Is the pole and under canopy support for this umbrella metal or wood?

Yes, the pole and umbrella supports or "spokes" are metal on ours. There are a few plastic pieces, e.g., the cap on the top of the umbrella, the ring that all the metal spokes fit into, and the housing on the pole where the handle is located. However, for the price, we feel it is a decently-made umbrella; it raises and lowers smoothly. We haven't owned it that long, but, so far so good!

Metal. It is very well made and attractive I love mine. Really wouldn't want a different one. Just right for a classic garden.

The main pole and supports are a light aluminum. It's not the most study stuff but it's fine so long as you don't leave it open in the wind. It's thin gauge aluminum.

The base is a dark bronze - very rich looking. We just weighed it for you - 26 1/2 lbs. We used a spray can paint cap (used one same color as base) to put over the hole when the umbrella is not in use to keep rain out - fits perfectly! The base holds umbrella up - no tipping etc. Highly recommend!~

We live in Miami and have fairly windy days in the summer with heavy rain. We have installed our canopy using aircraft cable to trees at the perimeter of our yard, tightened up with turnbuckles and removable using lockable steel caribiners at the canopy corners. We just didn't want the look of giant poles, so our canopy looks more like a floating sail overhead. :-) Also, if you use a post you actually need to sink the poles deeper than 3 feet...the rule of thumb is 1/3 below ground, 2/3 above. So for a sail mounted 8' high, you would need a 12' pole with 4' buried. Steel pipe 3.5-4" is recommended, especially for bigger sails in a windy area.

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.

I am pretty sure it is metal, we have it on a platform in our woods and secured wit bungees and some PVC pipe, it is an awesome thing. My husband thinks it would be too flimsy to take up and down a lot but for our purposes it is fine.

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.

I am re-answering the question as I just read someone said the pole was metal. It's is definitely NOT metal, but a hard plastic, as I just went out in the garage and looked at.

Any type of metal or plastic base would work for this. It is a fairly light umbrella.

The pole is metal. Other parts are made from strong plastic- pretty durable.

The ribs are constructed of metal, painted in the same satin finish dark grey as the central pole of the umbrella. We are very pleased with the product, both for its elegance and sturdy construction.

I think it's about 1". It was too small for my umbrella pole so I just took off the screw-top, put the new canopy on and left it unscrewed.

The clamp is a plastic. The ribbing under the umbrella itself is very thin, probably aluminum. Will easily bend in a wind.

We have not used our umbrella yet, but I just looked at it and I believe the ribs are metal. They are not flexible.
