Can anyone compare the quality of this pole system to the pole and baffle sold by Wild Birds Unlimited?

there's no comparison whatsoever the squirrels cannot get new nowhere near the squirrel stop for they have to rely and survive on whatever the bird drop cuz they can't get no where near

It's true. There is no comparison. The squirrel stopper works perfectly. The most important thing is that you distance it at least 6 feet away from any trees or bushes that the squirrels can jump from, otherwise they cannot go up the pole at all. Plus, you can add several types of feeders and nice hanging plants and a hanging bird bath as well. Therefore making it quite lovely and decorative. I liked it so much that I have one in my front yard and last fall I bought this second one for my back yard. Excellent product when placed correctly!

I actually have both systems and I have to say that I am happier with the Squirrel Stopper system. I do like that the WBU system can be made shorter or taller with the pole sections they sell; however, it doesn't hold up to the wind/squirrels or hold as many feeders as the Squirrel Stopper. I hope this is helpful.

Indeed it will. In fact it comes with multiple sleeves for use on the different sized poles. So far, it's the only baffle I've found that actually works to keep the tree rats from emptying my feeders.

Once you purchase and install a baffle, you will see it is "free flooding" on the pole. In my opinion, squirrels will continue trying to "beat the system" on a smaller 14". An 18" keeps them from trying to beat the baffle. Squirrels are wily little creatures and still go up the pole just to look and see if there is a way around. It is funny to watch and we love this baffle!

I would go back to Amazon or company who made the birdbath. My instructions were burnt up in an apt fire. Mine currently sits on top of 5 Gal bucket of course Im on 1st floor now. Not sure what will happen when I go back to old apt as the bracket for mounting is LONG gone.

Unfortunately when I received this "Hertage Farm birdfeeder" I found it was not from Heritage Farm but made in China. So I sent it back. I called Amazon and told them that it was false advertising to say it was "made in the USA" and made by Heritage Farm when it indeed wasn't. So they assured me they had the correct feeders and it must've been a problem in the warehouse. So they sent me another feeder which again was the one from China and again I send it back. As far as your broken hanger, if it is the real Heritage Farm feeder you can call them directly. They have a website. But if it's one from China I don't think you can do anything. Maybe Amazon will take the whole thing back.

The diameter of the pole is 1 inch according to my measurement. I don't know about anything about squirrel baffles, so I can't answer that part, sorry.

I put the biggest feeder I've ever come across on it and it holds it with no sign of stress to the pole. Significantly, it also does not stress the railing either. I've to replace other railings due to stress caused by other poles. This one is superior in every respect.

I think your pole is too big. Mine is about one and 1/2 inches in diameter and the baffle just won't fit. The best thing I did was to hang a corncob nearby for the squirrels. They are as much fun to watch as the birds. Since I did this, they no longer even look at my bird feeders. Now my problem is the raccoons. I wish they were as easily distracted as the squirrels. Good luck - I hope you find a solution but I don't think this baffle will work for you.

If you can slip it over the top of your pole, then do it and tighten the fastener. If there is some impediment at the top of your pole so baffle won't slide onto pole, you'll have to take pole out of ground.

We have two of these excellent feeders and they can be hung by the supplied ring or put on a one inch outside diameter pole. It is designed so the pole enters through the bottom tray and then terminates in a socket at the top. This design makes it very sturdy and as long as your pole is solidly in the ground, wind proof. This is our preferred method of using this feeder. We think that these are the best feeders on the market and our have lasted many years. I highly recommend them. Oh, and most importantly, the birds love them.

Guys, for some reason Amazon is deleting my posts. But Tentpole tech DOES support the tent. They said they can make me a new pole for my bay window for 11.99 plus shipping of about 8 bucks. I will try to post their exact response. NOT SURE WHY AMAZON IS DELETING IT! If you contact TentPole ask for Tom Hegerle.

I don't really know that a "lifetime portable pole" looks like, but the 8406S is exactly the bracket I used to mount my 79351 to a permanently cemented in the ground approx. 3 inch diameter round steel pole. However, when I bought mine a little less than 13 months ago it was only $19.99 so perhaps you should check around some for a better price. Ultimately the installation went well and my backboard remains perfectly aligned but I will confess that when I initially looked at the bracket I could see no way that it would work and even began the process of returning the bracket. But I found that I was looking at it all wrong and it IS the correct bracket, at least for my pole. Good luck!

The #1015 is the classic feeder with squirrel cage. I have the larger one with the cardinal perch which is very $$ but worth it as it attracts all birds and the warranty with Brome is Lifetime. Great customer support from Brome. I bought the finch feeder and had to throw out all the $ seed which got moldy waiting for finches and sparrows t this summer. Will try this fall with finch feeder but the HOLES are tiny tiny (finch seed is tiny) and cut into a clear plastic tube..even the sparrows couldn't figure it out or can't see the holes and flew to the other feeders.

You can screw the flange shown to the bottom of the bird house. The flange then fits tightly onto the pole. That is how I mounted my bird house. I only used 3 of the 4 pole sections because I drilled a hole in an old stump rather than put a hole in the ground. The pole is a nice heavy weight I am pleased with it and would definitely buy it again.

I'm not sure if they are the exact same but I would go with a different feeder. Mine stopped working after two months.

Not much help for you. I bought the one that's two plastic trays hung by wire to each other. The birds didn't like dodging wire when landing and I didn't like wearing meal worms if it tilted. I'm going to try open bowls next.

The hole looks to be a about 1". If you are going to use the DY tray (attached to feeder) on a pole, you need to purchase a pole adaptor part (not expensive). The top part of the pole adaptor screws into the base of the feeder (through the hole in the tray) and the bottom part (or tail) of the pole adaptor is tapered to fit inside a 1" pole. This set-up works very good. Good Birding!
