Great set with a few adjustments

I bought this pole system to use with a large covered platform feeder. The main piece that goes into the ground was easy to install and very sturdy as it’s 20” long. When I started adding the pole pieces they were wobbly. I had to put one piece of electrical tape around each swaged end of pole and now they are nice and snug and the pole stands up straight, even with a heavy covered platform feeder on it. I found it a little too tall (80” and I’m only 63” tall) so I bought a shorter pole piece to replace the 3rd piece that came with the set. This baffle is the best I've seen. The solid metal collar with adjustable screws for easy assembly is genius. The system works, and looks, great! The birdies are very happy.

Thank you for taking the time to review! We are so glad to hear the pole system is working as intented. Yes, the poles are made to provide a little wiggle room as the manufacturer wanted people to be able to interchange with their older pole extentions that were a little different in size. The black electrical tape is a great solution for any bit of wobble, and one that the manufacturer recommends! Happy bird feeding!

Bird feeder pole set

The following is my comment about the pole set that I sent directly to Erva Tool. I did not get a reply from them.
"I purchased your 5-piece Feeder Pole Set with Twist-In Ground Socket online from Nature Niche in Michigan. When I opened the box, I was really impressed with the quality of the poles. The material is thick and substantial. The weld is continuous and clean. The finish appears to be long-lasting. And a plus is that it's made in the USA. But, when I began to install the pole, I found the swaged end was a bit smaller than the opening in the female end of the pole. When the three sections were assembled and stood up, they waved in the air like a wet noodle. The top moved at least +/- an inch. I tried shimming at the base to no avail. The pole waved around and made it impossible to get it to stand straight up. I puzzled over the problem for a while and decided the best solution would be to glue the sections together using a high-strength epoxy. I was able to get the assembly straight by laying it on the floor and clamping it to a flat upright surface. The next morning, I had a sturdy, straight one-piece pole. I was then able to insert it into the socket using a thin plastic shim for adjustment and got it perfectly straight up. I also reversed the position of the pole from your instructions so the swaged end would face upward so water could not enter at the seam. To ease this problem, I would suggest you make the swaged end at least a tap fit into the female end or, even better, make the connection threaded.
Your product is great, however it needs to be tweaked a bit to make it better. I look forward to a long life for my new bird feeder pole."

Thanks for sharing that feedback and for sending it to Erva directly. They may not have responded, but I suspect they will consider your suggestions. I imagine they avoid the screw together assembly, because that is very hard to keep consistent across batches and years of products and harder to disassemble over time. Also likely drives the cost of the product up. Here's what they have told us about why and how to resolve the sometimes loose slip fit issue:
The reason for the sometimes looser fit is that Erva tries to maintain a sizing sweet spot from production run to production run. They could achieve a perfect fit, if they ran just one batch. The trouble is there is variation in size for this tubing (to say nothing of batches in past years - still in the field), and the next batch from the vendor might be off a couple of thousandths of an inch. They choose to err on the side of a looser fit, because customers sometimes add sections years after the original purchase, and they want to be sure they will fit.
To fix the loose slip fit, cut a 1' piece of electrical tape and apply it to the swaged portion of the pole close to the end. If it's still loose, cut a second or larger piece of electrical tape and apply. This will definitely fix the problem.
Hope this explanation helps!

I wish it came with a squirrel baffle.

This pole set is also available in a bundle with a baffle (https://nature-niche.com/products/5-piece-feeder-pole-set-flange-top-and-baffle?_pos=5&_sid=5fd4f88a0&_ss=r), but you can purchase a separate baffle here: https://nature-niche.com/products/dome-top-squirrel-baffle-and-squirrel-guard?variant=34814753865883

This is exactly what I needed, it's machined well, sturdy and easily screwed into the ground despite many roots and rocks. I recommend this product.
