If the pole is held parallel to the ground fully extended, how much does it bend under it's own weight?

The window I clean is a third floor window. I can extend to a fourth floor window. To clean my third floor window, I will usually get 6-8 inches of flex, but once you lay it against the window, it's fairly easy to handle. I would estimate that extended to the maximum, I would get 12-18 inches of flex. Hope this helps.

I am sorry I can't answer this question as we purchased it for a gift and they left it up after putting it partially in the ground.

The pole has a standard extension pole screw end (the one I bought). But I use mine to string lights, a box of 100 string lights weigh about 2-3 pounds? Fully extended my pole has some serious trouble with this weight at the top of the pole at about a 20 degrees. The pole works great as long as the weight is at the top and the angle of the pole to the ground stay about 10-15 degrees. I can't imagine pulling heavy wet leaves off a 30 foot roof with this pole. The weight on the top with just a rake head would be difficult enough to maneuver. I hope this helps!

Not really. It is not telescopic like the vertical pole...this is probably because if it expanded horizontally it could be put off balance and perhaps fall over if not used anchored. If you anchor securely you might be able to rig your own form of extension.

It all depends on the person using it. I weigh about 140 pounds and it doesn't really bend unless I start jumping on it and even then it doesn't bend drastically.

I weigh 220 lbs. and have stood on mine with only a slight bending. Which sprang right back when I got off.

I believe the pole is advertised as being 91"There are three "prongs"at the bottom of the pole that you push down into the ground to secure it. The remaining part above ground will be approx. 79". I've purchased other poles in the past. This is definitely heavy duty, well made, and looks great! Hope that helps:)

Not sure, but depends on what you have at either end. I ran rigid down the back wall to get to the bottom, then a 2" flex piece to make the bend to run another rigid piece across the bottom to an air stone. Between the weight of the stone (buried) and the force from the section coming down the wall, the horizontal run would not float, but I try to keep it buried anyway. Good product. Be prepared for the box it comes in. Huge in relation to the piece of plastic loose in the box. I got three sections and they each came in a separate (big) box...

Just for this question I hung a sack of potatoes on the hook, appx 10-15 lbs, and it didn't bend the pole.

I didn't measure it, but it seems like the pole screws into the ground a good 15 to 18 inches. It's very sturdy. The cross bars that hold the feeders are probably about six feet off the ground. Maybe a little higher. I used this pole all last winter and never had squirrels get up the pole, or jump up onto the feeders. You need to make sure the pole is far enough from trees, or porches, or a deck so they can't jump from there onto your feeders. This pole is pricey, but I think it's worth the money.

It does bend. Not sure it would work for you but it might. Sorry, I can't be more help.

The pole itself it about 2", but 1.5" would work as well it material is strong.

The pole is aluminum and the bottom is flat. We had a big t-storm and it took it out of the table and threw it about 20 feet. It did not break or bend the pole or umbrella!

Good question. I will actually weigh it myself, let you know as soon as I do it. Sorry I don't have the answer right now

Oops; after actually measuring and reviewing the other answers, it appears it should hold it without any modifications, sorry.

The weight is actually the same because the extension comes from within theoriginal pole, it's just extended. The extended part is lighter, sothe majority of the weight is still distributed to the main pole. I ammiddle-aged, and it was very manageable. The biggest strain ison the neck from looking straight up.
