Heritage Farms Universal Pole Mounting System Model 75860,Gray

Loved you don’t need to use all the rods - can adjust the height. Easy to place in ground and move. Unobtrusive- mostly see what is mounted on the pole. I have five. For more stability I inserted wood dowels so they don’t sway as much in the wind. Would recommend highly.

I was skeptical that this slender pole would hold up, but it's lasted years. Best of all, it seems to be extremely difficult for squirrels and raccoons to climb!

I purchased four of these pole sets for my bluebird houses. It was quite easy to screw the plastic flanges to the bottom of the houses. I used my own screws that were shorter so that they did not go all the way through to the bottom of the birdhouse and stick out, as they would definitely injure a bird. First thing, I was shocked when I realized that there was no ground stake in the box. I was worried that using a rubber mallet to bash one of the sections into the ground would not work, but I was pleasantly surprised. I whacked in till about half of the first pole section was extremely tight into the ground. Unfortunately, as you add the pole sections, it wobbles and looks crooked. But I've read quite a few other reviews where they had a quick fix for this using tape, so I plan to go back out tomorrow and tape the sections so they stay straight. Some of the one and two-star reviews are ridiculous. This is overall a good quality item, but it definitely needs some reengineering so that the sections fit snuggly. That is all....

We didn't have blue birds in our boxes until we used these poles. We had blue birds in the first box mounted on the post so now we've added a second one. They're kind of expensive. We live in a very wooded area and are subject to violent storms and hurricanes. The posts may not stand up to the excessive wind and rain here.

Difficult if not impossible to get straight with 12 pounds of seed in a wood link feeder. I will replace with a black pipe pole next season.

I would not trust it to hold up a deck of cards let alone a bird feeder. i put it together in disbelief that they would even sell something of this quality. If you can’t suspend the bird feeder from a tree or something for some reason and have to mount it on a pole go to Home Depot or Menards and purchasing a couple of pieces of 3/4” galvanized or black iron pipe and make your own for a similar amount of money, bur for 5x’s the strength and stability. The 4 or 5 light weight sheet metal poles that you stick one end into the other to reste a 5’ pole are just cheap light weigh5 metal. even after i had pushed the bottom pole 16-18” into the ground i was still wary of putting the bird feeder on it. another alternative would be to purchase a garden stake/pole that they sell to suspend hanging baskets of flowers from . Do not waste your time and money buying this as i am sure your reaction will be similar and now i have to go through the added hassle of returning it. Please note that this is probably the first time that i have ever written a review like this. Normally i just shut my mouth and say lesson learned, but in this case i was infuriated that a company that sells such nice bird houses would sell such cheap flimsy junk to hold them up. My first tip off should have been when Home Depot didn’t carry it next to the same company’s other merchandise. i am sure they got tired of hearing customers say, “WHAT!! “

Bought this to put our bird feeder on.

Already had one of these bought a second to use to put feeder and squirrel cove higher as the critters were jumping over the cone to get to the feeders. Added one pipe length, problem solved for now. Though may have more problems next winter and my gray squirrels are approaching the size of a cat,
