Shade Sail Poles, 2.36in Heavy Duty Sun Shade Sail Poles with Spiral Drill Bit, Steel Shade Sail Post with D-Clamp for Outdoor String Light, Patio, Backyard,12 Feet,2 Pack

This product is a complete disaster from start to finish.The assembly process was a nightmare. It was like putting together a giant Ikea puzzle, with an endless stream of tiny, fiddly pieces. And to top it all off, once I finally managed to get the thing assembled, I discovered that it was actually bent!I hung up my shade sail, hoping that the weight would help straighten it out, but no such luck. The poles just bent even more, and I'm seriously worried that they're going to snap at any moment. The whole thing is flimsy and unstable, and I'm not comfortable using it at all.This is not the product I ordered or expected. I paid good money for this, and I'm not happy with what I received. I'm demanding a full refund and will be sending these pieces of junk straight back.I also want to mention that I'm very concerned about the safety of this product. The flimsy poles and unstable design pose a serious risk of injury.

They are not strong. We screwed them all the way in and when we hooked up the sail the poles bend about half way up and you can’t get the sail tight. We ripped them out and bought wood posts from Home Depot

Got two sets of these because I loved how easy they seemed. Put up easily but when I installed the shade thing it pulled inward.So i decided to try adding concrete to hold In place which defeated the purpose. Had our first big wind storm and they bent. Only had installed one week. Now they are cemented in and bent. Can’t return.Would not recommend using with shade tarp.

This item is terrible. After one mild breezy day the post pinched and brought the sail down several feet. The structural integrity of these posts are absolutely terrible. I honestly wouldn't get any posts like these.

Specifically says it is rust resistant- - wasn’t out for 2 weeks when joints began rusting- the shade isn’t that tight and it still bent—only part that seems to have worked ok is the auger, but if that is rusting I’ll never get the old one out-

The corkscrew seemed like it worked great for install, but as soon as I applied tension to the posts, they bent over at every joint in a curved shape. Wish I would have waited for other people to review this product first. Disappointing.

Find another use for these. Even set them in concrete. They bent, keep no tension. Waste of money!!!

It doesn’t hold. I want to hold my sun shade and if there’s a slight wind the next day it’s tilted over. So frustrating
