what do you use for tent poles?

I don't use poles. I use a ridge line and trees. However, I could use my trekking pole if need be.

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.

I use trekking poles.There's also a tie-on loop in the middle of the tarp to attach a line to something overhead.I used this tarp as my only shelter on 2 backpacking trips this summer, really liked the versatility.

Personally, I use para cord and a single waking pole or a 3.5ft stick. There are some great ways to configure a tarp like this.. one that is nearly completely enclosed.

I take loose cordage with me and tent stakes and sting between trees and ground in whatever configuration is best for type of terrain or weather conditions. For more on this technique, you can YouTube "pitching tarps for camping" or "camping tarp configurations". And I'm sure you'll get some ideas

the poles should always stay in place. One end is inserted into reinforced tent material, the other into a round piece of hardware that allows the unit to collapse/pop up. with proper handling the pole ends should give no problems.

Since these are not "commercial grade", and the cost to use the tent once, could compare to the cost of a rental tent..., I suggest you consider buying a new tent. I used the tent quite a few times, but one very stormy day, and the poles bent. Buying replacement poles will be much more work, and the poles may not be a perfect match to the tent canopy. Good luck, I hope this helps.

This should be fairly straight forward for anyone who has set up a tent before. If not, it still is a breeze. 1. place the tent on top of a footprint/plastic sheet if using one. 2. ensure tent is with doors up (zippers up) 3. the two long poles will go diagonally across the tent in an "X" pattern. They will clip into the pole grabber hooks along the edges of the tent. 4. clip the small pole perpendicular to the tent doors and to the top of the tent and into its end caps at the front and back top of the tent. 5. Stake down tent. 6. Attach rain fly over tent and connect the clasps to the tent corners. 7. Stake down or tree-tie the rain fly so rain will bead off of tent.

Yes, we put the pins in the poles. For some reason, the floor seems to pull up. We are hoping that after a couple of uses, the tent may stretch enough to lay flat. Thanks

No problems with tent poles. I use this tent all winter ice fishing in extreme weather and wind. Very durable, easy to set up and take down.

Very easy. Straighten the collapsible/bendable poles (sorry not sure what the name is for those) and slide them through the tent material. Very simple and quick.

Use any or all, my boys are so rough we only use the tent so far, will let them try the tunnel and cube later because only the tent has very flexible spring steel frame.

You don't need to use the poles, however you could just use dowel rods if you don't have any poles. I really love the sheets.

I am not sure which poles you are talking about...The poles that run through the canopy are tent like poles with the little stretchy cord inside and they metal connecters between each section of pole. The poles that support the safety net are probably a little bit more sturdy. Either way, I think that you could put a tarp on top of it. Good luck though. Our canopy has had problems withstanding any sort of wind at all. We have purchased 2 and the 2nd one is not up because we are afraid it will rip again... it has already been torn and repaired once. I wouldn't buy this item.

There aren't specific poles for that purpose but the structure of the gazebo makes it so that you can wrap things around the top frame. I added a string of outdoor solar lights just by wrapping the cord around the frame and securing with twist ties. I imagine with a lightweight material, you could add curtains. You might have to be a bit crafty to get it to work right. Hope this helps.

You get 4 main poles that hold the tent up. They over 6 ft. They are very easy to use and set up.

No. The plastic are to cheap. You can use tent camping stakes. They work better.

Those fit most poles. I've had poles that were different sizes and different brands and those worked well.

Yes, you will need to secure them to the poles of either item. They are made to wrap around the legs. I am not sure either a tent or screen house has this type of leg poles.

I used an old teacher ball pole. You know the ones in a tire with cement. Worked great.
