Tarp Mast 230 cm – Bushmen Telescopic Aluminium Pole, Grey

Tarp Mast Telescopic – Bushmen 230 cm Aluminium Pole, 3-Section, Grey

Tarp mast Bushmen 230 cm is a three-section telescopic aluminium pole designed for setting up tarps, canopies, and lightweight shelters in locations where natural anchor points such as trees are unavailable. The pole adjusts continuously between 95 and 230 cm in height, making it compatible with a wide range of tarp configurations and terrain types. At 450 g, it is suitable for both backpacking and base camp use without adding significant load. The segment diameters of 30, 25, and 22 mm provide a stable, tapered structure that resists lateral flex under tension from guy ropes.

Features

• ➤ Telescopic 3-section design: Adjusts from 95 to 230 cm with a half-turn locking mechanism — no tools required.
• ➤ Lightweight aluminium construction: Total weight 450 g; suitable for backpacking and extended camp use.
• ➤ Tapered segment diameters: 30 / 25 / 22 mm sections provide structural rigidity and resistance to lateral load.
• ➤ Guy rope attachment points: Top section features integrated eyelets for secure tarp and guy rope connection.
• ➤ Removable protective cap: Tip cap prevents tarp puncture and protects the pole during transport.
• ➤ Widened plastic foot: Stabilises the pole on soft ground, gravel, and uneven surfaces without sinking.
• ➤ Compact storage: Telescopic construction eliminates loose segments; all sections remain connected during packing.

Along the exposed ridgelines of the Latvian coastal dunes near Jūrkalne, where tree cover is sparse and wind exposure is constant, the Bushmen Tarp Mast 230 cm provides a reliable freestanding anchor for a tarp shelter. The widened plastic foot prevents the pole from sinking into loose sand, while the locking telescopic mechanism holds the set height securely against sustained wind load on the tarp. The integrated eyelets at the top allow direct attachment of guy ropes without additional hardware, reducing setup time in deteriorating weather conditions.
