Is the pole round or square and if round, what is the diameter of the pole? I want to put a squirrel baffle on it and the pole needs to be round.

I have not put it up yet..Can't get past all the snow BUT I did measure the pole and it is 1 to 1- 1/2" circum. and the pole and the top are all round. I hope this helps.

It is clear and it did not stop the squirrels. My husband had to put a wide pvc pipe above it to keep them off. I will have to ask my husband to measure it for you.

It is not exactly round. It measures 5" across in some areas and 5 1/2' in other areas. It is 3/4" high. Hope this helps.

I have a round feeder which is a cage that encloses a feeder that is also in a wire enclosure. This lets the small birds get into the cage to eat seed, but keeps the squirrels and large birds out. I believe it is also a perky pet feeder. I also have feeders that look just like the one pictured but they close up the feeding holes when a squirrel gets on them because of the weight of the squirrel and these work very well. Good luck!

Yes. It has a hook on top and a hook on bottom. Extremely simple to install with dual hooks. If your square feeder hangs straight down and does not extend over the dome, then it should work great. It could be any shape of feeder as long as it hangs down and is smaller in diameter than dome. It is not bulky and looks great. Good value. The Seller shipped in a timely manner and without damage. It looks exactly like the picture. I liked the dome because it was boutique and not overwhelming to take away from bird sightings. I also installed a tubular, cylindrical green baffle at the bottom of my feeder pole to discourage squirrels and chipmunks from eating bird feed. Everything works great. Hope this helps. Dennis

Hi, Gary. When the baffle is closed, the opening at the top measures 1.5 inches. The support (which clamps to the pole and holds the baffle up) is not big enough to fit securely on a 2" pole. You might check with the manufacturer to see if they offer a different sized baffle set up. I hope this helps.

I am not too sure about the diameter but the pole is hollow. I did not need any rebar and I have birds and squirrels all over it. I suggest that you put it in the ground after it rains or soften up the spot where you want to place it. My husband tried to bang it into the ground with a hammer but the metal rods couldn't take it and bent. We had to straighten it back out before we could put the top on.

This is not for a 4x4 post...either square or round........its for a metal pole or a wood pole like you would use in your closet. Either square or round will work as long as the pole is under about 2 "It really keeps the nest safe. ..from everything

I have a medal post onto which I hang bird feeders. I used the baffle on this post to prevent the squirrel from climbing UP the post.I don't think it would work on a wire as well as it needs to stops the animal from going up. There are baffles which look like large hard hats that I use on wires hanging from trees. These baffles keep the squirals from climbing DOWN the wires.LRG

We were fortunate not to be plagued with squirrels. Our lot had only trees we planted and none appealed to them so we only had an occasional passing visit. Positioning I think is not so important as having baffles to not allow climbing pole. If feeder is withi jumping distance of a tree or large shrub the feeder should be moved. Good luck.

I had this item mounted on a 35 degree Garage roof with shingle tiles. It came with parts to install on a pole as well. I cannot confirm this works on round poles. It's now been a few years and weathered a few nasty storms and still looks more or less like it did day one.

The diameter is 3/4 of an inch. The pole is hollow. If you have no visitors to your feeding station other than birds the pole does not require reinforcement. However, if you have squirrels and in particular raccoons you will probably need to reinforce the pole. I have used wood wedges and they have worked but...I have also resorted to taking in the feeders at night. I have LOTS of heavy-weight visitors to the feeding station.

You did not say what material the square rod is made of. If it is metal I am not sure it would work but if it was wood you could make it work by making the pole round only in the area to which the baffle would be fitted on the pole. Remember of course that the pole size must not be larger than prox 1 & 1/4th inch or smaller than prox 1/2 inch. Those dimensions must be adhered to simply because the baffle slides on to the pole with those dimensions involved in the small opening at the top of the unit.

take the bird-x owl prowler with u to a hardware store where they sell different types of wood - u need a round wooden pole

The pole is about 2" diameter. The moving baffle is about 5" at the widest. It does stop raccoons. Very solid construction.

Well, it sure did'nt work on a crook-neck pole. I used the stop-clamp and put the baffle in the shed. It needs to be slid down a comparatively sized round pole. Put the stop clamp where you want the baffle to be. Then put the feeder on the top.

The pole is only about 2" in diameter. The baffle is wider at the top, maybe 5-6 inches in diameter, and tapers down to about 3". I definitely think it would stop raccoons since the squirrels can't jump high enough to get over the baffle. I doubt they would either. I've had this up since March of 2011 and nothing has raided it yet!
