I have open-box Patio String Light Poles. Amazing quality.
Read the description carefully.
1) Each pole piece is 42 inches long.
2) There are 2 pieces per pole, which can be stacked to create a taller pole. The box contains a total of 9 pieces. So you can build a tall pole (i.e., a 2x3 pole piece 42 inches long)
2) The box includes only the YARD STAKE BASE (for on-ground installation) — 8 No's
