Is there any plastic connection on alumunium arms or at the posts?

I don't think so. All connections are click in type. The ropes are knotted by itself.

Yes, there are some (very rigid) plastic connectors where the spokes connect to the main pole and to the "arms". They seem very sturdy. I move the thing a lot and haven't had any problems. Generally I don't like any plastic bits because they tend to brake off and ruin something that is otherwise good for a long time, but I would put this clothesline in the "exception to the rule" category. If the plastic slides (the are at the places where the spokes have to slide to fold the thing up) were metal, they would make an awful scraping sound for one thing! Hope this helps.

Yes, there is plastic--very strong--at all the connecting parts--you can see them in the photo. I have used mine for over 2 years and love it--except if strong wind which can blow it over.

Yes, there is plastic hinges on the legs and arms where they bend. But it is good hard plastic that can handle heat and sunlight with no problem. I have had two and I have left them outside for days before with no problem. The first one just had a bent arm due to a really bad wind storm that blew it down the street. But I like mine a lot.

They aren't replacable. It looks like they are bound to the post in one attachment. No way to replace.

I don't think so. I can't check right now. But, I didn't notice any movement in the one I got. If you look on the bottom, you might see a locking nut or something for that post. It might just be lose.

not that i could find, everyone was impressed with the metal posts though and wanted to know where purchased

I had them and replaced them with the cycra hand guards.. The aluminum guards work fine but the hardware holding them is crap, cheap metal.. I'd probably just spend the extra couple bucks and get the cycra aluminum hand guards. It's worth the investment

Ours just pushed and snapped in. Don't think there are any threads in there. Not moving mine anyway, but nice to have the option if I had to. I believe the weight just secures the wheels to stay in place. Shelves are now holding a lot of stuff! Very happy with this unit. Nice and sturdy.

There is no plastic in the frame. The connectors are very easy to assemble. Be warned! It says takes it two people to assemble, they are not joking!I'll answer any questions. I just wish I had room for more.

Hi Joanna, They just screw to the post with (2) screws. I had to modify my post because the solar light would not fit my post. But this light is bright and lasts all night long as I have this lighting up my fountain. Good luck!!!!Mark

They do not come with a connector to make them atackable, but the covers for the posts come off and you could get a piece from hardware store probably.

The upright post is round steel tube. The arm which supports the glass top is square steel tube. Only the knobs which tighten the connections are plastic. This is a solid table and everything I had hoped it would be when I ordered it.

They are plastic over aluminum. The full structure of the part is all aluminum. It's more rigid and sturdy that I expected it to be.

Yes, that's the way I assembled mine. I believe they are screws meant just for this sort of plastic. I've had no issues with mine since installation.

One has an aluminum back and the other is plastic from what i hacve gathered.

It depends! I know that is not an answer but here are my thoughts. The plastic is only about 1/8" thick so a sign on a bracket will be stressing the attachment screws. However, if you have installed the post over a 4x4 wooden post you might be able to use long 1/4" hangar bolts into the wooden post and thread a nut just up to the plastic. Then attach the sign bracket to it with another nut. If this is not clear, send me your email address and I will send a drawing. I am at jlfunk@optonline.net. Good luck

for future reference use a magnet, magnets don't stick to alum. or chrome "Plated" haha, plastic.

No, no plastic parts making contact, and even more important, the heating chamber is made of stainless steel, so no fear of aluminum intake.

They are aluminum just like the rest of the frame held together with plastic interlocking clasps. I have a single spring mattress on them and so far it has been a comfortable sleep.
