Question.
Is the pole thick wall conduit? If so, take it to an electric contractor and have them put it in there bender to straighten it up.

Another Question
Are they hollow to were you can run a smaller thick wall conduit inside or even over the outside as support?

I have double walled my umbrella pole for the winds we get here.

I have been wanting to order a few of these swoopers and I finally did!

I purchased 2 swoopers and 2 pole kits with the stakes, it's taken a bit to get them, but supposedly I will get them on Monday sometime!

I just got connected with a business owner here that has multiple locations and he allows outside vendors to setup at his businesses.

The only issue with this is his fees are a little high, but some of the areas are extremely busy. One in particular is approximately 5 miles from my front door (easy to get to!!) and it's a Large Car/Truck Wash facility with a gas station next to it, and it sits right on a major highway and there's a stop light about 100 ft down past the car wash, so there's always a huge line of vehicles waiting to go directly in front of the Car Wash!

I'm sure hoping that it turns out.....

I will take a few pics once I get setup next week and I will post them on the forum for y'all to see the swoopers in action!

They are certainly noticed but I have yet to be able to read one while driving the obvios ones with recognized company logos like Verizon etc I know but the others are just a banner blowing in the windthat I have no idea what its for. I have to wonder if they actually bring in much buisness? :?

I will let everyone know what my results were for the upcoming week. I plan to setup Tuesday - Saturday (pending weather) @ a very busy location and I plan to ask Customers what caught their attention the most, my swoopers or my banners or both!

I will also take pictures once I have my setup in place. I think they're unique for this type of business.

I guess we'll see.....

Due your homework

Great concept,Just due your home work guys...
Found the Banner for as low as $19.00 after I bought one for $29.00..stupid me..
and found the pole set with tire holder as low as $46.00
Shipping is the variable...

Watch out and check shipping rates, I found one outfit wanted $38.00 for the pole kit, but $119.00 to ship it.....

I ordered form the company that is mentioned in this thread, and at first it said $119 to ship, but once I actually typed in my ZIP Code, a lot of that Shipping $$ went away. Once, I actually went through and was just about done with the order, the cost of the swoopers, poles, and shipping went down. I paid $136 and some change shipped ground to my door. I thought it was gonna take longer to get them, but they showed up today! It took 8 days to get them. California to Austin, TX.....not bad for ground shipping and ordering on a Sunday!

I agree, do your homework before you buy, but don't be scared at that first shipping amount that you see from the company that was listed in this thread either, it's got to be a glitch in the system, but you will see the actual amount that you will pay before give up your CC info...

Well thanks, for taking that extra click, "Go where no man, has gone before"..I wonder how much business they loose.
I was around $96.00 for banner and poles. Had to order from 2 different places.
