We LOVE the addition of these poles and some string lights to our deck. Our railings weren't compatible with the mounts so we just zip tied them to the railing and it is very sturdy and looks amazing. I bit hefty in price but 100% worth it.
This is a Great pole set. To be clear these are a No brainer. I bought 2 of the 2 pole set. (So 4 poles) but these are so sturdy I definitely could have used only 3.
The poles were super easy to set-up and install. Seriously, anyone can do it. Additionally, this allowed me to install Edison lighting around the deck and looks really good.
I was planning on digging post holes and putting up permanent wood posts. I am really glad that I found these poles. They are everything they said they would be. They were easy to install and look great. I highly recommend them. They are very sturdy!
If the base plate/anchor of the poles were deeper, I think it would hold the main poles even sturdier. I wouldn't recommend trying to string up anything too heavy. Good product for the value.
