This thing is very heavy duty and darn nice for placing your hammock chair out in a sunny spot.  But be careful to not place near house windows.  If the wind blows it over, as it did at our house, it will certainly take out a window.  We got lucky.  I wouldn't want kids messing with it, if it fell and hit one in the head that would be bad.  The bottom section of the 2" tube filled with rain water.  I've been taking the cap off after rains.  I'll fill the bottom section with concrete and that will fix that issue and keep it from rusting through.  Also I think filling the bottom section with concrete will stabilize it, make it less top heavy.  However, it is already very heavy to move, the bottom tube filled with concrete will increase that weight.  It may be tough for little ladies to move around.
