W4 Pole Hanging Hooks - Silver, 3 Pack

Product Information

I don’t consider aesthetics to be a critical factor when choosing a bird pole but I thought the Feed Garden was sharp! I liked the twisted finial at the top – it added a lovely design element. Those with ground augers and a twisting rod make the task of twisting the base pole into the ground easier. Just how deep? To give you an idea – the Squirrel Stopper Sequoia (the best bird feeder pole) goes 20″ deep into the ground. Fork-style base. This one has 4 forks. Simply mount the ends on the wall or in the ceiling and add the curtain hooks and textiles. The length of the wire is adjustable, so you can always get the measurements just right. On top of that, it goes around corners as well. That way, you can place it above corner windows or a door entrance. Or why not let it expand from a window and along your entire wall?

Using curtain wires is a simpler solution than putting up a rod. It’s a less visible, more discreet option. It’s perfect if you want something subtle that emphasizes your glorious drapery. Also, pay attention to the soldering joints for the shepherd’s hooks and make sure they look clean. Messy soldering can be an indication of carelessness and lower quality. No one wants their bird feeder dropping to the ground from a bad solder joint. Stability And, the Squirrel Stopper Sequoia is surprisingly easy to install. When I first pulled the huge auger out of the box and observed the line on the center pole indicating the depth it needed to go into the ground (20″) – I was worried. How am I going to get that thing in the ground? Plastic hooks are recommended for windows facing north. It is best not to use plastic curtain hooks in a sunny position as they may become brittle after long periods of exposure to UV light. These hooks are generally suitable for light or medium weight curtains including voiles and linen. 2. Metal Curtain Hooks An iron twisting rod is not included. Instructions advise using a screwdriver which can be a bit more challenging to install. The iron twisting rod is really the way to go (refer to the Squirrel Stopper Sequoia review above).

Winding wires

Not everyone can afford or wants to invest in the best. This is especially true when starting out with bird feeding. That’s where the Feed Garden Deluxe comes in. Instructions are provided but let’s be honest, bird feeder poles are not complicated and the general concept doesn’t vary much from one brand to another. Net curtain wires are made from slim plastic-coated steel spring wire. Suitable for use with lightweight voile or net curtains, they include accessories for fixing.

The most impressive part of the Feed Garden Deluxe is the top 2 hook ends are 10″ from the center pole which allows you to hang larger, bulkier bird feeders and more space for birds to congregate. There are plenty of options out in the market for bird feeder pole systems. When you’re in the market for one it can be challenging to know which is best. I saved you the hassle and set up 9 different systems in my yard to determine whether or not they’re worthy of investment. I highly recommend 3 of the 9 systems. Similar to the Sequoia model, the Deluxe’s center pole is made from solid steel construction. While the Sequoia’s center poles are an impressive 1.5″ in diameter, the Deluxe is 2″ ! This is the largest diameter in the industry. Without installing the Kettle Moraine fully into the ground I couldn’t recommend it for stability purposes. The Deluxe is advertised with 8 hooks for hanging feeders and other garden decor (e.g. wind chimes, etc). Because wild birds need more space when feeding (as I discuss in the Guide to Buying a Bird Feeder Pole) I would only use the outer 4 hooks for the bird feeders.Storage & organisation Furniture Textiles Kitchenware & tableware Kitchens Lighting Decoration Rugs, mats & flooring Beds & mattresses Baby & children Smart home Bathroom products Laundry & cleaning Plants & plant pots Home electronics Home improvement Outdoor living Food & beverages Christmas Shop Shop by room Use the correct masonry drill bit size. This is important as you need a tight fit between the wall and plug. The drill hole should be the same diameter as the wall plug to ensure that your pole is firmly secured.

Suitable for lightweight voile or net curtains, net rods are made from metal and are extendable. They can be fitted using the included screw fixings, or you can buy self-adhesive fixings separately. Stability with fork staking is determined by the distance the fork is from the center pole (longer is better), how deep in the ground each fork goes, (deeper is better), and the number of forks (more is better). Look for a model that has at least 4 forks that go into the ground at least 8″ and are at least 4.5″ from the center pole. Center PoleThe lower/moveable hooks are only 7.5″ from the center pole and are likely only suitable for tube feeders. However, I liked the ability to arrange these 2 at the level and angle you desire for versatility.

Mix & Match curtain poles offer the widest selection of finial ends to suit your taste. All finials in the Mix & Match range are sold in pairs, and are available in 16/19mm and 25/28mm diameters. Bird feeder pole systems come with a laundry list of features but which ones are really important? Below are the 7 key elements you should consider when shopping for one: Wild Birds Unlimited Advanced Pole System The Wild Birds Unlimited Advanced Pole in my yard. (The feeder is not from Wild Birds Unlimited.) Curtain rods, or poles, are the classical solution used in many homes. They tend to be more visible than other solutions. Therefore, you have to think of them as part of the décor, rather than just a support mechanism for your favourite drapes. Add-on squirrel baffles are available to help keep squirrels at bay. However, they’re not usually as effective at stopping these giant rodents but usually offer relief for a period of time – until the squirrels in your yard have figured out the nuances of the baffle!The APS is powder-coated to prevent rusting but I was unable to identify the type of metal (iron vs. steel) it’s made of. As suggested by the name, these kits come with a single pole that can be cut down if needed using a saw. If you need a longer pole and there isn’t a size available, two poles can be joined together using a joiner (available separately).
