Description
No modifications needed to the tarp, just need to have side pullouts. If your tarp does not already have attached pullouts, please see clip-on-tarp-pull-outs. Combined with pullouts, this pole modification increases room under your tarp. Choose double for a set or choose single for 1 single pole mod.
These are made using DAC NSL8.5 aluminum poles. They are 4 sections each to pack a little smaller and have 3/32″ shock cord inside to go together like tent poles. The poles also include our adjustable pole mod tips for easy adjustment!
Total length is 52-inches without tips and 53.25-inches with tips
Collapsed length is 15.5-inches

Super light weight and worked awesome!
Super light weight and worked awesome! Makes for less guy lines to trip over! They even worked great for my warbonnet ridgerunner bridge hammock even though my tarp pull outs aren’t spaced for a bridge hammock on my cuben fiber tarp. They still gave me just enough room to naturally get in and out of the hammock without worrying about it swinging into the tarp. A+++

will this work as an internal pole mod for the ugq winter dream 12?
Carolyn Palmer –
These would not work for internal. I would recommend using fiber glass as it will bend better for you.

Will this fit the Warbonnet Cloudburst?
DutchWare Gear –
yes
donstang165 –
Could I use these to make a porch on the superfly when not using them for the mod? That would be Great!
DutchWare Gear –
yes they can have the dual purpose and be used for both.

Does total length of 54.5″ include the tips?
DutchWare Gear –
Actually with the tips it is 53.5″ in length and I will be updating the website.
Andrew Derbyshire –
Could these be used with the two person tarp instead of the internal pole mod?
Dave Gantz –
No, these will not work as internal pole mods.
Todd Karriker –
Is the 4.8oz weight for one or two poles?
Dave Gantz –
You can choose ‘single’ or ‘double’ then check the shipping weight above the “add to cart” button. This should provide accurate weight of each choice.

From pole to tie out what cordage is used? Does that come with pole kit? Is it shock cord or paracord? Thanks
Dave Gantz –
That cord does not come with the pole mods. You can use any rope, here’s a video for clarification: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fzk3zSm61zY&t=6s

Would these pole mods work on a wide tarp using the side pull-outs?
Dave Gantz –
Yes.
Jensine Cumbia (verified owner) –
If you have a continuous ridgeline, is it better for the poles to go over the ridgeline or under it?
Dave Gantz –
You can place the poles over the continuous ridgeline.

Would these work on the bonded winter ultralight xenon tarps?
Dave Gantz –
Yes! Just be sure to choose the Side Panel Pullouts option with your tarp.
Rylund Lewis (verified owner) –
do you sell or can you recommend a storage bag for these poles?
Dave Gantz –
We don’t sell pole stuff sacks yet, but the individual poles are less than 15 inches long. So a 16 inch- 20 inch long bag should work.
huntbigb –
Do these come with a bag or sack? If not, do you sell one?
Customer Service (verified owner) –
Please contact sales@dutchwaregear.com about this. Thank you.
Braden Lynch –
Do you sell “feet” attachments, so one end of these poles can be on the ground and the other is attached to the tarp (i.e. so they can substitute for trekking poles or to make a tarp porch)?
Customer Service (verified owner) –
We do not. Note, the DAC Spreader Bar poles are probably a better option for a tarp porch. Feel free to email us at Sales@DutchWaregear.com to inquire about a custom set of these for this purpose.

These poles are absolutely fantastic for creating more room under your tarp. My only suggestion would be that you “booger up” the threads on the ends of the poles so the nuts can not come off. True to form, I have lost three of the four nuts. They are still usable by simply tying an overhand knot after making the adjustments. It just irritates me when I lose stuff like that.
