The Kiso Tarp Pole (set of two poles) provides support for tent awnings and secondary support for tarps. The Kiso goes great with any DOD tent that has an awning: Kamaboko, THE Dome Tent, etc. The Kiso can also be used as a secondary pole set for tarps - use DOD's Compact Tarp Poles or Big Tarp Poles to form the main ridge line of your tarp then use the Kiso to prop the tarp sides higher.

Polycotton tents provide a more comfortable camping experience. They breathe to release humidity and insulate to keep in warmth. Polycotton tents are also durable, have a more natural hand feel, and are quiet in the wind. DOD uses polycotton that is 60-70% polyester, 30-40% cotton.
As a mix of synthetic and natural fiber - polycotton possesses the best characteristics of both. Synthetic tents don’t breathe, so they become humid when occupied overnight. And synthetic fabrics tear and melt more easily than natural fabrics. Synthetics have almost no ability to hold warmth. At the other end of the spectrum, all-cotton tents are comfortable, durable, and hold warmth but they are heavy and bulky. They also require treatment to achieve waterproofness. Polycotton tents are comfortable, durable, waterproof, and hold warmth without being heavy and bulky.
Polycotton tarps offer a more comfortable camping experience. They breathe to allow air circulation and are durable, have a more natural hand feel, and are quiet in the wind. DOD uses polycotton composed of 60-70% polyester and 30-40% cotton.
As a blend of synthetic and natural fibers, polycotton combines the best characteristics of both materials. Synthetic fabrics are prone to tearing and melting more easily than natural ones. On the other hand, all-cotton tarps, while durable and quiet, are heavy, bulky, and require regular treatment to maintain waterproofness. Polycotton tarps provide comfort, durability, waterproof qualities, and quietness without the bulkiness or heaviness.
Excellent product
I've only used it once; however, it was sturdy enough to hold my tarp on a sunny camping day.
Great setup for adding more room to tent and a shade canopy.
Ordered two thinking it was one, but they come as a set so I have an extra now. So if you need two piles remember it comes with a set! Thanks!
Very well made, adding strength without heavy metal. Very satisfying to see tent equipment so well made. Thank you!
