    inexpensive tent poles??

    Good day!

    I'm looking into adding a pole mod to my 12' Winterdream tarp. Any advise on where to get a decent pair of .340" aluminum tent poles, 132"??

    Thank you in advance!

    I've been looking into something similar and am probably going to buy from this site when I get around to it: http://www.questoutfitters.com/tent_poles.htm

    Dutch also sells poles on his website and we all know that he only produces quality stuff.

    Made internal pole mods for myself and a friends UGQ WD12 tarps using Weanas 11'3" poles:

    https://www.amazon.com/WEANAS-Alumin...les&th=1&psc=1

    Worked great, using the stock split rings already on the WD12, just put a little gorilla tape near end of each pole tip to stop it from passing all the way threw the split rings and some bungie and a carabiner to clip the pole to the tarp ends and your done for basically 20$.

    These worked perfectly with my custom tarp with 1/2" Beastie D rings. The tips of these poles (I got the 12'2" length) fit perfectly in the hole of the BeastieD's, I was pretty pleased for $20.
