WTB Kelty Adjustable Tarp Pole or Similar

[pb&j]

I have found Kelty adjustable tarp poles for sale on several websites.

I still thought it would be worth checking to see if anyone is holding onto one that they do not use, and would like to part with for even less than what I have found new ones for.

This is not for backpacking, but rather for swimming days when we go places that have no shady refuge.

I have one that I'm keeping, but I have recently seen that REI is now carrying what looks to be identical poles for about $5 less. The REI large 8' pole is $35, Kelty's is $40.

i know this item is not what you are asking about, butt...

are you aware of NESTING POLES?

they can be had from several sources and are frequently less expensive than the segmented ones that are held together by bungees

i have 2, that i use, and they can be assembled to achieve different heights, by not adding a pole or 2±

i keep a rubber crutch tip on both ends which prevents the raw aluminum ends from poking holes in any fabric items that may be traveling with them

BikerDad--Thank you for letting me know about the deal. I will check into it for sure.

swoody126--That looks very interesting. I had no idea of any such thing, but it looks like an incredibly reasonable (and cheaper, which is perfect for me at this point in life) solution. Thank you!


Thank you both for taking the time to offer good advice and help.
