How strong are the poles?

The poles are good. I use this to hang an over flow of my dresses. But I did find I had to use electrical tape to keep the horizontal pole in place (so it doesn't slide off the supporting side poles). For the price I can live with it.

They are very sturdy! We had a different one before, and it was not nearly as strong as this one we have. Just as long as you keep it on a level floor, this can handle a ton of weight. :-)

The poles are approx 1/4" in diameter. I use it to stuff hula costumes in and it's held up well. I also put a couple of plastic bins on top with no issues.

I didn't have an issue with any of the poles bending over the years I had it. At one point I had a few hanging organizers in it to store sweaters. I used hangers that held 5 pairs of pants/shirts as well. I used it like a regular closet and it held up.

These are great. To answer your question. I fell coming down a trail from yosemite falls. The pole saved me from going all the way down. I weigh 190 lbs. Hope this helps. 145 miles on the poles now.

Sorry I don't have an answer for you Rosiellia as we have only used ours twice and haven't had to order new poles yet. Please let me know though if you find an answer since we may need to order some ourselves one day.THanks,Tim

I have the 10 foot poles. They weigh about 2 lb ea. They detach into two pieces for easy transport and storage.

Yes, the poles are metal. Although they are not very tall. Unless they are out in a very open location I doubt you'd have any issues.

Not sure what you are asking here, but these are lightweight trekking poles. Just took them to the Alps and was able to navigate the many downhill grades supporting my 180lb frame.

The pole system was upgraded in July 2015 to be the strongest on the market. The diameter was increased from 32mm to 35mm and the wall thickness was increased to make it very strong.

If you attach antenna brackets up the side of a house or something to stabilize it you could. Otherwise 6-7 ft is about it . Also depends on if it's a wooden or metal pole.

They're pretty heavy and sturdy, but I think a very high wind might tip it over.

The poles themselves are metal. The base is a heavy duty plastic that can be filled with sand or water.

We believe at least 6 inches since we have had them in the ground a while now. We have sandy soil and have had no issues with the poles tipping even in bad weather. We mounted the party bird feeders on top of them. They are the the nicest poles we have found, easy to put together and can move around in the yard. You can't go wrong with this purchase! Shari S.

The poles are made of lightweight aluminum. Each pole weighs 12 oz, according to my very accurate laboratory scale.

They are very strong. I cannot can see how anyone could over torque in normal use. I am very happy with mine

It is heavy when full, so the pole would have to be very sturdy. Mine hangs from a tree branch

I haven't measured them, but I used them with vinyl records, and the poles fit perfectly into the record holes. Obviously records are really light, but I think the hardware could hold decently heavy plates. I mean, I wouldn't try lead or solid gold, but anything ceramic or plastic or even lighter metal should be totally fine.

The poles and crosspoles are metal, yes. They're not really all THAT tall (maybe 8 feet depending on how deep you anchor them) so I'd think you've got taller stuff around than that.

The poles are designed to easily come apart, so I rarely put them all together then compact them. That said, it would be about two or three feet.
