I think the green one in the background looks better Shaf

Haha... I tried chucking that away once. Almost got kicked out the house... Just tried chucking away the kids swimming pool too which didnt go very well

Summat tells me the end of the BB pole isn't designed for flimsy tarp designs (although I have no clue if it is flimsy... I definitely know my knowhow is)...

Stick something over the end - rubber off a walking stick, half a rubber ball or just your glove.

now I know where I bought it from and why. Thanks Stu. Whats a cheap method of erecting the other end without too much weight penalty or investment...

thanks stu. Doesn't seem as much rocket science now (for a while... hope it lasts).

You can, of course, use a wheel (or even your bike handlebars) in place of that smaller pole.

[Cheeky Monkey]

Or a stick. Plentiful, sustainable.

It'll never catch on

[ScotRoutes]

Yeah, I've used sticks but "plentiful" isn't guaranteed

Bike handlebars are adequate, effectively a 700mm "pole", with the wheel between bar and tarp it takes a surprising amount of force to lift the bike, in fact I've yet to have it move.

These work great on the end of the poles
