E&K Sunrise Sun Shade Sail Canopy Pole Kit for Deck Concrete Patio Backyard Sign Light Pole 112’’ Metal Post Powder Coated Sturdy Durable with Base

Bought 6 of these (4 -126” and 2 -140”) to support three 12 ft x 12 ft sun shade sails. Liked the fact that can be screwed together. However, the threaded joints are the week link and the poles will bend or break at the threaded joints. After a couple of windy days (40 mph wind) several of the poles were bent and one broke. Have replaced two of the poles with 3” diameter pipes that I bought from a local steel supplier for for about the same price as what I paid for one of the post from Amazon.

Worked great, moved further back then it needed to be so it was out of the way between the trees. Also found it was easier to tighten the joints after it was placed in concrete.

The bases are heavy-duty and powder coated. The anchor holes are 5/8, so there's some tolerance for drilling exact anchor placement holes in concrete when using 1/2 Red Heads. The connecting threads for the separately ordered uprights are pressed in to the base steel pipe . . .some times not so perfectly square.

We put our poles together and cemented them into the ground, attached our sail in the backyard. Less than an hour later both poles had fallen over and come apart at the seams. Bad thing is we had not tightened the sail yet. The poles both came apart in the direction of the sail.

Poor quality. Bent when they were 1st put up. Decided to use anyway, but came home one day after it rained and 20 mph winds and sections that were threaded together came apart.

This is absolute garbage, if they have an ounce of integrity they will refund all of our money .But more importantly stop selling this infireor product.attn attorney generals

I installed three of these so far for my sails. two of them fell apart in the wind, sail attached pulled the sections apart. The threads on the sections strip out easily. So I put them back together and put a stick of rebar down the post and filled with concrete. Very strong now. Just a suggestion when using.

Arrived w/ scratches, dents and abrasions to powdered coated finish.
