If you place your order early tomorrow (before 12:00h), then you should receive them by Wed/Thu, providing there is someone at home to take delivery.

Remember you'll also need a couple (or four) spare guylines with sliders and pegs to support the king poles while in use.

Both Vango and Outwell poles come with 2 guys per set of 2.

I agree about extra guys, e.g. for holding a tarp up all the time etc...

The are often refered to as king poles and are widely available from camping shops. As to height , they should be higher than the top of the door appature , so any thing from 1.8 to 2.1 m ,and cost £10-12 .You could always pick them up on route to your site or even at the destination.

Im curious - as to why they need to be higher ??   if used in the rain wouldnt this cause the water to run tentside ?
