Tent Poles & Accessories

Tent poles for camping tents and motorhome awnings: What materials are available?

There are various materials from which tent poles are made. To ensure that your tent or awning is stable in all weather conditions, the tent poles should be robust and durable.

Classic aluminium tent poles are most commonly used to securely fasten tents. Aluminium is a lightweight, stable and particularly elastic material. The tent poles are therefore less likely to break during frequent assembly and dismantling as well as during transport and storage.

A hurricane pole made of high-quality glass fibre, on the other hand, is cheaper than an aluminium tent pole. Roof poles are mostly used for tents on trekking tours, as camping tents are generally only used for a short time.

Steel tent poles are the best choice for large tents for several people or for family tents. The heavy tents are optimally secured with the robust steel vertical poles and remain stable even in strong winds.

Tip: Secure your camping tent with the right tent pegs and guy ropes.

Buying tent poles: What sizes are available?

Before you buy a new set of tent poles, you should know what length and diameter the poles need to be. If you use tent poles that are too thin, the tent hooks will not hold in the ground and your camping tent will not stand firmly. The same applies to tent poles that are too thick and do not fit into the hooks, meaning that your tent will be unstable.

The sizes of tent poles range from 7 millimetres to 13 millimetres in diameter, with lengths ranging from 80 cm to 8 metres. Telescopic poles are particularly popular, as they can be flexibly extended to lengths of between 95 cm and 230 metres. You can measure how big the tent poles need to be using the existing poles in your tent.
