It still comes with the built-in auger to help you screw it into the ground, and assembly is equally as comfortable. The bird feeder pole itself, however, is thinner than the above model (1.25 inches compared to 2 inches in diameter), so you’ll want to use this pole for lighter feeders. The improvement on this design is that they’ve included a rust-preventative, so you won’t need to coat the pole yourself. With another product from Squirrel Stopped, the Shenandoah does what it says with the same movable, spring-loaded baffle system but with a different look on top. Squirrel Stopper Shenandoah Bird Feeder Pole with 3 Hanging Stations The Squirrel Stopper is indeed a squirrel proof bird feeder pole that you’ll be able to enjoy for many years with the proper care. Depending on how many feeders you use, you could recoup your investment on the pole in less than one season. Squirrels eat a lot of seed, and waste even more hijacking birdfeeders and scattering seed on the ground. The payoff, however, is the amount you’ll save on bird food. The Squirrel Stopper bird feeder pole is an expensive piece of equipment. You could also sink the pole in a concrete footer for extra stability. Balance each side of the arms with an approximately equal distribution of pressure to keep the pole from leaning to one side. Keep in mind, though that you’ll need to pay attention to weight if you’re merely twisting the pole into the ground. You could also hang flower baskets or wind chimes from the arms for a complete ensemble. Hang bird feeders filled with different mixes or suet to attract a variety of birds to your pole. You can hang 4-6 bird feeders at varying heights on the four arms of the bird feeder. And speaking of the top, the steel cutout bird and leaf at the apex of the pole make it an especially appealing piece of décor. It will also stand tall at about 8 feet from the ground to the top. The black finish and shapely design help this bird feeder pole stand out as an attractive addition to any patio or yard space. As long as you coat it, and reapply the rust preventative as needed, the Squirrel Stopper will be a long-standing ornament for your yard.

The black steel itself is very thick (16 gauge) and durable. Once set, you will want to coat it with your own rust preventative, such as a Rust-Oleum clear coat spray.

The spring-loaded, rotating baffle in the middle of the pole prevents squirrels from getting a grip and scaling the pole. The Squirrel Stopper squirrel proof bird feeder pole and baffle is an eminently useful product with a high capacity for feeders.
