Pole Tents

Compared to frame tents, they have a significantly different shape. The whole tent is supported by multiple galvanized steel poles. And in the center of the tent, there will be poles to support the fabric at the top. For this reason, pole tents require additional installation space so that stakes can be secured to the ground. Also, pole tents cannot be installed on concrete like frame tents. Rather, it is best placed on grass so that it does not cause wear and tear on the steel poles, and soft grass is more suitable for reinforcing pole tents.
