Replacement Swag Tension Pole

If you're having a problem with getting around the middle support get the center pole .... It solves the problem.

A must have for swag.

Purchased the swag tent because would fit in floor of my boat. Pole is very convenient as I can set up without needing to tie off both ends.

I’ve been using the Kodiak Canvas swag for a couple years now. I decided to add the tension pole this season. As if setup wasn’t already easy enough, it makes it that much easier. No more guy lines required. You may still want to guy out the ends to add a little airflow, but not required. Love it.

In my opinion, this should just be a standard part of the swag tent that ships with it. Unlike a more traditional tent, the swag tent needs to the head and foot poles to be tensioned outwards, which is only possible with what's included with the kit if you're staking guy lines into the ground. I use my swag on a cot so this provides the required tension to keep the tent upright. It's a very sturdy pole that makes it easy to get the tension just right and it locks your desired length really well (better than a broom pole or a pool net pole do). Highly recommended for every swag owner, but more than that, Kodiak, please consider including this with the tent itself.

It went together well and arrived on time.
I haven't used it yet as I haven't been able to go camping yet

I ordered three poles, two worked as expected. One was jammed and could not be used.

Adds a lot of versatility to the swag tent.

I recently purchased this item for my Kodiak swag. I sat the swag up with the pole. It worked fine. I have not been able to get out camping with it yet. I can't wait.

I have this for those times when the ground is solid or rocky and I need a stand alone tent. Perfect tension and ease of use are the main reasons this is part of my swag set up.

I bought it to use with my swag on a cot. Makes the swag freestanding. No issues.

Arguably a necessary addition, to the point it should be included with the tent. With this you can make the tent freestanding very quickly, allowing a lot more flexibility to where you can setup. Fits in the bag easily for storage, highly recommended.

I will join the chorus of those stating that this should be included with the swag tent. That said, I have used the swag without it (using stakes and lines) and it is a quality setup.

This should come standard with the swag. Really makes a big difference when camping in muck, beach or anywhere tent stakes are not practical . 10/10

Awesome for setting up quick. Solid accessory.

I ordered the pole to use during winter camping, in lieu of driving stakes in the frost. It worked great, but doesn't not fully pull all the sag out of the tent. Could be user error.

I do really appreciate that the pole collapses to be able to place within the tent when rolling up. Simple really, but well thought out.

All and all really happy with the tent, and stayed warm durning a winter trial run.

Thank you for the great product.

No need to run guide ropes, perfect addition to the perfect tent!

Listed as an accessory, but I think it is necessary. Makes set-up easier and allows tent to free-stand without needing to be staked down.

Totally worth it. As I normally pair the Swag with a cot, this center pole is a must need. It should be part of the standard package.

I definitely recommend adding one of these if you get a Kodiak swag tent. It lets you set your tent up anywhere without needing guy lines. For me, I needed a tent/bed that would fit in my truck bed and this was the answer to all my problems. My only gripe is that I wish I could find it with retailers or it should be included with the tent to begin with because it's hard to find this accessory.

Good quality, good value, perfect for the task. Necessary for using swag on a cot.

Ok, everyone! If you buy the Swag, you need this pole, period. Do not be a loser, purchase the swag, not buy this plow...then complain. Don't be that person.

So, I bought my Swag a couple of years ago and this wasn't available at the time. I just so happened to be watching a video on the Swag on YouTube a few weeks ago and saw this. I love this thing. It really makes a difference and it allows you to pitch your swag without stakes...which is awesome. The swag is an awesome road trip tent for one person.

Makes the tent even more versatile,

Awesome added feature, tent truly is a go anywhere tent now.

This tension pole is perfect. It does exactly what it says it does. Perfect for setting up the single man swag on hard packed clay or rocky areas by avoiding putting ground steaks outs to keep it spread apart! If you are on the fence about it, just do it. You won't regret it!

This pole is exactly what you need to make the swag tent free standing. You cannot beat the price and the quality is great. Product was shipped fast and I received it in good order.

This a game changer with your Swag tent! It makes set up that much easier and and quicker. Also, if you have a roof rack that is big enough for set up, it allows you to put it on there without issue. Plus, setup on a cot is better without lines going to the ground for support. This pole does the trick!

The pole worked great for my weekend trip! Used the guy ropes the first night on the ground and it worked fine but set it up in the back of my truck with the tension pole and it worked just as well and even more convenient and quick to setup!

Awesome product is set up and take down very easy

I would have purchased one of these at the same time as my swag tent had it been available then. This is a well made heavy duty piece that solves setup issues when it is impossible to use guy lines and stakes and eliminates the minor sag in the middle that can occur when the canvas is unzipped. Every Kodiak Canvas swag tent owner needs one of these.

A Nice add to my Kodiak Canvas swag. It is easy to place, and folds nicely to fit rolled in the swag for transport.
