Nice work! Where did you get the pole sections?

I used pole sections and materials that I had in my storage shed. They were left over from other projects. I originally purchased most of my aluminum pole sections from Amazon, ebay or aliexpress.

Thanks for the tip--my shed doesn't have any pole sections in it!

Is your tarp and screen a DIY project too?
