There is nothing detrimental at all even with the metal poles just a

A very popular method out here in CA is to
1) cut a piece of 3/8-in rebar to a length of 4-5 ft, stick about 18-in
of it in the ground
2) drill a 1/4-in hole in one end of a piece of 3/4-in PVC conduit (or
PVC plumbing pipe) to a length that you want to hold the Beverage off
the ground
3) place the pipe over the rebar
4) use a cable tie through the hole in the pipe to secure the Beverage wire
Retire to the shack and have a beverage.
