I love this feeder, but after only one season a bear decided it loved it too! Anyone know where I can get a replacement pole?

We had the same problem at first but finally the birds are using it. However it is NOT squirrel proof. We spent a lot for this and one from Lowes would be just as good. Went out one morning and the squirrel was inside it having a feast! Had to tape the top closed. They hang from the pole and push the feeder back and forth til the seed falls out. Good luck.

Yeah, you have to call the manufacturer. You can find the number online at Eureka tents. The tent poles are not substantial enough for the tent. Mine broke during the second season. First the back one and then the front. You could order thicker tent poles ($$) or use a sleeve at the pitch point to take the stress off the pole. The sleeve is bigger than the poles and slides over to where you want to leave it. Best to tape it in place.

I purchased one so many months ago, I don't remember how it came...but if I remember correctly, the inventor of this feeder was on Shark Tank recently, so he may not have that type of packaging if he is starting out & doesn't have a big business yet. Just a guess. TIP: Don't leave this feeder unattended until you get the squirrels conditioned to stay off of it, because they will gnaw the bottom plastic to make the seed fall out. That is the only flaw I've noticed, everything else is great about this feeder.

Janice , I guess the question is the Plexiglas shattered or cracked. If it cracked I would go to Home Depot Or Lowe's and purchase some very good and strong epoxy glue and glue the Plexiglas and keep using it . But if the squirrels attacked the feeder and shattered the Plexiglas then I would go on the manufactured web page or call them by phone and see if you could obtain the part from them directly .

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 didn't have much luck with this feeder. The squirrels figured out a way to get at the seeds. After about 3 weeks of use, a couple of the screws came loose and one of the perches fell off. I couldn't find some of the parts in the snow so I just wrote it off as a loss. You might try hanging some weights off the perch and see if that helps. I'm sorry that I can't be much help to you.

bottom of the feeder is a straight pole. You could anchor it in concrete or in the soil

No replacement. This is our 2nd feeder. The first one lasted forever. Some squirrels learned to wedge into the feeder space and push the lever down. Their was minimal loss of seed. This time we used 4x4 post with vinyl fencing sleeve over it. It is too high for them to jump on it and they can not climb the vinyl. Worked great all winter. No squirrels

There is no way to pole mount this feeder that I can see. It needs to hang from the ring.

you would have to fix some kind of holder for the pole. I have seen flat feeders that were already adapted to a pole which is probably a better choice. I have mine having on a shepard's crook pole.

The feeder should be screwed onto the pole mount.Make sure the screws are tight.You have to really smash the poles together, hard.I had my 14 year old son do it.You may borrow him if you want!

Sorry, I can't really help you. I didn't have that problem during the short period of time my feeder was in use. It was destroyed by a hungry bear shortly after I installed it! I guess if there is a space where a small bird could get into the feeder, it's a possibility. It's been quite a while since I had my feeder, so I don't remember much about it. You might want to call the Perky Pets folks -- they might be able to shed some light on the problem. They are an old, well-established bird-feeder company!

We have 3 of these feeders -- I'm guessing it is about 5/8" -- It would not be big enough for a 1" pole.
