What kind of poles do you recommend using? Where can I buy them? Looking for study & not difficult! Thanks.

1" conduit is sturdy and works for mine. It can be found at most hardware stores.

I am using 3/4 inch emt or electrical conduit pipe. Pound one end closed and use a block of wood on top so you don't screw up the top when you pound it in. Hope this helps.

I made my own out of PVC plastic poles, buried a larger size 18" into the ground and slide small diameter poles into those...makes it easy to take up and down for grass cutting, etc

Mine came with two poles. I can't speak for the other ones on the site but I can't imagine them coming with just one. BTW, I loved the ones I bought!

I broke one of my poles and couldn't find replacements so I cut a piece of 1/2 in PVC and slid it over the broken section. That worked. Sorry, but that is the best answer I could provide.

I may have one for you as I looked to replace damaged connectors ... couldn't locate any .... so bought a new 10 x 20 last year.... Poles have a length and Diameter and a Letter code .... so be specific and I'll see if I have a spare for you .... Tom Drew

They held up fine for me. I don't use my poles for long hiking trips but for a few hrs most days. I don't usually go in the rain. I have been happy with them, but they don't hold their length in the snow, if that makes sense. (You twist and tighten in 2 places for the height you want.) It just doesn't hold in the winter. But that's fine. I just use reg. ski poles. Again over all, the poles work well and held up for my purposes. (baskets both came off in the leaves somewhere..) Hope that helps,

I use my hiking poles. I always hike with a pair of adjustable hiking poles and they make good support poles for pitching a tarp tent.

We did not use poles. We put it over a deck and attached it to the facia board on the back of the house with stainless steel eye and S hooks and the other end to trees off the side of the deck. The shade has sewn in D hooks (like grommets) that fit on the S hooks.

Hello, and happy walking! These poles both broke after 3 months and I have since replaced them with a much better set of poles, made by Black Diamond. Reki also makes excellent poles. The Cascade poles collapsed while hiking, and the tips fell off. Awful. The Black Diamonds do require hand strength to lengthen and shorten. I have thumb arthritis, and sometimes have to ask a fellow hiker to assist. If you plan on keeping them at the sme length at all times, then it's less of a problem.

Hi Alan, you don't need your old poles - mine came with new poles that I just fastened to the old base frame. This has lasted really well so far, lots of heavy use and no damage.Cheers, Mark

i have been very happy with this product. I bought 3 poles because I put up a long line too. i put a line on each end and used the 3rd one in the middle to prevent sagging i just ran the line thru the holes. Also this might be a little overkill but i did tiebacks on the 2 endposts from the pole to the ground and like I said I have been happy with them.

My wife uses the poles (for walking in a warm climate). She has had at least two different sets of poles. I think I actually bought both sets (at least one on Amazon), but she is the user. Anyway, I know she has successfully replaced the 'feet' on both sets of poles...using Amazon purchases. If yours are very HIGH END, you might need to do more research.

I'm an avid hiker with many lightweight, expensive pole sets. Sacheen, I thank you for asking this exceedingly simple question. I'm rather saddened to see opinion answers ("They're not too heavy to me?") to a quantitative question. I am sorry that you actually had to purchase them to find that they are too heavy. I believe you. Sorry too that your scale was broken at the time, and no one else seems to have simply placed these on a small gram/ounce scale to get an actual weight. Thanks again, Sacheen, for saving me from buying these. I'm willing to pay more for high performance, lightweight poles for my Nordic walking/hikes of up to 20 miles a day.

We found that the 10 green poles were not enough...and flimsy... and had to have something to reinforce them to stay straight. We used rebar driven into the ground and slipped the pole over it (careful not to let the cotter pin holding wire touch the rebar...must be lower...to avoid grounding) as additional support and had to buy plastic conduit to make additional poles. Unit has a 27 inch cord...so you will need an appropriate extension cord if not located directly at a plug. A translation of their 1 page instructions/safety info for the power unit would help as well.....very poorly written, very hard to understand (I have a Master's degree in science and found it very confusing).

Go to www.Remybattery.com and look it up. There may be options for right/left or front/back pole placement.

I'd recommend picking up the Coleman 10 inch tent stakes. That's what I use. They are heavy duty and good for securing the tent to the ground. You'll need six at a minimum. The unit comes with decent stakes but I'd use them more for securing guy lines. You'll also need to pick up a heavy duty tarp to use at a foot print under it.

Hi Mallory, I would love to help you but I didn't order this for myself. I ordered it for my job, but they are placed in the factory so I haven't even seen the merchandise. But they seemed very happy with the pole. I apologize for not being able to help more. Karen
