Product Information

The Paria Outdoor Products Adjustable Tarp and Tent Poles are not the lightest, but they are incredibly sturdy and versatile. There is a wide rubber foot on one end so that it works on practically any surface and a thinner tin at the top, which has excellent clearance through tarp eyelets. The Six Moon Designs Carbon Fiber Tent Pole is by far the most lightweight tarp pole on this list and perhaps in the world. Fifty grams is absolutely nothing, and if the aim of the game is to travel light, then these are the best tarp poles for you. Delivered Monday to Saturday 8am-8pm, excluding bank holidays. Once despatched you will receive updates from the courier. They have the spiked foot, which again works great for soft ground but may pose issues on any hard or solid ground. We’ll let you decide. The adjustable mechanisms do add some weight when compared to the Azarxis’s, but they are just as strong and still lighter than the Kelty staff pole when weighed individually. Not a bad choice for beach shelters, festivals, and small groups but quite bulky for small solo campers. The Azarxis Aluminum Alloy Tarp Poles are a happy medium between affordability and lightweight gear you can trust. They are made from durable 6063 aluminum alloy, which has excellent strength-to-weight ratios and resists corrosion very well.

With two shorter tarp poles, you can create pitched roofs, A-frames, and lots of other lean-too-type shelters. The choice is ultimately up to you, but some set-ups do require some skill to get right, so be sure to make a few different shelters before you buy any tarp poles. What to Look for in a Tarp Pole to get a Taut Roof VERDICT: This set of two adjustable tarp poles by Odoland is great if you like to set your tarp up first and adjust your tarp poles to create tension on the roof. The two reasons to buy are because they are adjustable and come in a set of two. The reason not to buy them is that they are quite heavy.

You will notice that some of the best tarp poles on this list come in pairs, and others are sold in singles. This isn’t what makes one pole better than the other; it just depends on what kind of shelter you want. The Kelty Staff Tarp Pole is designed to work perfectly with the Kelty Noah’s Tarp but will provide plenty of structural integrity to any tarp shelter set up. We recommend getting two for a simple freestanding pitched roof design, but it is tall enough to work on its own. They have a spike design on the foot for rooting into the soft ground like an anchor, which is a contrast to the many flat, rubber foot designs out there. Of all the affordable tarp poles out there, I think these offer the best value for money and do not look cheap in any way. They look great. Top marks for being lightweight without feeling too thin or fragile and offering two meters of headroom which is more than enough for most people. In this guide to the best tarp poles for camping, we share the lightest, strongest, and easiest-to-use camping tarp poles available today. You will learn about the different types of tarp poles and how to use them correctly to get a taut rain fly sheet. VERDICT: The HYOUT spiked tarp poles are really cool and work well on all but the hardest ground types (but who camps on concrete anyway?). The spike helps when setting up and to prevent any movement if camping in strong winds.

Coming as a set of two tarp poles, you have the option of creating two identical lengths or one long/one short that enables you to create a pitched A-frame tarp shelter amongst many other designs that aren’t possible with identical poles. The adjustable slots make these tarp shelter poles more adaptable to a wider range of tarp sizes as well as enable you to adjust the tension once you’ve set up.The HYOUT Adjustable Tarp Poles are very similar to the Azarxis tarp poles above; however, these have about a foot of adjustability which is great for creating pitched shelters for shedding heavy rain. They come in a nice fabric roll bag with 3 x stakes and guy lines, which weigh an additional 140 grams, but you can leave that at home if you wish. They are fairly thin but sturdy nonetheless and will hold up to strong wind or pools of water on your tarp in heavy rain. At just 364 grams for the pair, these tarp poles are super lightweight and lighter than a pair of most hiking poles. The Thermarest Tranquility 6 Awning Poles are designed to be used specifically with the Tranquility 6 tent, but they work perfectly well with tarps for shelter building. You can set a tarp up over your tent for extra protection or use it on its own with a sleeping pad and bag.
