I know the poles are metal. Not sure about the ribs. Umbrella is in my husband's car and he's at work! It's a great product though- we love it!

Poles and ribs are made of metal and painted white. The tightening screws are a heavy duty plastic.

Poles and umbrella spokes (are those the ribs you meant?) are made of metal, with a painted/plasticized coating of some sort. The couplings, where you screw the pieces together and adjust the height, are a sturdy plastic.

The poles are solid wood and they tie together with provided string at the top. There are 5 poles and the poles are about 5' long (solid, not sectionable).

The pole is metal but the rest of the feeder is plastic. It's a great feeder...the birds love it, the squirrels can't get up it & I love watching all the action.

the pole and baffle are made of metal, the part where the bird seed goes is made a very hard plastic, we have had ours for approximately 3 years, and have had no problems with it. a great item, especially to deter squirrels.

Good morning, Esther. The bench is mostly crafted of aluminum, with tubular steel accents. I hope you find this information helpful. Adreanna, Plow & Hearth Customer Service

The posts and folding truss system is made from steel with a very hard hammered paint finish. The canopy is possibly made from a heavy dacron-like material while the optional panels are made from a lighter sail type material.

The base, pole and arms are all metal. The slide mechanism to raise and lower the umbrella is a hard plastic resin. The handle to raise and lower the umbrella appears to be metal, but I'm not 100% sure of its' construction.

You need a special rack for the ribs and we didn't buy it. Sorry we don't know. But otherwise we really like the item.

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

Not a materials expert but the outside ribbing appears to be metal. It holds the same finish as the rest of the hardware and so far has been resistant and easy to clean.

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.

Hi Sharon, The pole, base, fabric arms and crank lever poles are tin metal and pressed steel. They appear to be an enamel coated paint dip or spray. Not a bad job covering all metal, however the screws and some hardware show signs of rust already. I've had mine since July, so far it's holding up, but I recommend it gets tucked away for the cold rainy winter months. It'll probably only get 3 + seasons anyway, but for the price, its' not bad. - George, Myrtle Beach, S.C.

The pole is metal. However the head of the stick that meets into the pole is plastic. Hope that helps.

We have not used our umbrella yet, but I just looked at it and I believe the ribs are metal. They are not flexible.
