Our 7' (2.13 m) Aluminum Side Poles are a popular lighter-weight option when compared to the standard galvanized steel side pole. Aluminum side poles are less susceptible to rust, which will increase the longevity of the pole and helps to keep any tent side walls cleaner. Each aluminum side pole is constructed using schedule 40, 6061-T6 (tempered & artificially aged) Anodized Aluminum with an outside diameter of 2 3/8" (60.33 mm). CELINA recommends the use of anti-sink plates with all pole tent poles to prevent poles from sinking into moist soil.
