Product Description
This Aluminum twist lock tension pole is a nice add on accessory for the 8101 Swag tent. Simply insert the pins on this pole into the grommets at the top head and foot of the swag tent and extend the pole until the tent is taut. This is a useful accessory when its difficult to find ground to put the guy out stakes in. Ideal for use in a truck bed, or cot.
Why do you need this pole? You don't. It is optional. It gives the added convenience to make your Swag freestanding (without use of guy ropes and stakes). It will also make the frame a little stiffer. This pole will fold up and roll up in the swag for easy storage.
The weight is 1 lb. Ship weight (with packaging) is approx 2 lbs.

Swag pole
This should come standard with the swag. Really makes a big difference when camping in muck, beach or anywhere tent stakes are not practical . 10/10

Tent accessories
Arguably a necessary addition, to the point it should be included with the tent. With this you can make the tent freestanding very quickly, allowing a lot more flexibility to where you can setup. Fits in the bag easily for storage, highly recommended.

Swag Tent Pole - does the job, but not fully taunt.
I ordered the pole to use during winter camping, in lieu of driving stakes in the frost. It worked great, but doesn’t not fully pull all the sag out of the tent. Could be user error. I do really appreciate that the pole collapses to be able to place within the tent when rolling up. Simple really, but well thought out. All and all really happy with the tent, and stayed warm durning a winter trial run. See link below for my initial thoughts/review on the Kodiak Swag tent (YouTube). https://youtu.be/QLYIDb04epE Thank you for the great product.

perfect.
This tension pole is perfect. It does exactly what it says it does. Perfect for setting up the single man swag on hard packed clay or rocky areas by avoiding putting ground steaks outs to keep it spread apart! If you are on the fence about it, just do it. You won't regret it!

Sawg Tension Pole Accessory
Listed as an accessory, but I think it is necessary. Makes set-up easier and allows tent to free-stand without needing to be staked down.

Should be standard
Totally worth it. As I normally pair the Swag with a cot, this center pole is a must need. It should be part of the standard package.

Makes the tent even more versatile.
I definitely recommend adding one of these if you get a Kodiak swag tent. It lets you set your tent up anywhere without needing guy lines. For me, I needed a tent/bed that would fit in my truck bed and this was the answer to all my problems. My only gripe is that I wish I could find it with retailers or it should be included with the tent to begin with because it's hard to find this accessory.
