Step 4Legs with Cork Feet
The longer tent poles are the Legs.
1. Drill a 1/8" diameter hole 1" up from the bottom of each leg. The hole should go through both walls of the tent pole.
2. Thread a split ring through the holes in each leg
3. Drill a 3/8" diameter hole in each of the corks. The blind hole should be about 1" deep.
4. Install the corks on the bottom of each leg
The corks prevent the legs from sinking into loose ground and the keep dirt out of the ends of the legs. On a smooth surface like wood or cement, they provide some grip.
I chose corks from Barefoot Wines. Their barefoot logo on the cork seemed appropriate for the "feet" of this backpacking equipment.'
