Kap, the cheapies will last about 3 years. They will rust out.
A 'simple' solution is to pound some pipes into the ground... simple EMT conduit will do- buy a ten foot section of the thin stuff that fits the arbor legs, cut it into four 2 1/2 foot sections. Pound the sections into the ground. (almost flush with the ground). Spray rustoleum into the pipes as a mild rust preventative. Put the el cheapo arbor legs into the pipes. Run a sheet metal screw through the side of the EMT pipes through the arbor pipes. Spray rustoleum on the assembly.
Done.
