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.

Tension pole
I ordered three poles, two worked as expected. One was jammed and could not be used.

I bought it to use with my swag on a cot. Makes the swag freestanding. No issues.

Swag tension pole
I recently purchased this item for my Kodiak swag. I sat the swag up with the pole. It worked fine. I have not been able to get out camping with it yet. I can't wait.

Perfect Compliment to the Swag Shelter
I have this for those times when the ground is solid or rocky and I need a stand alone tent. Perfect tension and ease of use are the main reasons this is part of my swag set up.

Swag Pole
I will join the chorus of those stating that this should be included with the swag tent. That said, I have used the swag without it (using stakes and lines) and it is a quality setup.

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

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.
