What are the poles made from? Wood or cardboard?

Not sure, they come wrapped in rope. Be careful..... The platforms are covered in a soft, slippery fur, nothing a cat can get a grip on. My cats have fallen off while playing/ chasing each other

seems like a mix, Probably wood chips. My two big cats love it. except for the "cave", its too small for them, but they will fish out toys from it. They love to play up to the third level but dont dare go to the top. It does shake a bit.

The pole is wood which is screws into metal housing. Two pieces. We have had for a few months and it has performed well on condo patio. I recommend.

It's not as flimsy as cardboard, but it's not wood. It's some sort of particle board but seems pretty sturdy.

I am not sure the actual material but it is not cardboard. I believe it is engineered wood.

no, the picture shows they are using the PVC poles you may use wood if preferred.

The poles are made of aluminum. There are some other miscellaneous brass connections.

Unfortunately PLASTIC. The 2 piece pole, assembles and is pretty thick plastic. The tines I think are also a plastic/composite of some time. Not wooden-like as you would find in a "Market Umbrella".

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.

They are made of a type of plastic. They are very robust as I am using 6 pieces and have had no problems with them.

They are wooden. I use them w/ my kindergarten classes. They take a pretty good beating, but will begin to splinter in time.

Not cardboard. It is a thin piece of compressed board similar to the test of the cabinet but much thinner...maybe 1/8 of an inch.

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.

It looks to be a pressed cardboard. The rest of the unit is what they call wood.

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.
