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.

Tips are not for all types.

Would Not Recommend

The price was steep considering other brands are a few bucks lower. The quality and assembly was.not bad. I do wish the top of popes had a better way to secure the strings.

Great buy!

Would Recommend

I went in the store planning to buy bamboo to hold the light strings up high. I was pleasantly surprised to find these extension poles in the string lights section. These poles are super to use because they have a plate at the bottom that screws into the dirt to help hold the pole straight and secure in the ground. And, the open ring at the top made it very easy to attach the light string to the pole. Because the pole is a two-piece pole, it was nice to put the string in the top ring and the...

String Light Pole

Would Recommend

Well built and once in the ground are good to go. You can't place them too far apart as the weight of the lights will strain their stiffness and cause them to lean. They worked great for me.

Poles bend, doesn’t hold weight

Would Not Recommend

We were super excited to set up our string lights from Harbor Breeze. These poles could not hold up to the weight of the lights at all and bent at the join between the poles. You get what you pay for, definitely get something sturdier.

poor quality

Would Not Recommend

First, I had a missing screw to one of the poles. But, overall, would not recommend to anyone. Not study. Would not stay up straight. Maybe the base needs to be longer for it to work

Adequate, but not exceptional

Would Recommend

Easy to assembly, but it’d be better if the top ring was narrow gauge into order to pierce typical attachment on string lights. The pole/stake isn’t very deep, so with a single rain, the pole started to slant. It’d be helpful if the pole came with an attachment cable to tie back the pole to alleviate the slant.
