Tent Poles Rockland 8.5 mm aluminum set of 6 for lightweight tents and shelters

Aluminum tent pole set Rockland consists of six 8.5 mm sections intended for constructing or repairing lightweight tent frames and shelters. Each section is made from corrosion-resistant aluminium and designed to connect into longer spars or replace damaged segments, providing a compact and portable solution for camping, trekking and outdoor shelter kits. The set supports tents and shelters where low weight and compact storage are required without adding unnecessary bulk.

Advantages

The Rockland 8.5 mm aluminium poles offer a balance of low weight and sufficient stiffness for many lightweight tent designs. Their corrosion-resistant aluminium construction ensures durability in wet conditions and reduces maintenance compared with steel parts. Being a 6-piece set, the sections are easy to transport and store in packs or repair kits, and they allow selective replacement of damaged segments instead of replacing entire poles.

Suitable for

• Lightweight dome and tunnel tents
• Repair kits for trekking and backpacking shelters
• DIY shelters and bivouac frames
• Compact emergency or survival shelter setups

Key specifications

• Material: aluminium (corrosion-resistant)
• Section outside diameter: 8.5 mm
• Number of sections in set: 6
• Designed for: forming or repairing tent spars and shelter frames
• Intended properties: lightweight, compact, modular replacement segments

How to use

Assemble the sections by inserting the male end into the adjoining female end until fully seated; ensure each joint is straight and secure before fitting the pole into the tent sleeve or clip. For repairs, replace only the damaged section by disconnecting the adjacent sections and inserting a new segment. Avoid forcing bent sections straight without inspecting for cracks or fatigue; severely deformed sections should be replaced to maintain frame integrity.

Usage recommendations

Store the aluminium sections dry and clean to minimize long-term corrosion and dirt buildup. When packing, use a protective sleeve or wrap to avoid scratches and dents. For windy or heavy-snow conditions, verify that pole diameter and design match the tent manufacturer’s recommendations; supplement with guy lines or additional supports if required.
