I just received my Tensa Solo Pole yesterday. Put up in backyard for a quick test and loved the results.

I used the 40cm boomstakes. My yard is very wet, soggy clay. Not sure what that means in terms of holding power.
I put the Tensa Solo Pole roughly 15' from my other anchored end. I have a 10x10 tarp that i hang in multiple configurations, so wanted to see if i could put Tensa Solo far enough to allow for tarp. Although i did not actually stake the tarp out, it was in an Asym diamond so roughly 11' end to end. not sure if i would have had enough room for 14' diamond. Because i had the Tensa Solo 15' from anchored end, my 11' hammock was fairly taught. The hammock ridgeline was almost piano string tight. The Tensa Solo and 40cm boomstakes supported my 250lbs. Seemed very sturdy and boomstakes appeared to have not moved even 1 mm (general observation, not actually measured).
I am so excited that my options now to hang are much better. I don't have to try and find 2 perfectly spaced trees with no brush, bushes between, in thick bush etc...... At Provincial parks, i just need one good tree on the site perimeter and can hang my hammock.
Looking forward to the season.
