Yes the are made of metal, but the only draw back depends on what your gonna use them forAside from them being made of metal the are pretty weak against hard targets.

I could assure you they're not plastic... They're metal but cheap metal it says stainless yet still rusts

No, I think they're just plain old cast metal. I do however, think (judging by weight) that the moving parts are hardened steel.

I believe they are metal. Although I am not possitive. Mine are already installed. I love them. They light up also.

I honestly expected them to be made out of metal, but they were plastic. Theyre about the size of a finger or a little longer

No, they are plastic and very strong. They have been dropped by grandkids on occasion but still look good as new. ☺

They are made from metal. I was the lucky one to put the item together. The metal is roughly an eighth of an inch thick. Once together the set up is pretty sturdy.

I don't belive they are true solid metal, because the consistancy of the poles are not as dense. I think they maybe mixed with copper or tin with 40% metal. But, maybe an expert can answer more clearly. However, I can assure you that these rails are well constructed and better than any other inexpensive department store rods around.

They are metal if that is what you are looking for. Better design than I thought.

Not so far, we leave them out all summer. I think the metal is powder coated and the other materials are synthetic. They still look like they did when first assembled. Quite happy with them. Bob

Yes, they are metal, and the bag is very good quality. I was impressed with how thick the canvas is.

It's metal. I have used them for several months and no problems at all. I really like the quality of them. I have two.

They are made of some sort of metal and do not seem to rust. They have only been up about 4 months, so time will tell.
