Product Information

They aren’t the tallest or the shortest when packed, but they are strong, lightweight, and super versatile when building shelters.

At just 364 grams for the pair, these tarp poles are super lightweight and lighter than a pair of most hiking poles. VERDICT: The Kelty Staff Pole is a favorite of wild campers and backpackers around the world who like to get closer to nature with a tarp tent. These are not designed for the ultra-lightweight backpacker, but they are solid, and you don’t have to worry about them breaking in heavy winds. Then you might not necessarily need any of these top 10 best tarp poles as having multi-use items is far more weight-efficient. Hammocks, for me, offer the most comfort and the best night’s sleep of all three options listed here.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 Azarxis Aluminum Alloy Tarp Poles are a happy medium between affordability and lightweight gear you can trust. The 8-foot pole is more suitable for larger groups, and the set of 4-foot poles is ideal for solo camping, but 5 feet is a workable size for most people and situations.

These tarp shafts are fairly lightweight for the money and offer decent headroom, but the pack size isn’t too good at 67 cm. VERDICT: This is a solid tarp pole for hammock tarps or rain fly shelters and features a blunt spike/tip that easily slots through an eyelet for rapid setup. We recommend getting two for a simple freestanding pitched roof design, but it is tall enough to work on its own.If you consider that your average lightweight 1-2 man backpacking tent is less than 100 cm high inside, you can safely assume that a 110 cm tarp pole will give you a similar amount of headroom. VERDICT: The Big Agnes Accessory Tarp Poles are definitely a close second for camping with a tarp, thanks to the wide feet that don’t sink into the ground. Packaged as a set of two, these lightweight tarp poles give an extra taut tent and collapse down into five pieces that are connected with an elastic cord.
