Greetings, I have a pyramid style shelter, in which I use my treking pole as the support. I'm looking to extend one pole about 6".
I'm looking for most structuraly sound way to extend the (one) pole.
Any recomendations?
I need the second pole for something else.
Thanks, Doug
Are your poles adjustable? If they are you can remove the top section and find a pole the same diameter that is 6" longer and can carry with you for when you need to extend it.
you can go to the hardwear store and get some pvc/plastic/aluminum/copper, whathave you, tubing. 1/2" ID should be about right, but it'll depend on your trekking pole. Just cut it down to size.
You can also get this from TarpTent: https://www.tarptent.com/cgi-bin/surfshop1/shop.cgi?ud=CAsLAQoPAgkCAxQXFx0XHQUEAAAIAwIIAggRFAAA&t=main.htm&storeid=1&sortby=itemid&cols=3&c=detail.htm&itemid=102&bcount=1&categories=00011&fromcat=00011
It's the trekking pole tip extender.
I use a piece of 1/2 PVC pipe cut down to size. I glued a cap on the ground end and my trekking pole end just goes into top.
Works great.
