What material are the pole and brackets made of?

Metal. The unit is well made, but it is aimed at young kids. I think it's a little to fragile for youngsters over 12, or so.

I'm pretty sure it's some type of metal. If a child runs into it, it will definitely hurt. Hope this helps

The poles are metal. Every other part is good quality plastic. The base is plastic and hollow to put sand or rock in. I used rocks I found in the yard. P. S. It is a wonderful feeder!

On this model (Ubiquiti Networks UniFi UAP-AC Outdoor Enterprise WiFi System) it is metal bracket not plastic. It's strong and well made. I recall there are 4 screw holes on the bracket (screws provided) . Once the bracket is secured you simply slide the AP on to the bracket until it locks in place. Very slick. The unit also comes with ability to attach the bracket to a galvanized pole. Everything is included in the box.

Yes it is little metal polls with plastic brackets . We love ours very sturdy just make sure you have all the pieces. We were missing a bag. They mailed them out quickly to us. Hope this helps.

Appears to be some type of composite or maybe fiberglass for the cross bars and aluminum for the brackets. They install easily although take your time as there is a front and back and left and right. I replaces the provided screws with socket head screws.

Metal brackets and instructions. You supply your choice of nails or screws. We used galvanized nails and the greenhouse we built is still structurally sound after 10+ years.

Yes the pole is aluminum. The pole has screws to fit into a base. Base not included.

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.

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 mounting bracket is plastic with adhesive strips like the cheapy kind you get for your dollar store air freshener disks. The poles are metal with rubber gaskets. They don't stick well, the poles are very short & don't actually hold up to the weight of lights that are supposedly the right size for them. I installed 2 on my 75 gallon tan; only about a foot apart. I did theexact same thing. One bracket has stayed for a few months and the other came unstuck by the second day.

It is a metal bracket with a plastic cover. It is not very attractive, but it is very sturdy.

The poles are tubular metal. The shelves are heavy wire, coated with plastic. We had a problem with some of the plastic support pieces that hold the vertical poles together, and on which the shelves rest. The poles are inserted into these brace pieces, and some of the brace pieces broke or cracked. I must say, though, that customer service was extremely helpful and replaced everything. We also had a zipper get stuck on the flower house itself, and they took care of that as well. I think they have since upgraded the pieces that caused us a problem. If I recall correctly, they had changed suppliers and that didn't work out well for them, so they changed again. Hope this helps.

The pole is in three pieces, the connectors are very sturdy but the aluminium (aluminum) on the pole is very thin. It should last at least a season under light use.

There's a video online somewhere, but otherwise they don't exist. That little spike screws into one side of the brace. That wraps around the pole and is supposed to be hammered into the side of your house. I didn't like that approach, so I went to home depot and bought 3 metal brackets (pretty much the exact same size and look as the white plastic ones that came with it) and some deck screws. Then I screwed in the base. Pole is solid as can be.

Well, my umbrella has an aluminum pole and crank assembly. We really like ours. Very sturdy.

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 poles come with a plastic bracket and two self tapping screws on each side also same for the rope and clips as long as you have a gunel more than two inches there shouldn't be a issue. For the price I am happy with the result.
