Extended Product Information

FAQs

How tall are the poles once installed?

The total height of each pole is 160cm (1.6m). The ground spike is 16cm, meaning approximately 144cm (1.44m) will be visible above the ground.

Can these poles be used in concrete or hard surfaces?

These poles are designed to be secured into the ground using the integrated spike. They are not suitable for installation directly into concrete or very hard surfaces without additional mounting hardware not provided.

What is the warranty period for these festoon poles?

The product information does not specify a warranty period. Please refer to the retailer or manufacturer (Lights4fun) for warranty details.

How many festoon lights can one pole support?

The poles are designed to support the weight of standard festoon light strings. The exact number depends on the weight and length of your specific lights. Avoid overloading.

Are the poles sold individually or only as a set?

These are sold as a set of 4 poles.

What is the material of the poles?

The poles are made of powder-coated steel.

Are these poles suitable for indoor use?

While they can be used indoors, their design with a ground spike is optimized for outdoor environments. Indoor use would require a stable base or alternative mounting method.

Troubleshooting

Pole is unstable in the ground

Ensure the ground spike is fully inserted and the ground is firm. If the ground is too hard, try moistening it slightly. For very soft ground, consider using additional support or anchoring methods if necessary.

Pole sections do not fit together

Check for any debris or damage at the connection point. Ensure you are using the correct two sections for a single pole. If damaged, contact the manufacturer.

Rust appearing on the pole

While designed for outdoor use, minor surface rust can occur over time. Clean gently with a soft cloth and consider applying a clear protective spray suitable for metal if the rust is superficial.

Lights are not evenly spaced

Adjust the length of the festoon lights or the distance between the poles. Ensure poles are placed at equal intervals for a balanced look.

Cons

Poles are specifically designed for festoon/string lights and may not support heavier fixtures.
Requires soft ground or earth for secure installation of the ground spike.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Unpack all components. You will find two sections for each pole.
Connect the two sections of a pole by aligning and inserting the upper section into the lower section.
Identify a suitable location for your lighting display.
Insert the ground spike (16cm length) firmly into the ground. Ensure it is stable.
Hang your festoon lights from the top hook of the pole.

Compatibility:

These poles are designed for use with standard festoon lights or other lightweight string lights.
Not recommended for heavy-duty lighting fixtures or items that exceed the pole's load-bearing capacity.
Suitable for most outdoor ground surfaces that can accept a spike (e.g., lawns, soil, flower beds).

Care:

The powder-coated steel construction is weatherproof and designed for all-year-round outdoor use (IP44 rated).
To clean, wipe the poles with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.
Periodically check the stability of the poles, especially after strong winds or heavy rain.
Store indoors during extreme weather conditions or long periods of non-use to prolong lifespan, although not strictly necessary due to the weatherproof coating.
