This system is made of 16 gauge steel, powder-coated with a durable black finish and stands about eight feet tall when assembled. The pole assembly is two inch diameter tubular steel. It features four arms to support 4 different bird feeders or other hanging objects such as bird baths or flower baskets.

Assembly is easy and the completed system is very functional but also has an attractive, somewhat Victorian look.

14 months – no squirrels, but now rusting… Ww love this pole and it allows us to use cheaper feeders without the risk of squirrels getting to them – but now, 14 months after install it is rusting in many many spots. The coating is peeling off in chunks. Need to scrap it down and spray paint I guess now. The function of the pole works great – just thought it would last longer without needing upkeep.
It Works But Read The Instructions! This does its duty of stopping squirrels. However be careful where you place it. In the instructions it says like place 10ft. away from fences and such. We didn’t and learned our lesson. First they would jump from the birdbath next to it and onto a feeder. So that was moved. THen they realized our fence was high and jumped from that onto a feeder. So read the directions. Don’t be like me and ignore it. I’ve watched squirrels attempt to climb up the pole and just slide down many times…
Love this pole! My husband put this pole together very quickly although he said the directions were not very well written. I then clear coated with a clear matte Rust-Oleum product because several other reviewers complained that that the pole rusted in spots. I live in a place that has harsh Winters so I felt it would be a good idea to give the pole extra protection. Also the manufacturer has made the bottom of the pole an augur style with a mark for depth to sink the pole. It is pretty easy to get it deep…
