I would avoid the aluminium king poles from Vango as the ones I had did not last long in high winds.
I would advise getting the sturdier steel poles from ESVO tent shop.

Beware of the height of many poles on the market! Some are short enough that you'd need to duck under the tarp/or risk walking into the edge at eye height!
For the opening side wall of my caravan awning, I opted for the steel poles from Decathlon, 195cm tall. In 4 sections, so you can lower the height (in steps) if you want it lower. Only used a couple of times, but seemed up to the task, and at the price, very good value.
Amazing family weekend with old steam engines, classic car displays, market stalls, and full catering and bar. And camping on site - Save £25 by booking in advance.
