PROJECT PROFILE ON TENT POLES
1. INTRODUCTION:
Tent poles that make up varying tent structures are typically constructed from thin, flexible tubes of
aluminum, fiberglass, or even carbon fiber. Today’s standard poles are comprised of multiple pieces
of these thin sections that are all linked by an elastic cord. These sections are packed in a collapsed
state for transport, but have ends that fit into one another to form a full unit. These poles are then
either inserted into sleeves on the inner tent and then used to erect the inner tent or is first
constructed into a frame so that the inner tent can be connected to it using small hooked pole clips.
Two other types of structural members for tents do exist, but are less widely accepted and thereby
less commonly used than the standard poles. One utilizes a hiker’s trekking poles to create a simple,
support structure, while the other replaces poles with a technology known as “air beams,” which are
fabric tubes that can be inflated to provide a rigid structure almost identical to that formed by the
flexible poles.
Tents commonly manifest themselves everywhere from family campgrounds to the high peaks
of the Himalayas. While these products differ in many ways due to their specifically intended uses,
at their core they are very similar. The role of any tent is to serve as a temporary, portable shelter
from the elements and because of this; the vast majority of tents are typically designed around a
certain key collection of specifications focused solely on performance. This project is designed with
the intention that they will be carried by a user while hiking or trekking for an extended period of
time. The key metrics for backpacking tents include low weight, a high space to weight ratio, sturdy
construction, and reliable protection from inclement weather while features like doors, vents, well-
sized vestibules (a sort of “garage” for your tent), and ease of setup are also important design
considerations that can make the tent a successful product. For tent manufacturing companies to be
competitive in the market, they have to continually best their competition in the key technical
categories while also providing unique feature offerings. Due to these constraints, the changes seen
in the marketplace are often very incremental and rarely create a substantial impact on the current
state of the art. Weight, size and weather-resistance are important design factors, but they are far
from the only concerns of avid hikers and backpackers.
Tents come in two main configurations: single wall and double wall. Single wall tents are made of a
single layer of breathable waterproof fabric that is suspended over a pole structure. A double wall
tent, as its name implies, is comprised of two layers with only the outer layer being waterproof.
Double wall tents are generally durable, cheap, warm, heavy/bulky (compared to single wall), and
4
moderately hard to pitch while single wall tents are less durable, more expensive, and colder,
though they are lighter and easier to put up. Double walls tents are the best choice for most users
because of their price and flexibility. However, this is not to say that a single wall is not the right
tent for certain uses, especially where weight is the driving factor. Tents also come in two main
shape profiles, though many minor variations exist. These profiles are largely dictated by tent pole
arrangement. Dome tents are freestanding structures that are generally shaped like a dome and rely
on crossing poles to create a rigid frame while the other variety of tent is the tunnel tent, which is
formed by multiple parallel hoops formed by the poles. These tents require guy lines to keep them
upright. On a double wall tent, the interior layer, referred to as the inner tent are often constructed of
a breathable, water permeable fabric suspended by a pole structure with a form factor that is often
similar or identical to that of a single wall tent. The primary difference in this type of tent is the
addition of a waterproof rain cover called a fly sheet; rain flies, or fly for short. The fly extends all
of the way to the ground, providing protection from the elements. Rain flies also have the benefit of
often being oversized so that they create a covered storage area, called a vestibule, for any gear that
a user may not want to bring inside of the tent itself, but still want to be protected.
In some cases, you have fiberglass poles combined with steel or aluminum poles, this is typically so
in the cabin style tents where the legs poles are metal and roof poles are fiberglass, one great
example is shown in this picture, the Browning Camping Big Horn 5tent:
6
What is less good:
Fiberglass needs a careful handling and it is less durable.
Not as strong as aluminum, so they are built thicker and therefore heavier.
Fiberglass poles tend to shatter and snap under pressure.
After lots of use surface may develop splinters which is not so great when you have to pass
them through tent’s sleeves.
7
Advantages of Aluminum poles:
They are lightweight but strong.
They bend but not break so easily. But even the best aluminum poles will bend at winds of
80 mph or so, yet this is something you can repair in the field.
Disadvantages of Aluminum Poles:
They are usually expensive. But there are some really great examples here in the site of very
affordable tents with such poles.
They corrode and should not be used for camping close to the sea. But if you do so, rinse
them with fresh water before storing at home. Make sure also to store them dry.
ALUMINUM ALLOYS
Most of the aluminum poles tents here in the site are with 7000 series aluminum. This implies that
aluminum as the main material and some other metals added to improve their performance. In this
way the strength of the material and corrosion resistance property is improved. The poles are made
less brittle and stronger by the process of temptation. The best-known types of aluminum poles are
as under:
Featherlite poles are without ferrules to reduce the weight by up to 15%. The basic
structure is shown in the picture:
Press fit: This is a design with an expanded end of the insert tube which makes it tightly
gripped by the main tube, resulting in a durable structure.
8
DA17 aluminum poles: This is a type engineered for larger tents where both the flexibility
and strength are crucial. So these are larger diameter poles designed for large arches. They build
them currently up to 28 mm in the diameter.
9
Steel Tent
Pin and grommet system. Here you have a grommet with holes and you insert the pinned end of
the pole into one of the holes. This is typically seen in back pack intents.
There are some of the most important features of the tent poles that come to mind are Weight, Price,
Flexibility, Strength, Durability etc. But these features should be combined with Tent’s purpose and
Tent’s material.
STORAGE OF TOP TIPS FOR TENT POLES
Spray a cloth with a silicon-based polish and wipe over your poles before you store them. It
will prevent corrosion and help the poles slip through the pole sleeves. Remember to wipe off
surplus so as not to mark the tent fabric.
11
Don’t store pegs and poles inside the tent bag with the tent. They may corrode during storage
and damage your tent fabric. Instead, store alongside and tie the pole and peg bags to the tent so you
don’t forget to pack them when you next go camping.
A broken pole is normally fairly easy to repair if you practice your DIY skills and have spare
pole lengths handy.
For convenience, elasticized cord is often used to hold pole sections together to make it easier
to feed through a pole sleeve. If it breaks you can still use the poles until you are in a position to
feed in some new cord. This is carried by most camping shops and DIY stores.
The tenting capacity envisaged is on demand based sharing basis. Simultaneously it will increase the
requirement of Tent Poles.
The demand for tenting and allied facilities emanates from the following streams.
Trekkers/rock climbers and other adventure tourists
Leisure tourists who wish to undergo the experience of staying in tented accommodation.
Tourists – leisure/adventure/other who wish to stay at locations (because of its physical features
or proximity to special physical feature location, e.g., close to Himalaya) where built up tourist
accommodation does not exist.
School children are also a segment in itself.
The market prospects will depend on the choice of location. It is at location close to national parks,
sanctuaries, mountain/hill-ranges, river-belts, skiing areas, beaches that tenting will attract customers.
This means that Uttar Pradesh, Uttrakhand, Himachal Pradesh, Northeast, Rajasthan, Goa, Andhra
Pradesh, Karnataka, Jammu & Kashmir, West Bengal and Orissa are the particularly relevant states for
the project. The project will be marked by seasonality. However, the promoter may utilize pricing,
promotion among less established segments (e.g., corporate) and such other methods to reduce
seasonality.

