That is the way most normal folks do it, but you know some Iowegians mount them upside down with the small inner pole down with no ground pad.

Awning hold down poles.

Picked up two more sets of black poles tonight at the powder coater.
Will try to get them shipped off Saturday !
Working on four sets of aluminum poles now, two get powder coated and 2 get sent plain.

Ordered more aluminum today, it'll probably be two weeks till I get shipment.

FWIW, I also think that is upside down. I'm just thinking of the legs on a pop-up canopy for example. It has the foot pad attached to the smaller pole.




Or even the stab jacks on a fiver. The smaller part is on the bottom with the foot pad attached.

Just saying...

I like the powder coated aluminum poles! That is cool and meets the need for many.

Now we need EF Testing on how well the system of deflapper, awning poles, dog screws and rachet straps stands up.
Would be interesting to see the frame and roller but no awning fabric!!

Are those end caps I see on the poles? It looks like the inter pole by the picture, so that would be the bottom pole or the pole that contacts the ground is that correct?....

I like that you can, and will, ship poles anywhere. I've always been fascinated with the shipping aspect! 😀

Just wanted to say "thank you" to Turbs for his outstanding customer support on a minor issue with the shipped poles (unforeseen issue during shipment...). You were extremely quick to respond to my questions/issue and rectified the problem right away.

I give you millions of thumbs up, positive reviews and would recommend you to anyone....
