Even with the shipping they are way less expensive than any other vendor I had found. This is for two poles of 130".. I made one center pole for under-tarp and two short over the ridge line poles for what it what have cost me for just one, or the other... Made the shipping cost irrelevant

I couldnt pass up the deal today, even with the shipping. Hopefully they show up before I head out of town next Thursday. Then I can put them to use with my new DIY tarp.

Mine took a little over a week to arrive.

I am actually local to their warehouse but they have weird hours and I wasn't able to get there before or after work. So I paid (plus tax) them to ship the poles about 10 miles lol. They came the next day. God I am lazy sometimes.

Got a shipping notification today. Should be here Wednesday. Crossing my fingers they show up on time (or even early).

If two 10' Easton Nanolite poles are each divided into two parts (6' and 4'), could they be used as poles to hold up a tarp, for where there are no available trees (picking, at random, a place like my backyard). Or will they be too flimsy and should only be used as pole mods?

If they can successfully hold up a tarp, I would think a pointy end for each pole would be preferable (vs. a blunt pole tip) - where could one buy a point/spike that would fit these poles? TIA.

They're typical tent poles, so they're made to be light and flexible. With zero wind, they might work stuck in the ground holding up a light tarp. Though two hiking poles and a tarp could make a pup tent. Now, if you mean arched with each end touching the ground, that would work fine IMO, but I don't believe that's what you mean since they'd need to be left long for that to work. Say, I took my Superfly to where all four corners were on the ground, not using a ridge line, and IF I could keep the poles from falling toward the end or middle, it would act like a tent without a floor, I think anyway.
