Does the pole divide into sections or is it one piece? How wide approx is the base &amp; 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.

there are two outside poles for each of the four corners and as such the unit could only be split in half. Also, the top pole is made to fit into the bottom pole and you would need to add some kind of foot or bottom cap for it to sit on the ground.

It does have one single 6" plastic stake in the center which seems to hold pretty well. I have some gravel/small rocks around the base which also helps stop movement in the wind.

It's a one-piece pole. It does adjust to various lengths, but only one piece.

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 base is very wide and the unit is quite sturdy. It would take a very high wind to cause the stand to topple.

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 pole comes in parts. So you just have to take the parts apart if you need it for storage.

yes but the poles are so weak that a light wind or rain will break all the poles if you buy this know that you will need to completely rebuild the structure with a stronger materiel I have my over a wood frame. The poles that come with it are completely useless.

It was about 18" wide, maybe 10" thick and probably about 60" long. The poles come in two sections and it is about 9' tall in total it was a few months ago but that should be close. Also I would say it was under 50# but still substantial.

The poles do breakdown. They are about 24 inches when connected. It breaks down to two pieces about 12 inches long.

The pole come out of the box in several pieces. You have to screw it together. It does not collapse.

I do believe the poles came in sections and three feet or smaller sections. The caster wheels are strong and large, lifting the unit up. You have the option though not to use them. The unit itself is strong and holds a good amount of weight.

Wind will be a problem, it is not sturdy. We love it but it is more decorative than anything. I find the bolts loosen with frequency and need to be tightened regularly. Nice piece though. Hope that helps.

Yes, the pole separates in two sections. It really is a nice umbrella. The best quality you can get for the price.

I estimate it to be 12 - 14 inches tall. There are not two poles. There are different size inserts for different pole diameters. Mine fits nice and tight into the base.

The poles are designed to easily come apart, so I rarely put them all together then compact them. That said, it would be about two or three feet.
