This aluminum twist-lock tension pole is designed for the 8101 Swag Tent and is available as a replacement or spare. The Swag Tent now includes this pole as part of the standard package; this listing is for customers needing an extra or replacement pole. To use, insert the pins into the grommets at the head and foot of the swag and extend the pole until the tent is taut. The pole allows the Swag to be set up freestanding without guy ropes or stakes, making it ideal for use in truck beds, on cots, or in areas where staking is difficult. It also adds additional rigidity to the frame. The pole folds compactly and can be rolled up inside the swag for convenient storage. Pack Weight: 1 lb Ship Weight: Approx. 2 lbs (with packaging)
