    Pole Mod - Aluminum tubing choices

    I plan to mod my tarp for 2 full, 10' hoops.
    Which tubing is best for a pole mod? .340" aluminum or .344" nanolite?
    Or is there a better choice?

    Here's one of the better deals for the .344 nanolites out there that many of us have bought.

    Both types of poles will work.

    Tendertoe - that video in another thread is what gave me the idea. And I will be doing it just like that. I like that no permanent modifications are needed to the tarp.

    Thanks

    I sold all my Clark setup and now am working on some minor mods to my new Warbonnet gear - Great fun!!!
