I got some of the clamps off JK for around £3.00 a pair, and made the pole from 15mm chromed copper tube and a couple of inline connectors, from B&Q.
Made it in 3 pieces so it stores in the bag with the awning. Solder one connector to each end of the middle piece, then the outer pipes just push into those when you assemble it. Stood up to some serious wind at the Isle of Man at Easter with no probs

Keep it real.
