More Birds ® Metal Bird Feeder Pole, Black, 78-inch

The Stokes Select 78” Bird Feeder Pole has two hangers that can be attached at the top of the pole or farther down if so desired. The pole came in 5 pieces. The first piece was a section of pole that had to be buried in the ground. To do this, I had to thoroughly soak with water the area of the ground I was placing my pole. The piece to bury was spiked at the bottom. I shoved this piece into the ground about an inch. Then directions called for me to place a two by four on top of the spiked pole, then hammer it with a rubber mallet until it was completely buried. I got it most of the way in the ground, but I couldn't get the last inch in. Then I connected each of the next three pole pieces into the previous one. When I was done with that, I placed the hanger at the top of the pole and tightened it with a hand twist screw that pushes into the pole. I haven't gotten my bird feeders to hang from it yet, but I pushed and pulled on the pole and hanger, and the pole only moves around slightly because the pole piece is a bit skinnier than the spiked piece. The spiked piece did not move in the ground at all. So, I would say it is fairly sturdy, and I like the way it looks in my yard.

You will need a mallot to help you but the flat headed triangular part into soft dirt. Ours is falling out of the ground, so we're still trying to figure out the best way to keep it in the ground.It's super tall and really great for outdoor decor if you have a lifted patio.
