3.7 oz - 104 g If you're a cyclist, paddler, or don't carry trekking poles, you may wish to consider using our Aluminum 5-Section poles to support your shelter. Some shelters require two poles for setup; be sure to review the setup before purchasing. Length: 49" - 125 cm(Folded 11" - 28 cm) Diameter: 3/8" - 10 mm Recommended for:Lunar Solo. Deschutes, Deschutes Plus, Deschutes Zero-G, Wild Oasis, Gatewood Cape Notes: Aluminum Poles do have built-in flexibility. When setting up your shelter, you want to tighten the canopy just to the point where the poles create a slight bend. Then back off until vertical. This is more than enough tension to keep your shelter erect, even with high wind loads.
