TENT
& CAMP ACCESSORIES
POLES
TENTSMITHS encourages
you to build your own poles. We supply every tent with plans to build
appropriate poles and measured dimensions. Access to a table saw or a
friend with a table saw will save you money. Should you wish to purchase
poles from TENTSMITHS, we do manufacture a complete selection of poles
built specifically for your tent. Each set of poles is built after the tent
has been sewn and measured. All poles are cut, planed and shaped to be
square for roughly one foot at each end and octagonal for most of their
length. They are ready for sanding and finishing with oil or paint.
Small tents (wedges, perimeter poles for marquees, etc.) have upright poles
cut from 2" x 2" Douglas Fir stock with no knots. Ridge poles are
cut from 2" x 4" Spruce stock which is hand selected, but not
knot free.
Upright poles are configured leaving roughly nine inches at each end
square, while chamfering the remainder of the hard edges. This makes the
poles lighter and much more attractive. Ridges have the top two edges chamfered
to fit the tent's ridge smoothly. |

Larger tents have uprights cut from Douglas Fir which is hand selected, but
not knot free. We finish the upright poles to be 2 1/2" square, while
ridge poles are 2 1/2" x 2 3/4". Upright poles are left square
for one foot at each end, with the remainder cut to an octagonal shape.
Ridge poles have the two top edges chamfered.
Large dimension Douglas Fir poles are priced at $7.90 per linear foot
SLEEVES INSTALLED ON LARGE DIMENSION POLES
Shortening the length of tall uprights and long ridge poles will make
transporting them much easier. Cutting your poles and adding a sleeve to
allow reassembly is a great answer. We will install sleeves to the larger
dimension uprights or ridges for $40 each (Any pole larger than nine feet
is not shippable by UPS. Unless you are picking up your pole set here at
our New Hampshire
location, we will cut and sleeve your poles for transporting).
SHIPPING YOUR POLES TO YOU
If you live in the northeast your poles will be shipped UPS ground service.
All other locations will be shipped UPS ground or UPS 3-Day Select upon
request. Poles over 9
feet must be cut and sleeved.
