What is the pole made out of? Is it metal? Plastic?

Mostly metal with plastic parts. Good experience with it although you should realize that at full extension there is a decent amount of flex with the pole (i.e. it bends).

The poles are made of aluminum. There are some other miscellaneous brass connections.

Plastic and not super sturdy feeling. Mine has been used over a year and hasn't broken, but not what you're looking for if you want metal or something sturdy to the feel

It has 2 prongs made of the same metal as the rest of the pole. It's pretty sturdy. I hang a bug zapper on it and it stays in place.

The poles themselves are metal. The base is a heavy duty plastic that can be filled with sand or water.

the pole and baffle are made of metal, the part where the bird seed goes is made a very hard plastic, we have had ours for approximately 3 years, and have had no problems with it. a great item, especially to deter squirrels.

It's plastic, but very sturdy. We used it for my daughter's baby shower and it worked perfectly.

The shade is made of plastic; the support rod is metal. I believe the base is a very durable plastic.

The poles are metal and the joints are very tough plastic. Whether the joints are really called PVC, I am not sure. This is a very good rack I must say.

some kind of pvc/plastic. I've only had it a couple months, so hard to say if it will last for years, hope so. It is perfect to use on my outdoor table for small potting jobs.

The pole is two pieces with a plastic connector that loosens and tightens to adjust the total length of the pole. I've had it now going into my second or third season and it has held up fine.

Its plastic not metal. Not very well made as they say. I should have read all the answers.

Metal and plastic. I took mine down after a couple of weeks......food everywhere! Whenever a bird flies from it, it swings and all the food goes on the ground. I would not recommend this feeder unless you pole mount it.

The pole is metal. However the head of the stick that meets into the pole is plastic. Hope that helps.

Everything appears to be metal. I was cautious about plastic units breaking, which is why I went with this one. So far, it has held up really well, and is very sturdy (and heavy). I could probably use it as a weapon in a pinch. :)
