10 FT Outdoor String Light Pole Stand for Hard Ground, Adjustable Globe Patio Light Post for Hanging Outside Decorate Lighting, 2 Packs

Saw these light pole stands on Amazon and thought they would be a great help to our drooping light issue in the backyard. Got them delivered and were really impressed at the quality of these poles. Heavy well made and the hardware was exactly the solution we needed. We have four post on the outside of our patio, and they are not as tall as we would have liked them to be. Adding these light poles made the lights higher and they look so much better elevated on the poles. Might be one of my top ten favorite purchases from Amazon.

So far they work great holding up my deck lights. Only had them up for couple weeks but they’ve been thru some storms and no bending. They look good also. Very easy to put up. Little expensive but get the 2 packs on sale and should be worth it.

So easy to assemble as the pieces screw together to achieve the desired height. Very well made.

Wow. What a complete disaster. Unless you want to put a post every 2 feet, these poles are useless.I should have known there was trouble and just stopped when I saw the top of one of the poles was bent (see photo) upon unpacking but I assumed it was a mfg or shipping error, not because these were pre-used and ruined. I also really wanted to put them up.As I began assembly, one of the sections was completely stripped (see far right of pole photo), but I still plowed ahead thinking I’d just use 8 foot height and not 10 and it would still work out.As soon as I put the first one in the ground - which is a solid claw like 5 piece affair I should add - and ran my light strand to it from about 10-12 feet away (but also plugged in higher than the pole since I was forced to reduce the height of the pole) the whole thing started leaning at each seam from the weight towards my outlet / house.Put the other one in the ground and started experimenting. Quickly realized that any weight / tension of more than about 2-3 feet of light strand was simply too much for the poles. Maybe it’s the half inch of threading? Maybe it’s the thin diameter of the posts? All I know is I’ll never be able to go from my outlet / house to the edge of my patio with these as it’s a bit wider than 3 feet.But I now know why I was sent someone else’s reject: they failed with them and retuned them. Unless I’ve missed the return window I will at least try and tell Amazon that they’re defective so they don’t just ship this pack back out to someone else.I’ll most likely look to local garden centers for solid one-piece poles before trying to hang my lights again.

We were very pleased with our purchase-- we had two poles acting as anchors for the string lights in our backyard. We needed a third pole to ease the burden on the other two poles. This one worked perfectly! What's great about it is the mechanism at the bottom-- it works easy to get pushed into the ground. I would definitely recommend. They're sturdy poles and cost-effective.

I concrete the pole to a pot and wanted to run lights on it. The pole bend right away. Waste of money.

Perfect pole to string lights on in my garden.

Needed something to lift a cable off the ground between our garage and home. Comcast couldn't be bothered, Verizon extender didn't help, so had to get creative. So I bought a set of these, ran the cable, and installed small solar outdoor lights (also from Amazon) and solved the wireless issue, lit the walkway, and spent less than if I had added to my monthly internet bill.

Bought two and installed one and it's bending. I would no recommend. The post is small, thin and bends just with string lights. Very cheaply made.I've missed the return date otherwise I'd be returning them.
