{"product_id":"kastanje-houten-middenpaal-4-00-meter-paaldop","title":"Chestnut Centre Pole 4.00 m + Pole Cap","description":"\u003ch2\u003eChestnut centre pole 4.00 m with pole cap\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe centre pole carries the ridge of your stretch tent and sets the height of its highest point. This chestnut pole of 4.00 metres is the shortest centre pole in the chestnut range and comes with a rubber cap. Chestnut is untreated timber with the bark left on: every pole has its own curve and grain, and weathers grey outdoors on its own. It suits weddings and garden parties as much as campsites and glamping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhen do you choose the 4.00 m centre pole?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe difference between your side poles and your centre pole sets the shape of the tent. The greater that height difference, the more fall the fabric gets and the better rainwater runs off. 4.00 metres is the shortest centre pole in chestnut and suits smaller tents with side poles of \u003ca href=\"\/products\/houten-paal-250-cm\"\u003e2.50\u003c\/a\u003e or \u003ca href=\"\/products\/houten-paal-3-00-meter\"\u003e3.00 metres\u003c\/a\u003e. For more ridge height, look at the centre pole in \u003ca href=\"\/products\/kastanje-houten-middenpaal-4-50-meter-paaldop\"\u003e4.50 metres\u003c\/a\u003e or \u003ca href=\"\/products\/kastanje-houten-middenpaal-5-00-meter-paaldop\"\u003e5.00 metres\u003c\/a\u003e. Of all the poles in your setup, the centre pole takes the highest load, so do not size it too tight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eChestnut, eucalyptus or robinia?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThree timbers, three uses. Chestnut is untreated and keeps its bark: raw in character, every pole different, and it weathers grey. Eucalyptus is varnished, smooth and lighter, which counts if you put the tent up and take it down often — then the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/middenpaal-eucalyptus-hout-4-meter\"\u003evarnished eucalyptus centre pole in 4.00 metres\u003c\/a\u003e makes more sense. \u003ca href=\"\/products\/robinia-houten-paal-4-00-meter\"\u003eRobinia\u003c\/a\u003e is the heaviest and is meant only for tents that stay up; that pole is set in concrete. If you build up and down regularly and want natural timber, chestnut is the right one of the three.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat fits, and what does not\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rubber cap is included. For the foot there is the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/paalhouder\"\u003ecentre pole holder\u003c\/a\u003e, which keeps the pole steady in place. Pole socks do not fit: they are made for 51 and 76 mm poles, and this pole is far thicker at 10 to 15 cm. The pole bolt sets are for the side poles, not for the centre pole.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTimber: chestnut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLength: 4.00 metres\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiameter: 10-15 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: untreated, bark left on\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupplied: with rubber pole cap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable as: centre pole, carries the ridge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDelivery: by arrangement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey advantages\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUntreated chestnut, every pole unique in curve and bark\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeathers grey outdoors, no varnishing to maintain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRubber cap included, nothing to order separately\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShortest centre pole in the chestnut range, suits smaller setups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSee every size in the \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/kastanje-tent-palen\"\u003echestnut tent poles\u003c\/a\u003e collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDelivery of tent poles by arrangement.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stretchtent shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46600578760940,"sku":"1393","price":60.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/0026\/0844\/files\/Palen_kastanje_stretchtent.jpg?v=1757506001","url":"https:\/\/stretchtent-shop.fr\/products\/chestnut-wooden-center-pole-4-00-meter-pole-cap","provider":"Stretchtent-Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
