The polls are wood, with very cheep male and female thin brass 1 1/2 screw connections, secured to the pols by very small wood screws. Within the first two weeks one umbrella started to lean as if it were an adjustable type. Because of the poor construction. Little over a month later went to lower the same umbrella and got my head and face filled with spreads of the cheep what appeared to be brown plastic garbage bag quality plastic shredded and used fir the cover in an attempt to make it look like palm or grass. Shortly after the second umbrella started to also fall appart. Returning became a bit of a problem causing me to request help from Amazon, this was due to vendor's poor warehouse shipping and receiving debt. I highly recommend that if consumers are looking for this type of umbrella pay for a higher quality one. I purchased three in the past from a name brand brick and motor store and they lasted me about three summers. PAY THE EXTRA ANDROID YOU WILL BE HAPPIER.

The light bar in this is stable and made of one piece of light material. Each end snaps into place on top of the end bar. There are no other brackets. The material is the same light metal many tent poles used to be made of, but I don't know if that is light steel or some other sort of amalgam. No plastic, just some sort of metal.

It is made of plantation wood it is wood that has been grown specifically for our needs(people) usually cedar or spruce(boxwood) which is on the light side but the pieces are weighted nicely they feel good in the hand.

They are metal. This makes the overall tent pretty heavy. They are linked by thin coated metal cables. Unless you bend the poles beyond repair, they seem like they will hold up.

No it doesn't pole is wooden and has a rope and pulley system with a pin that goes thru the pole to hold it up not for everyone but is perfect for me material is high quality and very sturdy.

Some real wood some not. When I put it together I was not sure it seemed flimsy but for the price it has worked out well.

No. They are not made out of wood. It seems like a very hard movable plastic.

No it's a straight wood pole. This is great for pushing snow, not great for scooping though. This is my go to snow pusher I just used it for the 10th time this winter this morning. Both me and the shovel are getting a workout this winter.

The poles are made out of aluminum. You could drill holes if you wanted to. My husband says he would not recommend it in high wind by itself. We tied each side down with straps to water barrels and it held up great. It's a good tent but it doesn't come with anything to hold it down. You will need to purchase those materials seperatley.

The Poles seem to be metal with a painted coating. The other pieces are plastic

The pole is metal. Other parts are made from strong plastic- pretty durable.

The poles are metal and the joints are very tough plastic. Whether the joints are really called PVC, I am not sure. This is a very good rack I must say.

There are two types of poles, one for the big house and one for the gourds. I bought the wrong one the first time and had to return it for the correct one for the one big house.

I made my own flag pole. I picked up an 8ft by 3 inches wood from Home Depot it worked out great for me.

I think that the wood is composite. It is strong and looks good. I have had many compliments on this walking stick.

The top "drying rack" area and the "legs" are made of heavy-duty plastic. Only the pole is made of metal.

Holly G., the poles were a kind of beige color. Hope that helps. Stephanie M.
