Learn how to safely set up and adjust the Teleskopstång 200 telescopic pole for your Tentipi tipi or tarp, including common mistakes to avoid.
Quick answer
The Teleskopstång 200 is a telescopic pole that extends your Tentipi tarp or tipi setup by raising additional sections. Use it with a Zirkonflex or Safirflex frame and a Flexrem strap for secure, adjustable support.
When to use the Teleskopstång 200
This pole is designed for tarps and for complementing Zirkonflex or Safirflex frames when you need to lift more sections of your tipi. It gives you extra headroom or better ventilation without swapping your main pole.
The pole does not include a storage bag – you need to buy the Teleskopstångspåse separately. This is a small extra cost but keeps the pole clean and easy to transport.
Step-by-step setup
- 1. Extend the pole to desired height: Unlock each telescopic section by turning the locking collar counterclockwise. Slide the sections out one by one until the pole reaches the height you need. Tighten each collar clockwise by hand – do not overtighten. Common mistake: extending all sections at once can cause the pole to buckle. Extend one section at a time and lock it before moving to the next.
- 2. Attach the pole to the frame: Insert the top end of the Teleskopstång into the designated socket on your Zirkonflex or Safirflex frame. If you are using it with a tarp, hook the pole tip into the tarp’s center ring or grommet. Check that the pole is fully seated in the socket – a loose connection can slip under wind load.
- 3. Secure with the Flexrem strap: Wrap the Flexrem strap around the pole and the frame section just below the socket. Tighten the strap until the pole feels firm. This prevents the pole from sliding down during use. Do not skip the strap – without it the pole can drop if the locking collars loosen slightly.
- 4. Adjust tension and recheck stability: Gently push the pole sideways to test for wobble. If it moves, loosen the collars slightly, adjust the section length, and retighten. Repeat until the pole stands firm with no play. A pole that is too short will not reach the frame; one that is too long will bow the fabric. Aim for a straight, vertical line.
- 5. Dismantle in reverse order: Remove the Flexrem strap, lower the pole, and collapse each section by loosening the collar and sliding it down. Clean dirt or moisture from the sections before storing to prevent corrosion. Never force a stuck section – tap the collar gently with a rubber mallet or your palm. Forcing can damage the locking mechanism.
