The pole attachment seems to be plastic. Is it a full circle (ie strong)

It's thick and strong. We haven't had any problems with it. It works great and you can't beat the price!

No it's a straight wood pole. This is great for pushing snow, not great for scooping though. This is my go to snow pusher I just used it for the 10th time this winter this morning. Both me and the shovel are getting a workout this winter.

On the one I received there is a round tightener that needs to be loosened and then you slide the legs down the pole until they extend to whatever amount you want. If there is resistance when you try to do this then the screw needs to be loosened further. Also check that there is no damage to the legs or pole, there should be no problems at all and is just a very smooth sliding up and down for the legs to extend and then collapse back again.

It is plastic. But looks strong. I have picture. But I don't know how to attach here.

It's pretty strong, I would think it will do the trick. Just make sure it is attached to the pole securely.

the pole will sort of "click" in before you can start tightening it. good luck

It looks like the part on the attachment is metal but the part it fits into is a hard white probably plastic. It has a lot of power and so far I have been really satifsied.

There is a plastic part that has to be removed. It was on the tip of one of the poles. I didn't realize it at first and it interfered with the functioning.

There is a plastic piece at the end of the pole which swivels. The sponge attaches to that by Velcro to make replacement of the sponge easy. It is very secure so far. I like that the sponge is easily replaceable.

The sleeve is plastic and is made so you can take the pole out and move it to a new location. That bit of plastic although sturdy makes the setup less stiff. I put mine up with the sleeve and it isn't a problem however, no one hangs on this and it is not absolutely still on longer bank or poor shots. Not a problem for our yard.

The pole is not solid. It fits into a sleeve you set into the soil and turns/spins freely within that metal sleeve. If the wind blows with cloths on it, it should spin around. Look on YouTube for videos too! We are not gentle people, but only use this seasonally at a lake cabin. It holds a lot of clothes and is very easy to install, use and we lift out a store away in the snowy winters. Put a cap over hole of the sleeve. All included. A cover too.

Answer below is correct. I've found every tool I've purchased attaches the same way to the pole. Use one and you know how they all work.

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.

I purchased the exact same stand and would be happy to help you. I believe the base came intact (at least I think I remember it that way). The square pole with the turning handle on it attaches to the stand with the handle toward the top of the post. The long side of the 90 degree pole slides down into the pole with the turning handle. The turning handle is used to tighten and hole the 90 degree pole. The neck loop attaches to the ring at the top of the 90 degree pole. I found the base a little stiff to turn once it was all put together but I think that's better than having it too loose. I hope these instructions are helpful. Good luck and have fun!

Unfortunately PLASTIC. The 2 piece pole, assembles and is pretty thick plastic. The tines I think are also a plastic/composite of some time. Not wooden-like as you would find in a "Market Umbrella".

It loops around the pole with Velcro straps and it is pretty sturdy. I haven't had a problem with it sliding around or falling down.

The poles are metal. Every other part is good quality plastic. The base is plastic and hollow to put sand or rock in. I used rocks I found in the yard. P. S. It is a wonderful feeder!
