Hi Leanne, Thanks for your question. In response, the ORIGINAL "Skinny Squirrel" feeder is made from beautiful, durable, & long-lasting stainless steel. It will look great in your yard, and your birds will love it too.. Hope this helps. If I can be of any additional help, just let me know.. Have a blessed day, Mark

The feeder is held together with staples. I wasn't happy with the one I received as the workmanship was sloppy and one of the boards was split. I won't be buying another feeder from this company.

I've had my feeder for a long time. Got it from a local shop...Mine is all metal and glass. Here is one that is similar but not the one I have.When I purchased it I paid a hefty price for it but it has stood the test of time. Perky-Pet 363 Birds and Berries Lantern Feeder

The hanger is sturdy. I fill it with 2-1/2 to 3 pounds of bird seed; the feeder itself weighs 4 - 5 pounds. It doesn't begin to bend at these weights.

It's made of a plastic like PVC pipe, maybe with some type of glue that works with PVC and if they are light enough and not to many, but it may be too heavy. It can be spray painted. I painted mine and placed it in my back yard cactus garden, filled it up with sand, and it looks great and the birds love it. Thinking about buying another.

The pole is metal but the rest of the feeder is plastic. It's a great feeder...the birds love it, the squirrels can't get up it & I love watching all the action.

The fabric is 100% Polyester. The top is quilted fabric and the side panels are more sheer. Some of the hummingbirds are tacked on, leaving the wings and tail free. After it was ironed, it looked great.

It is made of a metal but it's really flimsy. We lined the chicken coop yard and the dog basically bit threw it in minutes. It's really easy to work with though and would work well to keep rabbits or something like that out of a garden space.

The tube is heavy duty plastic and the rest is metal. This feeder really works to deter squirrels. Best on the market.

I tried a plain plastic wild birdseed feeder, but it was too light and birds spilled more than they ate. I have had great success with a shallow dish with a long hook that is attached to center of dish and threads through a dome over it that helps with weather and also acts as a squirrel baffle. It is also made of plastic, but the long combination screw/hook component adds enough weight that birds don't spill worms as they land. I bought the feeder from Lowes, but there are probably many out there. Having a dish to put worms in decreases breakage of worms too unless you rehydrate them which I never have to do as the birds empty feeder daily.

It is made out of powder coated metal. Not sure if it is steel or just a mixed metal. The powder coat is very durable. I have had my cage for almost a year and it still looks like new. There is plenty of room for the birds to fly from perch to perch and top to bottom.

I think some high density plastic. I really liked them - have 3 and the hummers sometimes would park on them for 10 to 15 minutes and slurp up the nectar and you could see their tongue going into the nectar!

It appears to be a high quality polymer, probably polycabonate. We live out in a rural area with lots of critters and have our hanging from a pole as part of a four feeder array. Have not had any problems with squirrels or raccoons, but about once a month, I wipe the 8 ft pole with clear silicone grease so no critter can get traction to climb up to the bird feeders. Hope this helps. I think that Droll Yankees makes a squirrel shield, but do not have any personal experience with those products.
