    Awning poles is what you are after and you should fing them in most camping shops. http://www.gooutdoors.co.uk/ have extentable ones for around 7 or 8 pounds.
    I went to the zoo recently. The only animal there was a small dog. It was a shihtzu

    If you are anywhere near Southampton, your search is over! I have a lot of poles of various sizes. I have a bit of a 'camping scrap yard' going on in the back of my garage. I know I could find just what you are looking for at no cost to you! [Unless you want to 'give' to your favorite charity!]
