Review on 112'' Steel Post Light Pole Kit With Base Plate And Bracket Clamp For Deck, Patio & Backyard Sun Shade Sail - 3’’ Diameter Powder Coated. by Rodney Bullock

I have several sun sails over a patio attached to the house and a pavilion. I decided to add 2 more so I needed a new anchor point so purchased this item despite not exactly great reviews. Lesson learned. Put some holes in my slab, got it bolted down, and attached one sail to it. Hand tightened the hardware and immediately noticed a bend in the pole. Turned the turnbuckle a couple of times to give it the least bit of tension I thought could possibly keep the sail from becoming a sail, and the threading started pulling out of the steel tube. Seems sturdy enough, but the way they engineered the screw-together sections isn't strong enough for even a little lateral tension. Now I have a bent pole, holes in the concrete, and a very light wallet. hoped this would be what I was looking for, as it's height is perfect but live and learn. Hope you don't make the same mistake.
