Are the poles made of metal or plastic?

Indoor competitive Badminton net poles are generally made of case hardened steel. Others are sometimes made of plastic and various types of less durable materials, even wood and painted over or dipped.Now, the only Pickleball net poles I've seen for indoor and outdoor use are metal and generally one shade of green or another. I've heard there are some made of heavy plastic but I've not seen those.Hope this answers your question. Have fun and play hard.

They are made of 1 1/2" steel tubing; very sturdy. In our games played by adults, have seen a lot of pickle balls hit hard into the net without moving either the net or the poles. The base supporting the poles are filled with either sand or water. We used sand; so you are talking about 45 lbs of sand which anchors both the net and poles to the base and ground.

Metal. We have had it for a couple of years now and it is still in great shape... Use it in the driveway. Hope this helps!!! :)

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

They are metal on the one I ordered. I love it for storing my daughter's shoes. Great space saver !

They are metal. The corner tubes at the top and bottom are t'ed already and the side poles lock into place when you depress the button. The only thing I can see different is the plastic clips accept the poles either from the bottom or sides so that would make for easy together and apart from with inside the tent,kinda cool. The metal ones it comes with are interlocking,durable,and keep the tents shape sound after you hang your light,filter,ducting,e.t.c.

They are made of heavy duty plastic, very sturdy, a snap to put together and made for outside use in all weather conditions. I weight well over two hundred pounds and use the steps to get in my spa.

The base, pole and arms are all metal. The slide mechanism to raise and lower the umbrella is a hard plastic resin. The handle to raise and lower the umbrella appears to be metal, but I'm not 100% sure of its' construction.

They are plastic. But I put rubber tips on them myself and it worked out well.

I'm sorry, i can't give you a definite answer. I gave them to my grandson who lives a long way away. I did see them before giving them and I would say metal. They definitely looked well made and durable. I was surprised at the time at the good quality for the price.

The clamps are made of plastic (nylon?) but are pretty tough...I got them for a project that I needed them for which require the clamping on to a circular structure. After many cycles of clamping on/taking off, the clamps have yet to fail.

I am pretty sure it is plastic. They do look like metal and had to take it apart to really tell.

They are plastic..light weight but gets the job done FAST. Durable and handy, I keep mine hanging on a nail in the garage, so they are ready to go.

The pole is metal. It is a bronze color, so in the picture it looks plastic, but it's not. It has held up well with no sign of tarnish or rust.

The light bar in this is stable and made of one piece of light material. Each end snaps into place on top of the end bar. There are no other brackets. The material is the same light metal many tent poles used to be made of, but I don't know if that is light steel or some other sort of amalgam. No plastic, just some sort of metal.

Based on the price, and description lacking info on metal tracks I would guess they are plastic. I installed metal tracks and a metal gear box on mine but it is cheaper if you can find one with those options already installed.

poles are metal and the only quality component. just a U shape and sharp to push into the ground. The top part is just corregated plastic cardboard and a super flimsy plastic drink holders. absolutely not worth the money at all. Would I buy again..? Probably because its unique and couldn't find better for the purpose

The material for the poles appears to be a composite material that is very strong. The feet that they connect to is a hardened plastic. The design is very strong and supported my 360 pound body for a week of camping in the wilderness. A friend of mine owns one and we both loved it and were the envy of the group.

No... The poles are press-fit aluminum. High quality. They appear to be anodized.
