Practical Notes

This is a highly specialized standard for a specific tent component, likely for military, government, or large-scale camping equipment.

The term 'vase' refers to the shape of the wooden cap or fitting, not a container for flowers.

Ensure the timber is properly seasoned as per Clause 3.2 to prevent cracking or warping in service.
