 14 months - no squirrels, but now rusting... May 04, 2009
By Kim
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.
Update:
2 years after purchase we did have to scrape entire pole down and spray paint the entire thing. Pole itself still functions well and no squirrels are getting to my cheap feeders - but I do hate scraping and spray painting.

 It Works But Read The Instructions! Apr 09, 2007
By W. Whittaker
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. Its very amusing.

Sturdy and well made! LOVE IT! Apr 23, 2009
By Birdwatcher

This is a wonderful product. It is really sturdy and goes deep into the ground so it stays steady. My only problem is that being 5'4" I can't reach the highest arm to hang stuff on- but my husband attached a couple of hooks and now I can reach all the bird feeders to refill them. I wish I had bought this product a year ago instead of wasting money on cheap shepherd hooks ($20 each) and baffels ($25 each) that are flimsy and short. The squirrels could still get to my feeders despite having a large baffel because the shepherd hooks were not very tall. The Squirrel Stopper is a wonderful setup and well worth the cost.

Love this pole! Jun 30, 2010
By Cheri
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 into the ground with augur, plus it had rained the night before so it softened up the ground. It is a very tall pole witch is great. For the reviewer that said she was only 5'4" and couldn't reach the hooks. I am less than 5'4" and my husband put some small chains from the hooks and I can reach everything. We just put the pole up yesterday and the birds came immediately. So nice to replace my shepherd hooks! The squirrels and chipmunks were draining my feeders daily. Now they can all feed on the ground! We also have an occasional raccoon and opossum. So far I really love this pole and think the investment will be worthwhile so I can save on filling the feeder so often now that critters can't get into the feeders.

Very sturdy and well built Feb 12, 2010
By Lynn Braswell
If you're tired of the flimsy poles that lean over due to a medium weight feeder, you'll like this one. Here are the pros and cons as I see it.
Pros:
1. Well build from heavier steel than normal (2 inch pipe).
2. Works for Squirrels as advertised.
3. Plenty of spaces to hang various feeders (8 hooks provided).
4. Screws into ground from 18 to 24 inches.
5. Has not been defeated by coons.
Cons:
1. Can see where rust may be a problem.
2. A little expensive.
3. Assembly instructions are poorly worded and illustrated.
3. Certainly not deer proof (but not advertised as that).
We're enjoying it even in the dead of Winter in Central TX.
Overall we are very pleased.
