Where is the best place to get pipe for a center pole. Looking for lightweight aluminum. Whats wall thickness would you suggest?
Thanks

Colonel, That REI pole looks like the ticket.
Ray, I'm in lodgepole mostly and plan to capitalize on it but one high spot in the jack pines just isn't going to work

Ruta Locura made me a custom multi-shelter pole that works great.

Aside from the standard stuff, he'll also do custom poles. The pole for my Ultamid 4 goes from 71" to 79" fully extended, 19" broke down, and is 3/4" diameter CF.
