I was able to install it myself by screwing it into the ground. The fitting was perfect for our feeders pole mount (1'). We have since ordered the special squirrel baffle that fits the pole. It should arrive tomorrow. Our Kiwibit feeder is heavy and sturdy as is the pole. The pole supports it with no problem. We did not use the third piece. Too high for me to reach.

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.

5 Piece Feeder Pole Set with Twist In Ground Socket

Outstanding quality!

Nice solid base for my new Bird Buddy camera feeder!

The poles are everything you could ask for, made of sturdy metal sections that fit together eactly as intended. All the metal parts have a baked-on coat; the chances of rust should be minimal. Worth every penny. As a bonus, all the packaging was recyclable paper and cardboard.

This pole is very sturdy in our windy area. I purchased the pole for a new camera bird feeder I received for Christmas. I would purchase this again. It arrived quick.

This is a necessary investment for any birder who lives in a windy climate. It’s incredibly secure once installed. It will hold up to 30mph+ wind gusts plus daily wind that we get here in Texas throughout the year. I won’t buy any other pole for my feeders/bird houses.

This one was much more robust than the previous one we bought, only down side was I had to drill (4) new holes to mount to the Bird Buddy, not a big deal for me , but maybe an issue for someone else.

Sturdy. Relatively easy to install. I recommend checking plumb often. After inserting screw driver as handle, insert pole sections to rest on screwdriver and hand tighten bolt. Put level against pole every few turns and adjust angle while turning. Any vertical lean will be increased by the weight of feeder.

easy to set up and it is steady in the breeze and holds the feeder with seed with no bending,,,,,, thanks

Wow! I’m impressed by the weight and design of this feeder pole set. It’s truly heavy-duty, thick steel and very thoughtfully designed to make installation as easy as possible. Suzanne G.

This is an excellent product. Highly recommend them to anyone needing great pole. Love that it is made in USA

Excellent pole. Solid. Easy to install.
Looks great.

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."

I wish it came with a squirrel baffle.

AAAAAAA+++++++

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.

Ordered this a while back, along with a new bluebird house and baffle to go with the pole set. This is the best I have ever seen! Very well constructed, easy to put together and a great price. Was impressed with the packaging and the fast shipping... I will definitely order from Nature-Niche again! Thank You Martha for your personal help putting this all together 😊And yes I have bluebirds!!!!

tried a number of different bird feeder and bird house poles. These are the best. They are stronger, and the depth they screw into the ground makes them very sturdy.

Wanted a strong pole to hold up 4 feeders at a time plus stand up to deer knocking into it and this pole seems strong enough to with stand both. Very well made! Now if the bear comes back I still got problems!

It makes for a very sturdy bird feeding station. Other reviews stated that it assembled kind of loose and sloppy. All I did was wrap one thickness of electrical tape around the male ends and assemble. It was nice and tight, I even had to tap it together with a rubber hammer. I would buy again.

Well made and fast delivery!

Solid: zero climbing up the pole from our furry friends & super easy to put in the ground!

a great item, works well with my birdfeeders. The service was fast.

squirel wins I love the pole but they get up easily
