 Easy setup for Martin houses Feb 29, 2000
By Lloyd Perrault
I bought this pole and installed it for my Purple Martin house. Martin houses are heavy (even heavier with birds and nests in them) and probably require the strength of steel rather than wood or PVC. Installation requires digging a 12 " hole, 30" to 36" deep, a bag of cement and some gravel. Of course, this means you must have the tools necessary for digging and mixing the cement (Post hole digger, mixing pan, hoe, and a shovel) and the permission of the property owner.

 Decent Flag Pole Mar 18, 2006
By Radio Active
This flag pole is not as sturdy as the original pole that came with my bird house. I suggest raising this pole only up to about 12 feet or so. I say this because I initially raised the pole to about 15 feet and it was easily bent by winds of 25-35mph. Summary: If you plan on putting anything on top of this pole, do not try to get maximum height out of this one.

 Terrible Locking System!!!! Apr 16, 2008
By PsychDoc
The 'Easy Locking' system is probably the greatest misnomer on any product.Additionally like so many other consumers my pole had no markings indicating which end was which. You are expected to force and twist a curved bolt like piece of metal between the two poles in a small gap with little clearance.This requires two people at least and usually can only be done with the pole assembled and on the ground.This in turn makes it IMPOSSIBLE to actually telescope the pole without taking the whole system down to the ground.The pole seems sturdy enough but the locking system makes this less than useless for regular cleaning and maintaining a purple martin house.

Locking pin problem Apr 12, 2008
By Sidney M. Scott
"otisanybody"
I've purchased several MP15's for Purple Martin houses since 1996. The last one bought I could not get the pins to lock and hold. I had to drill holes in each pole and secure them in place with a nut & bolt. I'm glad this problem was discovered before nesting had began. Other than that, the poles are easy to telescope, and hold up very well in high winds.

 Nice pole Jun 25, 2007
By C. Miller
We recently went through a F1 Tornado, and the pole was still standing with bird house. I lost many sections of fences during this storm (snapped 4x4 posts), so this pole is heavy duty in my opinion. Pole is only mounted in clay to the depth of the ground sheath (not 3ft like many others), and not mounted in concrete. No bending of pole experienced like some other users. As far as I'm concerned, this pole is awesome.
