[pct-l] Tent Poles...

John,

Before ordering poles you need to have a pretty good idea of the design of
your tent. If you're simply replacing existing broken poles you can go to
www.polesforyou.com for Easton 7075 poles or to
http://www.fibraplex.com/tentpoles.asp for carbon fiber poles.

You should note that if there is a large arc in the pole over a short length
then it's better to use pre-bent aluminum poles than carbon fiber.

I'd suggest going with Aluminum poles first before getting carbon fiber.
They are significantly cheaper and if you make a mistake it's not as costly.
