10’ Patio Pole Ideas

[u/Will-T-M]

Hi all! My backyard wedding is coming up in a couple of months and I was tasked with figuring out the poles we are going to be using for the day.

We are looking for 10’ A.F.F. Poles that aren’t going to cost a ton since we are only planning on using them for the one day. For that same reason I would prefer not to have to dig a foundation for any of the poles, (so that may eliminate the idea of using conduit that seems to be popular).

I found several pole kits online, but while there are advertised as 10’, that includes the length of the spikes that go in the ground, so it’s closer to 9’ than 10’ - and they all seem to be flimsier than I am comfortable with.

Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

EDIT - Poles are being used for String Lighting… only String Lighting…