The fitted welding machine is then used to weld trim edges of the strip using TIG
welding process. The scraps and inside weld bead are removed instantaneously by the
Tibo machine. In this way, rolled pipes and tubes are formed.
The rolled stainless steel pipes thus manufactured are cut to the required lengths
depending upon the industrial demand. These stainless pipes and tubes are then
subjected to cleaning to remove the dirt. Further, a heat treatment is given to these
rolled pipes and tubes to remove the stresses that may occur due to welding and
formation processes. Heat treatment is given on the continuously rolling hearth
furnace. The furnace is fitted with temperature recorders and controllers. After the
heat treatment process, the SS tubes and pipes are straightened and subjected to
pickling for removing scales from the surface.
In some cases, the required size may not be obtained from the mill directly. Then, the
cold operation process can be used to obtain the desired size. In cold drawing
process, the tubes or pipes are coated with oxalic and soap solution. This solution acts
as a lubricant to reduce friction while cold drawing operation. In the cold drawing
process, the tube or pipe is drawn over the bench using Die plugs.
Finishing process:
The drawn-out tube or Snipe is then subjected to cleaning, heat treatment, pickling
and straightening. The computerized ink jet marking machine is used to do the
marking on the finished pipes or tubes. The pipe or tube is marked with grade of
material, size, heat number and the stamp of third party inspection before passing on
to stainless steel pipe exporters. The stainless tubes or pipes thus produced will
undergo certain testing and quality checks. This process is followed by proper
packing and dispatch. There are numerous numbers of stainless steel pipe
applications, these pipes and tubes are used thereafter as Tent poles.
17
5.2 CARBON FIBRE POLES MANUFACTURINGPROCESS
Carbon fibers are continuous filaments that are high performance reinforcements for composites.
They are about 10 times stronger and 5 times lighter than steel and about 1.5 times lighter than
aluminum.
FILAMENT WINDINGMETHOD
Our filament wound tubes are available in a wide variety of finishes. Their very long continuous
fibers add to strength and stiffness. The manufacturing process allows for longer length tubes than
our standard roll wrapping process. The angles used in the winding process makes the final product
an excellent choice for torsion applications. It is also the most economical process for larger-scale
tube production.

