Tarp Poles Heavy Duty Adjustable, AVOFOREST Aviation Aluminum 8.7FT Tent Poles Lengthen and Thicken with Protection Cap Awning Poles Set of 2 for Hiking

Works as advertised. Haven’t noticed any issue with the polls locking too tightly. They’re very easy to use straightforward design.As others mentioned in the reviews, the silicone chest pond caps do come slightly deformed. But, only around the skirt on mine. They were already attached to the steel pin on each pole. Rubber caps are straight upright other than the base area of each cap.If that bothers anyone, I’m sure you could heat up some water on the stove top and just place the base of the cap inside of it, and then mold it back to the correct shape.Someone else mentioned their order didn’t come with the stakes and guy lines. Mine did. Was happy about that. Had already resigned myself to the fact they might only be included when you buy the larger set of four poles.Happy with condition of what was received. Well packaged double boxed. Everything wrapped up well in plastic bags. It’s exactly what I was hoping for.If I was backpacking, I might take a single pole. Use it somewhat like a walking stick. Then use it for setting up poncho shelter, or similar.Mainly would recommend set for car camping. Or in the winter time if you have sled to pull your gear or ATV. These aren’t overly heavy or extremely long, but when you start adding all the gear together, it gets a bit heavy.Also the carry bag is a decent quality. Has a nice barrel lock for cinching the bag shut can hold all the contents including the cordage and stakes. Has two rope cords that come off of the carry bag. So, if you were so inclined could wear it like a backpack.The steel tent stakes are different than any. I have presently with my tents. Look like they should be great for tough clay soil and maybe even in the winter for icy ground.

I use this for the poles for my DIY Awning on my DIY truck build mini home fold down porch . And the are working great , i have have very high winds and the handled it great.

I bought these poles to hang an awning over my deck. I have two points to attach to my house, and needed to hold up the other side. These poles are tall, adjustable, and strong. The only reason I deducted a star is for the light rope sent to attach to the poles. They are black and hard to see and one broke pretty quickly. I’ll replace them with some stronger and easy to see.

Good poles. Secure when extended and easy to extend/retract. Lightweight. I use them for the awning on my Jeep, they’ve held up well in wind.

Poles are very sturdy! Missing the stakes and topes.

I can say that it is not the perfect item but for its price and for the material it is worth buying, other brands only offer half of what this one can offer us, I would have to do a longer and deeper test over time but from the first use I have given it I can say that it is worth buying this product, I only recommend not using the full extension because this can weaken it

Very impressed with the construction and smooth telescoping operation.

I love how easy it is to set them up. They feel very strong and not flimsy. I would recommend this item to anyone looking for a set of poles.
