I have two sides of the Polish Lavvu style tent but no poles.

I was thinking that a good study walking stick would be fine for a central pole and would mean that you wouldn't have extra weight with poles.

Can anyone suggest what height this would need to be? What height are the poles that come with the whole lavvu setup?

Also, anyone know where to source just the poles? In case I decide to go for that option instead?

Thanks!
 
Total assembled length of pole 1415mm (that's 6 sections in all)

IIRC HillBill used some Aldi/Wilko washing line extending poles instead, 3 or 4 of and made a more traditional teepee style arrangement which worked very well - post is on the forum somewhere.
