Can someone tell me how to put this on the pole?

My feeder is hanging from a shepherds hook that I put into a small PVC pipe that is just a bit smaller than the ring that came with the unit. I put the ring just about even with the bottom of where the feeder will hang, and screwed it tight. Then I slid the Torpedo down to rest on top of the attachment ring, and then put the shepherds hook into the PVC pipe. No squirrels or racoons have been able to get past this baffle. If you don't have the mounting ring that's suppose to be used, you can just get any metal screw clamp, and that will work just fine. The unit is suppose to swing free while resting on top of the clamp.

Gotta slide the baffle up, then attach the clamp. If you do it the other way - the baffle won't clear the clamp. No squirrels for me - worked remarkably well!

Well, it sure did'nt work on a crook-neck pole. I used the stop-clamp and put the baffle in the shed. It needs to be slid down a comparatively sized round pole. Put the stop clamp where you want the baffle to be. Then put the feeder on the top.

Instructions included with the baffle were pretty clear - but if you do not have them, There is a clamp included with the baffle - attach the clamp to the pole (it has screws to tighten) and slide the baffle down onto the clamp from the open top of the pole. Then attach your feeder to the top of the pole.

The squirrel baffle comes with a ring that fits around the pole, and you fasten the ring to the pole at the height you want by tightening the ring to the pole. Set the baffle on top and the baffle works wonderfully in preventing squirrels from climbing the pole.

it won't work on a pole system that will not allow sliding the unit onto the pole from the top or bottom, such as most shepard's hooks, for example. Works fine on my favorite pole system, the "Woodlink Slot and Pin Pole System".

Both answers are correct. The secret is the clamp on first -about where you want the top of the baffle to be.

It took me about twenty minutes to assemble and the squrrel made it up and into the feeder in a shorter time.Thus, squirrels are smarter than we think.

With the tarp staked, put the pole in the tie out loop and then use two guy lines to stake the pole. These poles are really good, strong, but they are pretty tall even at the lowest setting. To get set up ideas, check out youtube.

The pole is craddled by a plastic U-shaped piece. The U piece is a little narrower at the top so the closet rod will click into place. There is no means to screw the closet rod or otherwise permanently attach it.

Answer below is correct. I've found every tool I've purchased attaches the same way to the pole. Use one and you know how they all work.

What need to be done is pretty simple, but I find it technically hard to put the second pole in place (too tight)

the pole will sort of "click" in before you can start tightening it. good luck

I got a 1 1/2" galvanized pole about 8' long and a pack of 2 one hole straps (that's what they are called). They look like question marks, the top goes around the pole and the bottom flat part where the screw hole is gets screwed into the back of the house. Tighten the screws and this will hold the house in place. Dig a hole and put the pole in the ground add a little concrete and your done. If you don't understand my unclear directions just go to a hardware store and explain what you want to do and they should be able to help you. Good luck.

the one I bought has two grommets and no way to slip it over a pole unless you removed the grommets and rip the bottom stitches. But then you would have trouble "attaching" it so that it wouldn't slide.

What I did is put a board on top of the poles & screwed hooks into the board; attach lights to board for even weight; also usedyoyos for lights.... Hope that helps & yes it'll hold it; I have 2-1000's hanging in it. Happy growing!

It is a little tricky. It is most easily performed with the pole completely collapsed. I screw the base on from the bottom, holding the pole above with the other hand. Getting the threads to match up may take several attempts. I can usually get it on no problem, although there have been a few occasions where i timed out on my frustration limit and had to come back to it O.o My girlfriend has much difficulty attaching it. As for mine, there is no error in manufacture, rather, just a tricky connection. Assuming your threads have been properly machined, you should be able to get it with some practice. Good luck, Dalton

The feeder should be screwed onto the pole mount.Make sure the screws are tight.You have to really smash the poles together, hard.I had my 14 year old son do it.You may borrow him if you want!

I used an old teacher ball pole. You know the ones in a tire with cement. Worked great.

if the pole itself isn't damaged you could try stripping the rope off and apply new rope over it!I see it's stapled at the top and bottom but I've no clue if it's also glues onOR you could go out and buy some round fence poling cut it to size cover it with rope and drill in the holes for the screws to go into it!.......ya I've altered it some and will some more.

One more thing, Elisa, I don't put mine on a pole. I hang it on a thick tree branch with some good strong cord or electrical wire.

Mine sits on the corner of a deck rail. I think it is too big for a pole unless there is a platform. The tendrils from grape vines have crept through the house. Very sweet.

This item comes with instructions on how to connect. Connections depend on using it single pole or 3 way. I suggest that you find and follow those instructions. Hope this helps.

Hey Nick, If I remember correctly, you extend the pole about an 1" wider then the space you are trying to enclose. You twist the pole to lock the length. After it is twisted and locked in length, you place one end at the location you want the rod. (Don't forget to put your curtain on first!) You then pull the other end toward the end in place making the rod shorter. Slide the lose end of the rod down into place. Once your release the rod the tension created by the addition 1" adds directional force keeping the rod in place. Hope this makes sense to you! Lisa
