The table at our rear deck seating is mounted with a straight pole. Since the deck is also slanted back the table is not level. Has anyone bent the pole or made a custom one so the table is level?
 
It would for the table, but we also use the lower pole position for the sun deck/lounger layout. Changing the top or bottom mount changes the angle and the table wouldn’t line up or be supported.

I’m thinking of having the pole bent in a roller, maybe twice to zig zag for placement and angle, but that would shorten the pole too, lowering the table.
 
I think it was meant to unbolt the table from the mount that's attached on its underside and shim it there. Leave the mount on the floor and the pole as is.
Yes, that is what I meant. Shim the aluminum mount attached to the table top not the floor mount.
 
Yes, but there is a smaller pole that supports the table in the lounger position. The angle would stil be off.

Bit in that line...a male/female extension that has an angle would work.

Maybe, but the shorter pole may be OK with a slight angle in the table mount. It may still fit. Its simple to try with a few washers under the table mount.
 
I think Bending the poles a great idea even though it might be slightly shorter shouldn’t be that big of a deal to put a Bend in it probably the simplest and cheapest you’re going to get,you could also look for a gimbal mount for the table not sure what kind of table you have whether it’s wood or fiberglass but you can make a wedge top to fit over your existing table and rig up a way to secure it , Just throwing out some ideas I love to MacGyver things all the time so I’m always thinking ..... it’s exhausting lol
 
Buy another pole and bend it to fit or have another pole made to fit your needs!
