2 Pack 10Ft String Poles, Poles for Outside String Lights,Outdoor with Fork,Metal Poles Stand for Patio,Backyard,Deck

We love these poles. They were easy to install, we screwed them to our railing at about 4 1/2 feet from the floor of the deck (we let the bottom of the pole sit on our deck, no attachment needed at the bottom).The top of the pole has a hook built into it where we sit the wire from of the string lights.It looks great.

I think it's 2 years now and it's still going strong.I don't see any rusting.It's not.I'm leaning but I primarily use it to have my climbing flowers climb up and over to the other one

These things are TALL! Much longer than I was expecting but it was a pleasant surprise. To tailor them to the height I needed, I just needed to omit a section. The prongs at the top keep the cords of the string lights in place, even with heavy wind. We zip tied the poles to our balcony instead of burying them in the ground and they look nice. Would purchase again if needed.

I was excited to get these and they screwed together well but they definitely need to brace against a deck. I wanted them for our patio but the poles immediately bowed some with the weight of the string lights. I’ll have to figure out a way to make them more suitable for my needs.

Very easy to set up, durable and worth every penny! Im going to grab another set in a few weeks. 3 of 3.

These light polls are easy to use and makes the string light look so cute!

I bought 4 packs of the two pack poles. Some went straight into the ground and others went into pots that have big trees in them. You can use an extra segment from the other kits to add height to your poles but be aware this can cause them to become less stable/straight. If you increase the tension too much on the string lights you can cause the poles to be crooked but that is not the fault of the product, that is because you need to stabilize the base of the poles better. To offset increased tension and keep my poles straighter I used larger landscaping river rocks and wedged them between the pot edge and the pole to close the gap and that worked great. This is a fast way to hang lights and create a nice ambience in your yard without having to install permanent posts. We may remove these later and reuse in a raised garden area later down the line but for now they work and look great! They hold up in our monsoon winds too (Phoenix area). The metal is not super thick but for the price and performance I'm pleased with this product. They helped transform my dark backyard into a nicely lit and inviting space.Be aware you must find a way to stabilize/reinforce the base of each pole. The higher up the better. An example of how I did this with an in ground pole is I placed it right next to a large barrel planter. The planter is full of soil and helped keep the pole straight. As stated above I also used larger river rocks inside of the planters as wedges. You have to get creative and this product allowed for that. I imagine if you placed this against a walk or a fence you can just use brackets to attach them to the wall/fence but my poles are placed in the middle of our yard so I couldn't do that.

great for what we needed them for, they looked beautiful at the party but unfortunately did not hold up well long term in our yard.
