| Jun 5, 2012 at 1:30 | comment | added | Menachem | I suspect that the Aruch HaShulchan is saying that because it is used constantly, it would be a pain to have to roll it all the way up every time you stepped away from it, which is something you'd have to do if it only had one pole. If it has two poles, you can close it while still maintaining your place. | |

This makes more sense IMO.