5.5.2 LIST OF LABORATORIES WHERE SAMPLES CAN BE TESTED
1. IS Laboratories (Central Laboratories & Regional Labs.)
5.5.3.1 BIS Certification Marks (CM) Scheme is a system in which the manufacturer produces a
material in conformance to relevant Indian Standard on grant of a license by BIS on agreed terms.
Before granting of a license, capability of the unit/plant is assessed in respect of its manufacturing
capacity for intended products (considering types, classes, sizes, varieties etc.), in-process quality
control, quality assurance facilities (including well equipped laboratory), suitability of personnel
engaged in respect to their qualification, experience, skill in establishing the quality system and
maintenance thereof. Such activities would enable the licensed manufacturer to produce in systematic
and continuous manner self-certification of licenced products ensuring conformance of marked
products (say tubes and/or fittings) to the quality parameters as specified in relevant product standards.
On ensuring that the producer in capable of fulfilling various requirements as expected, verification of
manufacturing machineries & test equipment and after successful testing of sample(s) in independent
laboratory, the licensees granted by BIS, subject to the manufacturer’s acceptance of rate of marking
fee and minimum marking fee as well as acceptance for implementation of relevant STI.
i) Grant of license and issuance of license document by BIS (Ref. Appendix- 7 showing typical
license copy with essential contents including product variety considered.)
ii) Continuous monitoring of operation of license through periodic, supervisory visits, regular
assessment, consideration for inclusion of additional varieties, obtaining feedback from customers
and through market sample evaluation, reviewing complaints and status of operation including
suspension of license, stop marking etc.
23
iii) Renewal of license before expiry of validity or expiry of same. Adverse decision, temporary
and time bound in nature (like deferment of renewal) may also be taken.
1. Reference may be made to BIS Act 1986, BIS Rules 1987, and specially BIS (Certification)
Regulations 1988 to acquaint with provisions contained therein including that for certification
activity and associated aspects like power, function, responsibility, authority and limitations thereof
together with legal standings, enforcement activities etc. Detailed guidelines contained in
Operational Manual (OM) and orders issued by CMD, BIS from time to time need be followed.
Regarding drawl of representative sample for considering grant of license and inclusion of varieties
vis-à-vis grouping applicable for steel tubes, a reference may be made to CMD’s circular under
reference CMD-III/16: 1239. 3589 dated 13th November1997.
INCLUSION-For the purpose of inclusion of additional sizes of tubes in the existing licences, one
sample (preferably maximum for higher sizes or minimum for lower sizes intended to be covered)
shall be tested for all the requirements of the specification. Similarly, for inclusion of additional
classes/grades of tubes, one sample from each class/grade shall be tested. However, for inclusion of
additional types, procedure as given above for grant of licence shall be followed.”

Suggestions to Reduce Import
1) Anti dumping provisions should be made on fiberglass as it is the common source for manufacturing of
tent poles.
2) Aggressive marketing should be done for the Make in India product to reach out to the buyers.
3) ZED scheme should be made available to the units and if possible should be made mandatory for the units
(on reduced price). As it’s a precision work and quality plays an important role for the product to stand in
5) If Raw material is needed to be imported then R&D facility should be there to develop new combination
of material, alloys etc. for the development of alternate material for the tent pole.
6) Cluster development should be done in the areas where the tent pole manufacturing units are there as this
will reduce the cost of manufacturing and also maintaining the quality.
7) Dedicated portal for B2B and B2C purchases should be made for the items same in nature as of tent poles

Government Support Schemes
It was observed during the discussions with, the Stake holders of Tent Manufacturer that awareness
about the schemes of Ministry of MSME or other Ministries supporting the sector is very less. In view of
above, some of the schemes which can be effectively used by MSMEs of this Sector to get the financial
assistance and other supports to set up or expand their enterprises are summarized as under-
i) Credit Guarantee Trust Fund for Micro & Small Enterprises (CGT MSE):
Collateral free loan up to Rs. 200 lakh is available under the scheme. Both existing and new Micro &
Small enterprises are eligible to credit facility under the scheme. The nodal agency is SIDBI. The scheme
is implemented through Public Sector Banks, Private Sector banks, Financial Institutions and Regional
Rural Banks etc.
The subsidized financial assistance ranging from 15% to 35% of the project cost (maximum
project cost Rs. 25 lakh) for setting up of an enterprise, is available under this flagship scheme of Ministry
of MSME. Khadi and Village Industries Commission (KVIC) is the nodal agency. The scheme is
implemented through KVIC, KVIB and DIC. Some of the Jaggery units have been set up under the
scheme.
iii) Stand up India Scheme:
The Government of India has launched Stand-up India Scheme on 05.04.2016 to promote
entrepreneurship among Scheduled Caste/Scheduled Tribe and Women in the country. The objective of
the scheme is to extend bank loans between Rs.10 lakh and Rs.1 crore to at least one Scheduled Caste
(SC) or Scheduled Tribe (ST) borrower and at least one woman borrower per bank branch for setting up a
Greenfield enterprise. This enterprise may be in manufacturing, services, or the trading sector.

implemented through NPC, QCI and field formations of O/O DC-MSME.
iii) Design Scheme: Design of Product in MSMEs is significant for various points of views like look,
aesthetic appeal, ease of manufacture, sustainability, reliability and business processes. Innovation, design
and growth are interlinked. Improved designs developed by this linkage reduce the manufacturing cost and
increase the usability & business opportunities. Application of design by MSMEs increases the value and
competitiveness of their products.

amongst MSMEs. The assessment process consists of 20 parameters and three stages i.e. online self
assessment, Desktop assessment and Complete assessment for ZED rating. ZED rating for MSMEs
