What pole do you recommend for this house?

I already had a 3 section telescoping pole from an old martin house. I used to have a small flock (6-7 birds) each year until one year a Starling got in and actually killed a male martin right inside his "apartment". After that I think the "young" ones took off and his female stayed around for a few days calling. Eventually she left too. I haven't been able to get martins for 2 yrs now. That is why I invested in THIS box hoping the "door" shape will not allow starlings in. The box went up again this year mid April but no martins yet.

I have a telescoping pole also it does make for easier cleaning however, I NEVER extend to it's full length which I think is up to 15' in air. I have mine around 8' and martins have no problem with it. If you don't buy a telescoping pole make sure you have a ladder that will reach bird house so nest can be cleaned.

I bought the birds choice telescoping pole. It was expensive, but it is well made and works well.

We bought the pole that was suggested along with this item -(Heath Outdoor Products 15 Foot Telescoping Galvanized Steel Purple Martin House Pole). It works great!

I rent too. It's a really good quality pole, as long as you place it where your ceiling beam is there shouldn't be a problem. Mine hasn't caused any damage and I've taken it off a few times.

I bought the Stanley 21816 Telescopic 16 foot pole here on Amazon and it's been handling everything I've done. Use it with my vacuum as well.

Denise, Just don't install the pole. The ceiling base has screws to attach to the fan housing. Hope this helps.

Ray: Just go to Home Depot and purchase a 15' length of 1 1/4 " diameter aluminum pole. Any pole will do however. This antenna works best in the attic. Just mount the pole on the crossbeam somewhere and then aim it in the appropriate direction. In my case I bought a $10.00 pre-amp to give the signal a boost but I probably would not need it. It sounds like it will be outside. That's ok. Just a utility pole of some kind will work. I assume you will anchor it with a cement foundation, which is why mounting it inside(in the attic)works better. It is a Great Antenna and delivers HD pictures. You save money too. You won't need Cable or Satellite Dish anymore.

There are a couple of different lengths so you can use 1 pole or 2. I think they are 12 or 18 inches

I had a support pole from another cover which I did not like so I used PVC pipe and built my own. It was easy and turned out to be very stable, stayed in place and supports the cover. If you would like more information about the design I would be happy to share information with you.

Hi, to be honest, my husband did help me with setting it up. This is what he has to say..."It's probably all steel. The manufacturer calls it a 'heavy duty' pole -- I think it could have been made more substantial but is probably adequate and reasonable considering all you get for the price." It is still standing up all this time and held up to inclement weather etc. It was heavy but not something I couldn't lift up by myself (I'm petite). It's not easy bendable if that's what you meant. Hope this helps somehow. I do like it a lot but would have even more if there was an extension piece available for it. Hi, to be honest, my husband did help me with setting it up.

I purchased a pole that would fit inside the pole top. I used a screw to keep the pole top with attached birdhouse from moving in the wind. Measure your existing pole for outside diameter (not inside) and check the pole top dimensions

No, a bat house would not work on this pole. Needs a stronger, preferably wooden pole.

My suggestion is that you seek another product. This pretty much requires to pole.

I purchased this same item at BJs Wholesale store in West Hartford CT for $99.99 + Tax. It had all hardware including the pole. Good luck.

Check out Home Depot. My husband and son bought a very nice telescoping spring-loaded rod there and it's very attractive.

It's pretty strong, I would think it will do the trick. Just make sure it is attached to the pole securely.

Double check the diameter of the pole you are looking for with a tape measure, you will find different thiknesses for the poles specially if they have to fit perfectly, if not you can chose the most look like. length should not be a problem, anyway you can cut them to right size you need,

You can or a screw may be better than a nail. Question is why would you by such a great brush and not invest in a proper pole?
