barre téléscopique
DANGEROUS
Doesn't stay in place for long and ends up falling off after a few days.

Passendes Zubehör: Geländerklemme (1 Stück)
Could be better
Unfortunately, the clamp doesn't really fit well onto my balcony railing. The top part doesn't make much sense either. I clamped in a piece of timber as a washer, so that works. It would be better if there were some rubber pads included, that would give more grip.

barre téléscopique
Useless
Three days after being installed, two bars have already fallen down.
The installation is complicated, the tightening is imprecise, and the pressure between the floor and ceiling doesn't hold.
Guaranteed waste of money...

Absolutely satisfied after some initial difficulties
At first, assembly was tricky because the instructions didn’t explain the spring system well. After a bit of research, though, it made sense and the bars have been rock solid for me for the past 3 months. I also secured the threads with gaffer tape, and the swivel joint with a rubber pad stops it from slipping. Overall, it’s very sturdy and high-quality. I added a sticky zip myself to the net and fixed it with gaffer tape – that way I can open it when needed without having to take everything apart.

Telescopische stang Ø 3.2 x 300 cm
Worthless
Bought seven pieces for two balconies, but everything is going back. The rods are very heavy, unstable, and unsafe. After installing them, they just slide back down on their own, ending up crooked so the cat net starts sagging on one side and is pulled really tight on the other. It's dangerous if the rod falls off the balcony or inside onto the window.
Really worthless stuff.

Poor quality
The telescopic pole keeps coming loose on its own, and because of the poorly designed base from the manufacturer, it has terrible stability. Unfortunately, very disappointing and not recommended!

Unfortunately, very disappointing..
At first, I was really happy to finally find rods in the right length that weren’t just ceiling supports from the DIY store. But after installing them, I’m just frustrated. They keep slipping away, even when they seem secure at first. Unfortunately, they've only been up for two weeks and I already have to look for something new. The rods are simply unusable and not safe at all.

Defective and Expensive Product
The idea is good, and I ordered 2+2 units straight away since I'm not allowed to drill holes on my balcony. Unfortunately, one of the poles was missing one of the lower end caps. Also, I was a bit disappointed with the overall quality and how well the parts fit together. For the price, I expected much more. I regret buying it.

Poles keep coming loose
I wouldn’t recommend buying these. The rods have been installed for three weeks now, and in that time, all four of them have come loose at least once on their own. If we hadn’t also fitted extra railing clamps, these rods would have been completely useless, as they don’t hold at all and you just can’t rely on them not to fall off the balcony with the slightest gust of wind. Better to spend a few euro more for something decent.

Drążek teleskopowy
Rubbish
The rod doesn’t stay attached to the ceiling. The plastic threads keep slipping and won’t hold the height. Waste of money, in the end everything will have to be held together with cable ties and plastic clips. The rods themselves just can’t handle it.

Teleskopstång
No no no
Impossible to get the poles to stand steady and attach properly between the ceiling and the floor. Even though I fastened them to the balcony railing with cable ties, they were so unstable that I couldn’t get the net in place securely enough for the cats. I bought the poles to avoid the hassle of building a wooden frame, but in the end, that’s what I had to do anyway. Money down the drain.

Rod doesn’t hold
When it's windy or the temperature changes, the poles fall over. So they're useless.

Absolutely not suitable
The parts fall apart already during the first assembly! Plastic pieces suddenly slide down the rod and it's impossible to fix them in place securely anyway.
Biggest waste of money!

Good concept, needs better execution
We installed a cat net with three poles on our balcony because we didn’t want to drill any holes. However, when it gets colder, the pole contracts and comes loose. Assembling it on your own is almost impossible—you really need one person to hold the pole and another to screw and keep it steady at the same time. There are definitely better alternatives on the market. On the positive side, the concept is good and the load distribution plates help protect the facade.

bad
Unfortunately, I can't recommend this product. Assembling the rods was extremely time-consuming – it took me about four hours, and even then they still don't hold properly. For the price, I would have expected a much simpler and, above all, more reliable system.
The additional brackets for the railing don't fit at all in my case, which makes the whole thing even more frustrating.
Overall, I'm very disappointed – I've never had such a bad experience with a product.

Update
At first, I was really impressed with the telescopic rods, but now, after a few months, not anymore. The rods come loose by themselves after 2-3 days and tip over. I tighten them again, but they keep coming loose. It's really annoying 😡, especially since they're not exactly cheap either. I CANNOT recommend these rods.
