FAQs

What is the total height of each pole?

Each pole measures 160cm (1.6 meters) in height above the ground, with an additional 16cm ground spike.

Are these poles suitable for all types of weather?

Yes, they are designed for all-year-round outdoor use with a water-resistant, powder-coated steel construction and an IP44 rating.

How do I assemble the poles?

The poles come in two sections that simply screw together easily.

Can I use these poles for heavy-duty lights?

These poles are primarily designed for standard festoon lights. For exceptionally heavy or non-standard lighting, their suitability should be carefully assessed.

How stable are the poles in the ground?

Stability depends on the ground conditions. The 16cm ground spike provides good stability in typical garden soil. For very loose or sandy soil, extra care may be needed during installation.

Do I need any tools to set up the poles?

Typically, no tools are required for assembly. You may need a mallet or hammer to assist in inserting the ground spike into firmer ground.

Can these poles be used indoors?

While they can be used indoors, they are designed and weatherproofed for outdoor conditions. Indoor use is possible but not their primary intended application.

Troubleshooting

Pole is wobbly after insertion.

Ensure the ground spike is fully inserted. If the ground is very hard, try moistening it or using a mallet to gently tap the pole further in. Consider placing the poles in a more sheltered spot if wind is a factor.

Difficulty screwing pole sections together.

Check for any debris or damage to the threads. Ensure the sections are aligned correctly before twisting.

Rust spots appearing on the poles.

Minor surface rust can sometimes occur. Use a soft cloth with a mild metal polish or a paste of baking soda and water to gently clean the area. Ensure the pole is dry afterward.

Lights are not hanging evenly.

Adjust the tension of the festoon light string. Ensure the poles are positioned at equal distances and are vertical.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Unpack all components. You should have three poles, each in two sections, and accompanying ground spikes.
Assemble each pole by screwing the two sections together until secure.
Identify a suitable location in your garden or outdoor space. Ensure the ground is relatively soft and free from large rocks or hard obstructions.
Gently push or hammer the ground spike of each pole into the earth to the desired depth, ensuring stability. The spike length is 16cm, with 160cm of pole extending above the ground.
Once poles are securely in place, attach your festoon lights to the shepherd's hook tops.

Compatibility:

These poles are ideal for standard festoon light sets. They are designed to support the weight of typical outdoor string lights. Ensure the lights you use are also rated for outdoor use.

Care:

Wipe clean with a damp cloth as needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
While weatherproof, prolonged exposure to harsh elements like salt or strong chemicals is not recommended.
In areas with extremely strong winds, consider additional temporary support for the poles and lights.
