Maypole belongs to the Furniture category and costs Wood ×10, Dandelion ×4, Thistle ×4.

How to build Maypole
What do you need to build Maypole in Valheim?
Wood ×10, Dandelion ×4, Thistle ×4. Materials have to be inside the build radius of the station, not just in your inventory, which is the usual reason a piece stays greyed out with everything apparently to hand.
What station does Maypole need?
A Workbench, and you have to be standing inside its build radius. Moving the station or adding another one is what extends where you can build, not upgrading it.
How much comfort does Maypole give?
1. Comfort does not stack within a group, so a second one of these adds nothing — the comfort page ranks what actually combines.
How much health does Maypole have?
50. That is structural health, separate from any durability an item has — it is what a raid, a fire or your own hammer has to chew through.
Does Maypole decay or need a roof?
It is worn down by rain, fire, ash rain, snow. A piece under a roof and connected to the ground through supporting pieces keeps its full health; one left exposed loses health until it breaks.
Where is Maypole in the build menu?
Under Furniture, on Workbench. Build pieces are unlocked by picking up their materials rather than by finding a plan, so if it is missing from your hammer the answer is always a resource you have not carried home yet.
