Does the pole divide into sections or is it one piece? How wide approx is the base & could the base withstand windy conditions?

The pole comes in 3 sections, base is 24" across, and sturdy. My plastic dish arrived chipped but usable. I didn't ask for a replacement as I plan to get something more decorative to use for the birdbath. I would buy again.

Vicki, The pole is in sections. The base is from 1 1/2- 2 feet across. In my opinion, it could withstand quite a lot of wind unless we are talking hurricane strength. I am enjoying mine. Hope this helps.

The pole is in sections. The base is about 2 ft. around or so. It is quite heavy. We can get a fair amount of wind here and it seems to be holding up well. Haven't noticed any swaying at all.

The umbrella holds up just fine. The suggested base was not heavy enough to withstand the force of strong winds so the entire unit at times would fall over. I bought a heavier base and haven't had any more problems.

No, it is all one piece, which helps since all you need to do is collapse the poles and when you are ready to set back up just pop the poles back out. My stands in the corner until I am ready to set it up. Hopefully, this helps you.

Yes breaks down to 3 parts including te base the verticle pole and the top part. Te biggest section is about 3 feet long and I took mine apart a couple times no fuss

The pole comes apart, but I only know because I put it together. It's a bit heavy, at least for me (senior female) so I don't know how practical it would be to dismantle and transport it. Good buy though. I have two and use both for outdoor tables around the pool. I bought weighted stands for them and have had no problems, even when I forget to put them down during storms.

The vertical pole came into sections. I think each section measured about 24 inches. I don't think there will be a problem on frequent assembly/diassembly. The unit is easy to assemble or disassemble.

Hi Bill,The poles break down to 15 inches segments.It is an excellent tent, I customized mine a little by replacing the stakes for aluminum (originally very heavy steel) and the guy lines for thinner reflective ones. Nice tent.Pablo

It is 3 pieces. And it is surprisingly sturdy. It gets less sturdy if you extend it to the max. I've had my pole for a year and it still looks like new. I leave it out on my deck all summer long. I really like it for the price, I would buy another if I needed one.

it will stand up to light wind, we add a couple of extra tie downs to it if it gets breezy and it works great. we use the four tent stakes that come with it and then add two cords, one on each side if it gets to wobbly with wind. it stays up great!

The pole is telescopic and it folds down to about 2ft. long and just a few in. wide - maybe 4in. I just push the button to collapse the top and store it on its "feet' in a closet and it doesn't take up much room at all. The base it about 12in. square when open. It's very sturdy for something that takes up so little room and stores easily.

I haven't used it since the summer so I'm a little bit rusty...the dimensions should be listed on Amazon and if I remember correctly, there are two large poles that go across, and then another two to help form the sides, then maybe another 1 for the front part. I'd say between 4-6 poles. I know it sounds silly to not remember, but it's packed away right now and it's been a while since I used it. Hope this helps!

In my opinion no shelter of this sort will withstand heavy winds. It would need weights tied on to keep down or spikes in the feet of each pole. On a fairly calm day just bury a few inches in the sand and it would be fine.

The base and pole are separate when shipped, the pole attaches to the base by being screwed on a ~10mm threaded mount (did not actually measure this - from my foggy memory).

No, but it does pulls apart. The pole is about four feet tall and the metal pieces are attached together with an elastic cord running through the middle of the them.

The main pole and supports are a light aluminum. It's not the most study stuff but it's fine so long as you don't leave it open in the wind. It's thin gauge aluminum.

We installed this product on a 3" pole we had with our old board. We reused the pole and board and this product bolted up to the pole and old board with out any problems. This past February we had a tornado take down our barn and damaged our home , the backboard stood up to the 95 MPH winds without any damage. It split the concrete base the pole was set in, but the board , rim, and conversion kit was in perfect condition. Good luck.

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.
