<span style=”color: #000304;”>4 Section .450 Tarp Pole</span><span style=”color: #000304;”>—The max length of the 4 section pole is 54″, the
minimum length is 40.5. A 54 Inch pole weighs 3oz, you can subtract .04oz per
Inch shorter than 54 Inches—$50</span>

If you ordered the 3-section .450 tarp pole plus the adjuster, this would weigh 3.2 ounces and give you a range of around 40.5-48.5″.

Jim, maybe need choose 3 section .450 Tarp Pole Length 37.5 inches + adjuster? For max length 45 inches. More 45″ no need. 45″ and less.
