What Customers Are Saying

Customers praise these poles for straightforward installation, clean appearance, and reliable performance for lightweight to moderate string light setups. Most highlight sturdiness and durability, with the 9-foot height keeping lights elevated without obstruction. Many report they withstand wind and storms well. However, some note the poles bend or sag under heavier string light tension, particularly bistro or Christmas lights. A few customers reinforce them with additional materials to compensate. Minor assembly issues like missing wing nuts occasionally occur. Overall, reviewers recommend them for typical patio use when not overloaded.

Poles are good but one of the 4 I order was used

Would Recommend

The poles quality is nice but the span needs to be 4’ or less from pole to pole so that these don’t lean. One of the four poles I ordered was clearly used. I was disappointed that Lowe’s would send me three new and one used. I sent it back but haven’t yet to see a credit for it.

Sturdy & meets it's purpose.

Would Recommend

Super easy to assemble. Perfect height to hold light strings high and not interfere with people walking around. Pick your spot carefully so you can drive it into soil. I stepped on mine but perhaps a rubber mallet might be useful.

You'll need to mount somewhere for it to be stable

Would Recommend

It wouldn't work just sticking in the ground to hold lights. It's just not that stable...... I mounted to 4x4's on my fence line with adel clamps. So far it seems to be doing well.

Very Strong

Would Recommend

Reviews saying that this pole isn't strong must have the wrong item or an old model. I bought this exact Harbor Breeze pole in a Lowes store in May 2024 and it is very strong metal... no flex at all, with a nice black coated finish. No wobble where the two pieces of pole connect, and definitely zero flex in the metal. It's thick and strong. I'm extremely satisfied.

Flimsy Poles

Would Not Recommend

Wasted $100 on these poles! The poles are so flimsy they don’t support the weight of the lights. DO NOT PURCHASE!
