Applications
These are US military-specification wood ridge poles designed for canvas frame tents used by the American military. The ridge pole runs along the top centerline of the tent, forming the peak of the frame and supporting the canvas roof. Wood ridge poles of this style were standard components in a range of military general-purpose and squad tents from the mid-20th century through the 1980s before aluminum and fiberglass pole systems became common. Today, lots like this are sought by surplus dealers, canvas tent owners, historical reenactors, and buyers needing heavy-duty ridge poles for agricultural, event, or temporary shelter applications that can accommodate this style of fitting.
This Tucker Manufacturing 9-foot military tent ridge pole lot is in varying used condition. The poles show significant weathering, surface aging, and wear consistent with surplus military equipment. Some poles have minor bends. The galvanized metal end caps show surface oxidation and general wear. Please review all photos carefully — they are representative of the lot. Please view our photo set and contact us if you have any questions.
