Army Tent 16'x16' support pole question

[redwards80]

Hi guys, I bought an 16'x16' Brand New Army Tent from GL and it did not come with any poles. I have searched on the net and can't find any information on the length and dimensions of the poles that hold up the tent. I want to cut up some 2x4's and make the support poles myself. Can anyone here that has one of these tents up measure the poles from top to bottom for me so I can cut up some 2x4's. Thanks Guys.

Here is a pic of what it looks like.

The tent NSN is 8340-00-782-3232. An informative webpage for the specific tent can be found at: http://www.tentnet.org/tentnet/basecamp/fte/16x16TYI.pdf

I have an incomplete support system for you. It's got the main frame but is missing some parts that are common to other tent systems, but you can find those easily. PM me for more info if you are interested.
