Hi all, does anyone know where I can get one of those pole/hook/hangers for your lantern for outside the tent? Oh yeah and what are they actually called so I'll have a better chance of finding one lol!!
You could try a diy store or garden centre, they are bound to sell similar for hanging bird feeders. I have two in my garden. I assume that you are looking for the ones that look a bit like a shepherd's crook?
They usually come in two sections, so potentially you could use it at either height.
On B and Q website, www.diy.com, they are called shepherds hooks and are £3. They can be reserved in store and come in different colours. Need two myself.

Bit of advice, hold them near the middle to stop them bending, push down & turn at the same time to screw into the ground, DON'T whack them with a mallet as they spring back & whack you.

Got ours from a pound shop, in 4 sections.

Thanks for this advice for screwing into ground. About to put up a bird feeder and was going to use mallet. Hadn't thought of using a lantern holder but it makes sense.
