Review on πŸ•οΈ Weanas Aluminum Rod Tent Pole Replacement for Multifunction Lightweight Tent - 7001 Series Aircraft-Grade Aluminum Poles and Accessories by Dan West

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A nice way to reduce the weight of a tent by 20%.

Excellent way to shed 18 ounces of weight from a two pole fiberglass tent (Stansport "Black Granite" Star Light tent with Rainfly awning). It went from a nice 5 pound tent to a super 4 pound tent for about $25 - a 20% weight reduction. fiberglass rods. I used a small pipe cutter to remove about 9 inches from a section of each rod and reattach the shock cable (easy). The cut pipe was then cut into four 1-3/4" pipes. A 1-1/4" section of 5/16" irrigation hose was placed over the end legs of the tent's connecting corner fittings to accommodate the new poles could be easily connected to the tent, putting this tent in the ultralight zone for 2 person tents at around $80.

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • Durability
