{"product_id":"robinia-houten-paal-4-00-meter","title":"Robinia Wooden Pole 4.00 m – Ø 16-18 cm","description":"\u003ch2\u003eRobinia wooden pole 4.00 metre for permanent stretch tent setups\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 4.00 metre robinia wooden pole is built for stretch tents that stay up. Robinia, also known as black locust, is naturally hard and highly rot-resistant, so the pole lasts outdoors for years without impregnation or varnish. At 16 to 18 cm in diameter and around 100 kg each, this is not a pole you put up and take down every weekend. It suits hospitality venues with a permanent canopy, campsites and holiday parks, terraces and gardens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhen to choose robinia, and when to choose something else\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn a permanent setup the pole has a different job. It carries the tension of the fabric year-round, takes wind and rain in every season, and sits in or just above the ground rather than on a base plate. That calls for a timber that does not depend on being stored dry between jobs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you put the tent up and take it down regularly, robinia is the wrong choice. Look at the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/middenpaal-eucalyptus-hout-4-meter\"\u003evarnished eucalyptus centre pole in 4.00 metres\u003c\/a\u003e instead: light enough for two people to move, and supplied with a top cap.

We recommend a depth of at least 1 metre, then fixing it firmly with rapid-set concrete. That keeps the structure stable on surfaces where pegs or ground anchors are not enough, such as terraces, gardens and paved or landscaped ground.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease note: the pole caps, top caps and pole socks in our range are made for 51 and 76 mm poles and do not fit this pole.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTimber: robinia (Robinia pseudoacacia)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLength: 4.00 metres\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiameter: 16-18 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight per pole: ±100 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: peeled, sanded, not pointed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for: fixed and permanent stretch tent setups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnchoring: in the ground or in concrete, minimum 1 metre deep\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDelivery: in stock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey advantages\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNaturally rot-resistant, suitable for outdoor use without impregnation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt for permanent setups, including constant fabric tension\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for fixed anchoring in concrete\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeathers to silver-grey when left untreated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow maintenance, no annual varnishing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn stock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSee all options in the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/palen\"\u003estretch tent poles\u003c\/a\u003e collection.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"flex-tent","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48203475976428,"sku":null,"price":245.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/0026\/0844\/files\/Robinia_Houten_Paal_4.00_meter.png?v=1787644398","url":"https:\/\/stretchtent-shop.com\/en\/products\/robinia-houten-paal-4-00-meter","provider":"Stretchtent shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
