Classic Accessories Boat Cover Support Pole

I bought 2 to support my cover on my 19 footer. While they don't "Adjust" you add 12" sections (they are the pole) I found 12" too short for my front support and 24" way to long. I used a pipe cutter to cut a 3" section and added it in for 15" It fits perfect. Because of the inserts that connect the sections the minimum length for a section is 2" but you can shorten another section and make it any length you want. I break them down and store each support in a zip-lock bag, but you could glue pole together with ABS glue if storage space isn't an issue. I found the base and domed top to be the right size to keep the support in place and not damage the cover. $15 easy to setup what more can you ask for. The top has 3 tie points which I didn't need but the idea is you can tie a strap (Not included) to another high point and make a tent of sorts. and reduce the number of support poles you need. I think if you did that you would need to tie off the back side of the support to keep from pulling it over.

Very poor quality. I've bought a similar item at Cabell for about $8 more and used it for years with no problem until it was lost. Saw these and figured they'd be the same and bonus, less money as I would expect from Amazon.com. first shipment one of the orders was missing half the items in the box, thankfully Amazon is great to fix. Once I was able to use them, immediately I noticed they were much more flimsy than what I'd had before, but never the less gave them a try. They will hold the cover, but once you get a little rain and wind it's over. They won't hold up unless you run straps through them. We had a decent monsoon storm, went out to check on the boat the next day and the poles were laying down and the cover was filled with a large pool of water. After that the poles wouldn't hardly stay straight under their own weight. My opinion.....save your money!

Can't take the support of snow. They broke and will not stand when the wind is blowing, they slide on cover.

When I bought the boat the seller had a PVC frame to support the boat cover. This is so much better. I found the poles to lean and flex under any pressure, but, I placed the pole inside PVC pipe & secured at top and bottom with a sheet metal screw. I purchased 3/4 in nylon strapping and plastic buckles with slides Blue Elf 10 PCS 3/4"(19mm) Black Side Release Whistle Buckles for Paracord Bracelets Strap with Free Cable Organizer I used my sewing machine to make the loop ends, attach the buckles, and loop through the slots in the mushrooms. The cover that came with the boat had numerous stains from puddling. I purchased a new Classic Accessories cover which included one support pole.

They worked ok for a season but after awhile started to fatigue and crack at the connection points. If your on a budget like I was at the time they'll get you by but definitely better out there if cost isn't an issue

This support pole is by far the worst designed, cheapest design, and complete waste of time and effort on the market. The pole is not sturdy, and you will need to tape every section if you even bother putting it under your cover. This wont even stand up on it's own, and when it does fall over it completely comes apart because the connectors are so loosely connected. The plastic design allows it to easily slip which in turn makes the pole bend and eventually break. I am not even sure I will return this on the chance they send me another one. I am almost embarrassed for this company for producing such a flawed product, but I am severely embarrassed to have purchased such a cheap stand. Buy a nice one, you wont regret it!

I'm sorry to report that even tho we have ordered 3 of these, we find that they are not strong or thick enough to handle the high heat of Tucson. We have found that they have bent over, the base does not hold and they fall apart. During the monsoon we have a lot of rain and high heat. Seemed like a good thing at first, but not working for us.

This item is just a plastic pole that comes in pieces. I thought it may be a bit better quality for the price... It is really think and light... This item does not seem to be worth the price paid but at the same time it is as described... I did use it but it just keeps falling over because it literally weighs nothing... have not attached any straps to try to hold it in place... Cant see the quality until you get it... Just my opinion...

Wobbly but I reinforced with some pieces of wood. You get the quality that you pay for.

Excellent items the only fault is that they are too light so kept falling over when pulling cover on so had to make a good base out of wood to screw them onto, but I would certainly buy again

funciono a la maravilla , ya no se encharca mi lancha.

Perfect...it does the job.

Plástico muy delgado y los tramos no embonan de manera fija así que al ponerle un poco de tensión se empieza a doblar hacia los lados y termina rompiéndose, no lo volveré a comprar
