tarp shelters.
They come in an attractive mid green colour and give the impression of standing the test of time.
Only other thing I would like to see is a small ball cap for the spike end, so they could be used safely inside a tent as the support pole, but an old tennis ball will serve the same purpose.
Highly Recommended.
