The bars made of aluminum are well made and "is like a one" - there are no burrs or sharp edges. Initial skepticism as to whether the mast long do more enthusiasm, was still standing upright as after two windy nights of the mast. We are very satisfied, the manual is really useful and easy to implement, the only drawback: the hook for the flags should not be made of solid plastic. Otherwise, the mast is really only recommended.
Addendum: There was a massive hurricane with us; several trees were uprooted, a pasture has been downright demolished and the (screwed) flagpole of my neighbors has been torn away. Our flagpole is still like a one. Respect.
