MIAMI, OK 74354 . 918-540-2435 To Whom It May Concern~ Following is information on our tent that is requested from time to time~ The queStions usually regard longevity~ wind capacity, etc. We have certain strengths, tensile, etc. that are guaranteed by our suppliers. Our suppliers are controlled by government regulated laboratories. We have industry standards to follQw in the tent business. We build a tent that is much stronger than in!fustry standard. Our own experience, since 1980, and over 2000 tents in 126 countries and 50 states, has shown the superior construction of our tents against wind, rain and snow loads. And f1naIly~ we guarantee customer satisfaction in writing. The following will cover the information you need. Center poles: (50' and wider) These are extruded under federal controls for aluminum by Jarl Extrusions, a division of Alcan Aluminum Corp. They are made, specifically, of structural grade~ the strongest kind, called 6061 T6. The tensile strength is officially 38~000 lbs PSI "Ultimate", and 35,000 PSI "Yield". We have sold about 2,000 aluminum center poles of all sizes. They just don't break. The winch pole galvanized cable has a breaking strength in excess of 7 tons, and all you can put on it is a few hundred pounds. The winch is rated by Dutton Lainson conservatively at 2000 lbs, which again~ with a maximum of a few hundred pounds on each pole, you can exceed only if you try to stretch a taut rope or two with it. - ( Center poles: (20' - 40') & Quarter poles: (60' and wider.) These are made by Wheatland Steel of Little Rock, AR of high-tensile steel. The physical tests prove the tensile strength in Ibs. PSI at 59,680 ultimate, and 47,290 yield. As tested by us, to compete against the best of hardwood wall poles, we fQWld them to be about 20% stronger. We stood in the middle of them with each end of the pole on a saw horse. They took 175 pounds with some bouncing. This has been one of our most reliable tests for wall, quarter, and center poles for the last 14 years. They have several additional advantages, including the impossibility of splinters. Their dimensions are, top pipe diameter 2.375: wall .095, base pipe diameter 2.875: wall .1 10. To date, the galvanized quarter poles have never bent. Wall Poles: These were tested as described above and with the same results. Further, the large galvanized foot has just twice the cross section Of our old wood wall poles. That means it will stand on sod and other soft surfaces with much less tendency to sink in. One of our 60' tents stood for days this Spring in flood waters without sinking in at all. Dimensions are, diameter 1.66", wall.OSS". (Our 7.5" wall poles have_a ~a11 thickness of .065. None of these has bent yet either.) I "Enlarge the place of thy tent and let them stretch forth the curtains of thine habitations; spare not, lengthen thy cords and strengthen thy stakes.
