What outdoor telescoping products can Upsilon make?

Upsilon makes tent poles, tarp poles, awning poles, roasting sticks, clothesline poles and net handles, from bare telescoping tubing to retail-ready products.

Aluminum or stainless steel for camping poles?

For light weight choose anodized aluminum, ideal for tent and tarp poles; for roasting sticks that touch fire and food, choose stainless steel.

How do you make a pole pack short yet stay strong?

Upsilon works back from the packed length to set section count and length, then adds strength with fluted tubing or a thicker wall.

Do sun and rain shorten a telescoping pole's life?

Upsilon chooses material and finish for the environment: anodized aluminum resists weather and will not rust, and stainless steel suits long-term outdoor use; the spring clips are phosphor bronze and do not rust. Coastal products get a marine-grade finish as well.

Can roasting sticks be food-contact tested?

Yes. Upsilon can arrange food-contact testing on request for products that touch food.

Can you deliver retail-ready packaging?

Yes. Upsilon produces printed boxes, barcodes, instructions and RFID hang tags.

What are the MOQ and lead time for outdoor products?

Finished and retail-ready products start at 3,000 pcs per SKU; bare telescoping tubing has no MOQ. Samples in stock diameters take 7–10 days; production takes 30–45 days after order confirmation.

What we can do for tool brands
Choosing an Alloy

The product design and the market are yours. Our job is to make it, make it well, and ship it.

Light, yet strong

Anodized aluminum does most of the work; for more strength, use fluted tubing or a thicker wall.

Packs short, fits a backpack

Section count and length are worked back from the packed length.

Outdoor example: Clothesline poles and net handles.

Built for wind and sun
