Default Pop Up Blind - Aftermarket Telescopic Center Pole

Hello all, last year my blind collapsed with the weight of snow on the roof. Anyone have any suggestions for a pole I can put up inside to keep this from happening? Preferably on the cheaper side? I want something adjustable rather than cut a tree each time I relocate it. Thanks in advance!

Depending on what brand it is they may sell replacements poles. I know they did for the Browning ones. Same thing happened to me. Just haven’t ordered them yet.

Fibreglass tent poles, or fiberglass driveway markers, or even a truck box cargo bar.

Would a shower rod work? They are adjustable and lockable

Sounds like a pole sander head on an adjustable paint pole would fit the bill

Its cheapest to build your own. I use many adjustable poles and make them with electrical conduit as in the photo. They work well and last.
