The Woodlink 16″ Clear Plastic Baffle prevents squirrels and small raccoons from raiding your bird feeders and scaring away birds. Makes a great weather shield and is perfect for yard hangers and poles and will never block your view of feeding birds while it protects. When the baffle is pole mounted, it creates a rounded “wall” that blocks squirrels, raccoons or chipmunks from climbing up to the feeder. When hung above creates a weather shield to protect your seed as well as discourage squirrels from climbing down to the feeder. Durable heavy-duty plastic construction with steel hanger withstands the elements. Hang above any hanging feeder or install on any ½” to 1 3/8″ diameter pole, for best results, pole mount at approximately 5′ high, below the feeder or bird house. Suspend bird feeder from included dual hook hanger or remove the hook and use 3 thumb screws to attach to pole and rest baffle on top.

Really Baffles Squirrels! This really works when used mid-post as a squirrel baffle. The baffle can move and tilt on the post mount, so a squirrel that jumps onto it is unceremoniously dumped on the ground. They can’t get a grip on the smooth surface, so off they go!
Works well but fragile This plastic baffle works well to keep squirrels out but it is more effective if you put it below the feeder as opposed to above. The downside I see is the collar that screws onto the pole seems to be a bit fragile and cracks easily. The birds will initially be leery of the plastic shiny baffle but they quickly get use to it.
Poorly Designed Repaired Product Shipped as “New” This is a poorly designed, repaired product that was passed off as new. My “new” dome arrived with a 1 and 3/4 inch crack at the top opening that had been crudely and partially repaired with glue. Clearly a weak point that will fail rapidly in use. You do not want to deal with people that pass off repaired junk as new. The handing mount is also a poor design that will not lock the dome in place. Run and take your money elsewhere.
