FAQs
What is the minimum and maximum length of the pole?
The telescopic pole adjusts from a minimum length of 102 cm to a maximum length of 260 cm.
What material is the pole made from?
The pole is made from aluminum, making it lightweight and durable.
How do I prevent damage to my tarp when using the pole?
Avoid direct contact between sharp parts of the pole and the tarp's fabric. Ensure the pole is stable and not putting undue stress on any single point of the tarp.
Is assembly required?
Yes, the telescopic tubes require assembly, which involves extending and locking the segments.
What are the diameters of the pole segments?
The pole has three different diameters: 30mm, 25mm, and 21mm for the telescopic tubes.
Can I use this pole for a heavy-duty awning?
While durable, for very heavy-duty or large structures, it's advisable to use multiple poles for even weight distribution and stability, or consider poles with a larger diameter if available.
Troubleshooting
Pole segment is difficult to extend or retract
Ensure there is no dirt or debris inside the pole segments. Gently twist and pull/push to free the mechanism. If persistent, check for any damage to the inner surfaces.
Pole feels unstable at full extension
Ensure all locking mechanisms are fully engaged. Consider using a shorter extension or securing the pole with additional guy ropes. For larger structures, use multiple poles or a pole with a wider base.
Sharp edges are snagging tarp material
Inspect the ends of the pole segments for any burrs or sharp edges. Lightly sand down any rough spots. Consider using a protective cap or fabric insert at contact points if necessary.
