Stop looking for a pole - buy THIS ONE!
Although my backyard is mostly woods, believe it or not I did not have any suitable branches to hand my bird feeders! I was debating on a yard pole versus a deck system. My husband reminded me that birds can be quite messy and we should perhaps place a yard pole near the woods, where we can easily see it from our window and patio door. Good idea - as much as I like the birds, the mess belongs in the yard (droppings, shells, feathers, etc). I went to literally 5 garden stores and 3 hardware stores and couldn't find anything suitable. Most were too flimsy, too short, did not anchor well into the ground, etc. I researched this pole and it looked like a good one, although no reviews were available. I took a chance.

This pole is pefect! THick, well made. I have a Droll Yankees Flipper Droll Yankees YF Flipper Bird Feeder and Whipper Droll Yankees YCPW180 Whipper Bird Feeder, Dark Blue. Both are very large, heavy feeders that hold 5 pounds of seed apiece. They are 21 inches long and 4 1/2 inches in diameter, so no flimsy pole was going to do the job! This pole has a corkscrew spike that anchors it into the ground. There are four tripod-like legs that lie flat on the ground for further stability. I purchased an add on double arm mount Droll Yankees, Inc Double Arm Mount and Hanger - Adds 16 Inch Arm to DCH, so I could put two large feeders on the pole. The locking mechanism on the arm really keeps the bird feeder well secured hanging on the pole. The arm is angles outward, giving the larger feeders distance from the pole while hanging. I also ordered a Droll Yankees squirrel dome which works well with this pole Droll Yankees SQPM Pole Mount Squirrel Guard. That is also very thick and well made. Secures well on the pole. No squirrels have yet to get passed it. I also ordered a triple arm hanger Droll Yankees, Inc Triple Hook Assembly, which allows me to hang three other smaller items onto the pole. I have a small peanut feeder, a hummingbird feeder and a suit holder. All is well made and encompases a complete bird feeding station! I liked this pole so much I ordered another one. If you are looking for a pole for your bird feeders, look no further - just order it!

I will try to take a photo and submit it so you can see.

Not quite sturdy enough for my squirrels
I've had a Yankee Flipper feeder for years, which is very heavy when full. I needed a new pole for it so I purchased this one. When I first put it together, it seemed sturdy. But the squirrels in my yard are brutal... when they jump on the feeder it makes the pole arm swing around, which then knocks the legs off (my pole has only 3 legs, not 4). I will have to abandon this pole for a custom made real heavy duty pole that the squirrels can't destroy. I might put a smaller feeder on this pole later, but in my yard it's not suitable for the big Yankee Flipper.

Great solution for bird lovers!
The Droll Yankees Shepherds Envy Pole is easy to assemble. For the price, it is quite sturdy. The best feature is that the pole mounting system is customizable. I use the hanging arm for a suet feeder and bought the mounting arm for a nyjer feeder. The options are endless. I am so happy with this product that I have just purchased a second one.
