Adapt To Any Terrain

We’re big fans of camping tarps here at Alton, but we’ll be the first to admit that they aren’t ideal for certain environments, such as deserts, open plains or high alpine regions. Until now, that is. Our Telescopic Carbon Tarp Pole gives you complete control to choose where and how you build your shelter – without worrying about whether or not you’ll have access to trees or other supports for your shelter.

Unlock New Shelter Configurations

Use one, two, or more Tarp Poles to create your own fully-customised shelter configurations. Camping with a group of mates? Use two to four Tarp Poles with our 3m x 4m Ultralight Tarp to build a spacious communal shelter. Solo adventure? With just one Tarp Pole you’ll be equipped to build a secure, taut shelter in any environment.

Improves Structural Integrity

The days (and nights) of sagging, collapsing tarp shelters are over. With our Telescopic Carbon Tarp Pole, it’s easy to fine-tune your setup to achieve the perfect level of tension and tautness, improving the overall structural integrity of your shelter. And with the ability to raise your tarp up, you can gain extra headroom and increase the usable space within your shelter.

Universal Compatibility

Our Telescopic Carbon Tarp Pole is designed to be universally compatible with all camping tarps, not just ours. The top end of the pole has a 5cm removable spigot that fits into any grommets or eyelets on the tarp, while the base has a rubberised foot for enhanced grip and stability. For shelter setups where the support is used against the material of the tarp, such as a Tarp Tent configuration, the spigot should always be removed.
