About this deal

Coming as a pair that weighs just 13 ounces together, you can comfortably add them to your pack without feeling the weight. The 8-foot pole is more suitable for larger groups, and the set of 4-foot poles is ideal for solo camping, but 5 feet is a workable size for most people and situations. The Six Moon Designs Carbon Fiber Tent Pole is by far the most lightweight tarp pole on this list and perhaps in the world.

The MSR Adjustable Tarp Pole is available in 3 sizes, the 5-foot pole featured here, an 8-foot tarp pole, and a pair of 4-foot tarp poles which only weigh 380 grams for the two.These tarp shafts are fairly lightweight for the money and offer decent headroom, but the pack size isn’t too good at 67 cm. At just 364 grams for the pair, these tarp poles are super lightweight and lighter than a pair of most hiking poles. Coming as a set of two tarp poles, you have the option of creating two identical lengths or one long/one short that enables you to create a pitched A-frame tarp shelter amongst many other designs that aren’t possible with identical poles.

VERDICT: The Big Agnes Accessory Tarp Poles are definitely a close second for camping with a tarp, thanks to the wide feet that don’t sink into the ground. The Kelty Staff Tarp Pole is designed to work perfectly with the Kelty Noah’s Tarp but will provide plenty of structural integrity to any tarp shelter set up.It does also come in a steel version, which is cheaper, and an adjustable version, which is heavier, but I think the Aluminium Staff Tarp Pole offers the best all-around performance.

Thermarest is more well known for its sleeping pads, but these tarp rods for camping make a great addition to your bushcraft kit.

Whatever way you look at it, it is still far lighter than most tents and far cheaper than a Hilleberg! Suppose you carry hiking poles or another suitable pole that can be reliably used for shelter building, like a camera tripod, for example. VERDICT: The MSR Adjustable Tarp Pole is an excellent choice for lightweight backpackers and hikers who want a tarp pole that won’t bend in the wind and will support the center of the roof. Of all the affordable tarp poles out there, I think these offer the best value for money and do not look cheap in any way. These make setting up simple and fast on any type of ground and also mean less risk of ripping your tarp on pointy ends.
