Pole Hive Podiums: Freestanding Poles
Here you will find all the models of the freestanding poles designed and created by THEPOLE: choose the one most suited to your needs.
All podiums are available with S (standard) or L (Large) legs.

Pole Hive Podiums with custom-cut poles, available in different diameters and coatings, all interchangeable
Pole Hive Podiums can be configured with poles in different diameters and coatings, allowing you to choose the combination that best suits your style of use, technical level and grip requirements.
The poles are interchangeable: with the same Podium base, it is possible to use poles with different diameters and finishes, adapting the configuration over time according to the evolution of your training or performance needs.
Inox Pole
Medium/low grip.
Available in 45 mm diameter.
Made of stainless steel, it is the finish used in competitions and is recommended for those looking for fluidity, technical control and dynamic performance, especially for fast moves and drops. THEPOLE Inox poles are made from 100% stainless steel and finished with a mirror polish. This choice ensures greater durability, improved safety in contact with the skin and more reliable quality compared with chrome poles. In fact, THEPOLE Inox poles do not wear out with use and, even if scratched, there is no risk of the surface flaking and/or becoming sharp.
GeckoGrip™ Pole
Medium grip.
Available in 40 mm and 45 mm diameters.
This technical coating was developed by THEPOLE and is the most popular choice thanks to its versatile grip, making it ideal for all levels, including those approaching pole dance for the first time. It reduces gripping effort on the hands, adductors and thumb, helping to support longer training sessions and reduce fatigue. It is designed to provide a balanced, comfortable and versatile grip. It does not wear out with use and, even if scratched, it does not flake or become dangerous. Compared with other coatings available on the market, it is Nickel-Free, hypoallergenic, skin-safe, does not release colour and does not fade.
SuperGrip™ Pole
High grip.
Available in 48 mm diameter.
It is the highest-grip rubber-coated finish, designed to provide maximum adhesion. It is particularly suitable for performers, use with stage costumes or training while fully clothed, where a very stable grip is required even on fabrics. Unlike standard rubber-coated poles, which use simple external sleeves that can slip or come loose, SuperGrip™ is created through a special production process that integrates the coating directly with the pole, forming a single structural element. This technology provides superior durability, reliability and stability over time, together with excellent resistance to ageing, ozone and temperatures up to 150 °C.
All poles have a maximum length of 300 cm and consist of 2 x 150 cm tubes.
If the Podium is used indoors, a minimum ceiling height of 330 cm is required. For lower ceilings, the upper tube is custom-made so that the pole does not touch the ceiling during use. It is therefore important to enter the exact ceiling height in the dedicated field when placing the order. If the Podium needs to be used at a different height in the future, simply purchase a replacement upper tube in the required length while keeping the same base.
Pole Hive Podiums: all equipped with the QuickSpin™ system
Pole Hive Podiums are chosen by pole dancers all over the world also because they are the only ones in the world equipped with the original QuickSpin™, which allows you to switch from static mode to spin mode with a simple movement, in just one click, without using keys or any other tools, even during the same choreography.
It is also possible to lock the QuickSpin™ in either spin or static mode.
QuickSpin System
Pole Hive Podiums with wooden base
THEPOLE has chosen to make the base of the Pole Hive Podium from wood in order to provide a more natural, comfortable surface that is better suited to movement. Wood offers a balanced level of grip: it is not excessively slippery, but it does not create too much friction either, allowing floorwork, transitions and fluid movements to be performed with greater control.
Compared with metal and other materials, wood is more pleasant in contact with the skin and does not feel cold when used barefoot or during movements involving direct contact with the base. This choice is designed to make the experience on the podium more harmonious, stable and natural, just like in dance studios and professional rehearsal spaces, where surface quality is essential.
THEPOLE uses selected woods such as Okumè and Birch, to be chosen according to your requirements in terms of use, transport and aesthetics.
Okumè
Okumè is a lightweight wood, ideal for those looking for a podium that is easier to move, assemble and disassemble. It is available in its natural wood-effect finish, which enhances the authentic appearance of the material and gives the podium a warm, elegant and natural look.
Birch
Birch is a more solid and heavier wood, weighing approximately 6 kg more than Okumè. It is the preferred choice for performers and for those with specific aesthetic requirements, as it is available in different colours and can easily be adapted to the style of the environment, personal preferences or specific stage requirements.
Both options are designed to provide comfort, control and quality of movement, while keeping the Pole Hive Podium versatile and suitable for both home and professional use.

Pole Hive Podiums with Standard (S) or Large (L) legs
Thanks to its weight of approximately 44 kg including the pole, the Pole Hive Podium with S legs is the lightest to transport and is easy to assemble and disassemble. If necessary, it can be further stabilised for acrobatic use, flag man workshops or partner choreographies thanks to stabilizing ballasts or the latest support weight disks, without losing its key advantages of light weight and fast assembly. The S legs do not extend beyond the Podium base and remain completely hidden beneath the wooden top, making them the ideal choice for home installation where space is limited.
The Podium with L legs, with a total weight starting from approximately 50 kg including the pole, is the ideal choice for those who travel and want maximum stability without carrying excessive weight. The legs extend beyond the Podium base and are not telescopic, which increases stability.
The L legs extend beyond the Podium base, while the S legs remain within it; both are fixed and do not have telescopic mechanisms.
Choose your Podium with S or L legs. If your needs change in the future, you can purchase the alternative leg kit, as the two versions are interchangeable. The legs are available among the accessories.
Podium material | Leg model | Dimensions | Approx. total weight |
|---|---|---|---|
Okumè | S | 165 cm × 145 cm | approx. 44 kg |
Okumè | L | 252 cm × 220 cm | approx. 50 kg |
Birch | S | 165 cm × 145 cm | approx. 50 kg |
Birch | L | 252 cm × 220 cm | approx. 56 kg |

Pole Hive Evo Podium with Inox pole
The stainless steel freestanding pole has a grip somewhere in between the traditional chrome-plated dance poles and those with the GeckoGrip™ lacquering. They are perfect for the performers preparing to shows and all those who frequently use the drop technique during their performances. This mirror-polished free stranding pole is beautiful to look at and safe to use. Since it is made entirely of certified stainless steel, there is no risk that the coating peels off becoming sharp and dangerous. Please be informed that unlike the GeckoGrip™ poles, the stainless steel freestanding pole, along with the chrome-plated dance poles, contains nickel. Therefore, we suggest you to check personal allergies before use. The base is available in okumè or birch, to be chosen according to the aesthetic preference.
