I couldn't find the part online, just in the garden store, and I'm sorry I didn't take any photograph then... The poles were intended as replacement parts for garden pergolas or tents that were sold in the store. They had aluminum tubes, approx. diameter 50mm, which were also available in stainless steel. They also had hollow square ones (more resistant to torsion or bending, for tensors lovers out there). The tubes had a small (10-15 cm) soldered square base. Available lenghts ranged from 200 to 350 cm. Price: 20 to 45 euros, depending on lenght and materials. The supplemental weighted bases were very common: made of plastic, can be filled with water, sand, or anything heavier (concrete?). They looked similar to these ones: http://www.imageupload.org/?d=B3322E621. I'll take some photograph as soon as I get back to the store...
