The BENT aluminum ridge tension rod is specially developed to do without the front guy line, which is stretched away from the vehicle, when there is little space or hard ground (such as asphalt). To do this, fix the side with the pipe clamp of the aluminum ridge pole to the tensioning rod of the universal adapter. The counterpart with the flat side and the hole is put over the spike of the setup pole. The aluminum ridge pole is telescopic from 215-235 cm and is made of a high quality aluminum with a diameter of 25/22mm and a wall thickness of 1.2 mm. By means of a rotary fixation you can adjust the last element to get an optimal tension on the BENT sail. Due to the telescopic nature of the aluminum ridge tensioning rod, you can get the necessary tension on the sail. The use of the aluminum ridge tension rod is always possible in Verbing with the vehicle universal adapter + aluminum tension rod.
