You are welcome !! They are Tenergy AA NiCd 1000, it may be at the bottom of the same page as a recommended purchase along with the solar lights.

Plastic , I suggest you get the rechargeable batteries and the charging base as well.

It is not that cheap and they do fit in tight. They are were not loose like a previous person said. Yeah they arent high density plastic but for the price they are great. Besides how many clumsy squirrels do you see bumping into things!! The lights have lasted me about two months and thats including my dogs knocking them down and being under water in a flood and they still work.

Ive never has an issue like others or this person below...maybe im lucky? been going strong a year now. i have 30. im also am an avid gardener and animal nut. have 2 dogs, birds, squirells coming in the yard. never had an issue with them falling apart. 4 sections. a stake for the ground, a poll, a center piece and another poll. fit snug for me -

Thin Plastic. It breaks easy... if you bump into it it breaks. If you pull a hose past it it breaks. They look good but are very fragile... even watering my garden broke a couple of them b/c I let the hose trailing me run into them...

They are made of extremely thin, cheap plastic. The sections are placed on top of each other, they are not screwed in, and they do not fit in tightly, so the wind, rain, or a passing squirrel easily cause them to fall apart. Once the pieces fall off, they break into pieces. I threw all of the accent lights away. It was a waste of money.

They are metal...the whole skeleton of the tent are metal posts and very sturdy. All in all, it is a great value for the price. I love my tent.

Metal on the outside. Under the metal I'm not sure. Could be particle board or wood. It's ways to sturdy to be cardboard. Sorry I couldn't tell you for sure.

it's plastic. made to look like wood, but very poor quality. wouldn't suggest buying this.

It's an aluminum. You have to be very careful with the legs because they aren't very sturdy and the paint on the "metal' frame chips and scratches easily.

I'm not sure of the black finish on the metal post but it appears to be a long lasting finish - we just put it up and it looks great and the lighting is bright at night and lasts all night. We are very pleased with it and recommend your purchase. We did put it in concrete base so it won't get stolen as it is near the front portion of the yard.

Mostly plastic, part metal. However, I literally had to pick up the thing and inspect it for the answer -- it doesn't look like cheap plastic, and the base is heavy to keep it steady.

Plastic. Walls aren't perfectly flat, so something with a little flex is a good thing here.

Metal....aircraft grade aluminum. I think it is better than the plastic one.

I believe it was aluminum, It was quite sturdy until the canopy was filled up with water. That is when the frame broke....in many places.

My guess would be vinyl. It is not fabric and it is light weight, which I'm pleased with.

Steel. I checked with a magnet - VERY strong attraction, therefore it is definitely not aluminum. (Whoever answers aluminum is likely judging by the weight. It's not as heavy as one might expect.)

Hi Janie, a wood post will do just fine as long as it in good condition and the post is set in the ground properly.

i used the metal post they sell separately. It looks good and is very sturdy if mounted into concrete.

It's wood. May be a wood composite. Not plastic or anything of the sort - not mine anyway. I've enjoyed mine, it's quite durable and functional. Have a heavy printer on it and it shows no stress whatsoever. Hope this helps.

Particle board. It is not as compressed as I was expecting. We sent it back. Hope that's helpful.

Rigid plastic, probably PVC. Seems strong & durable after several month's use.
