Tent poles: Stable, robust and durable
Most standard tents are erected with several tent poles.
These must be inserted into appropriate loops and ensure that your tent is securely in place.
In most cases, the poles are already in place, but if this is not the case, you need to make sure that they are stable and durable and ideally made of aluminum.
This ensures that they are particularly elastic and do not suffer from frequent assembly and disassembly.
Tent poles made of robust steel are suitable for fairly large family tents as they offer stability.
There are also different lengths here, which is why you should check in advance which size is suitable for your tent.
- Tent poles for extra stability
- Robust and durable
- Aluminum or steel
- Different lengths and sizes

Tent pegs: materials for every tent
Experienced campers know that pitching a tent takes a few minutes.
Even if it is usually pitched quite quickly, it still takes some time until it is firmly anchored in the ground and nothing stands in the way of a carefree and carefree night’s sleep.
Appropriate pegs are usually supplied with the tent.
Nevertheless, you should always make sure what material they are made of and for which surface they are suitable.
Every camper is familiar with the situation where the peg is hammered into the ground unevenly and is then no longer usable.
To avoid this, you should always check in advance whether this spot on the campsite is suitable for your tent.

They are always weatherproof and stable, so you can pitch your tent anywhere and at any time without worry.
