Im putting a Vango adventure tarp on a Vango Icarus 500 extension to use as a porch and prevent the problems of rain entering if the doors open. Im looking some advice on the size of king pole I should use for the tarp. It comes with a 160cm king pole.....im thinking this is pretty short. Should I extend to 180cm? Also will I have to buy some longer guy lines as the tarp is going to be higher than it was origionaly designed for " I think"?

You can get an adjustable pole, or King pole as they are sometimes called. The guys are adjustable already, so will probably be long enough.
