When I received these poles, 2 out of 10 were already split. Before I even started working with them, I started hearing popping noises from the room that they were being stored in. After much searching, I finally discovered that the popping sound was coming from the bamboo cracking/splitting. The product was being stored in its packaging away from any sort of extreme temperature source so I'm assuming the poles weren't dried properly before shipping. Extremely displease with my purchase because these are borderline unusable.

Good sturdy bamboo poles, perfect for the hanging backyard lighting I needed them for. Wish they came in smaller sets, only need a few but Ill try to find more uses for the extras.

perfect fit for the job i needed them for

They were solid and I look forward to creating a child’s teepee with them.

Great height and sturdy
