Erva Double Arm Shepherd Hook for Hanging Feeders & Plants - Sturdy and Durable - Made in The USA

Needed sturdy hangars for heavy bird feeders. These did the trick.

Let's get the negatives out of the way first-As others have said, the bottom of the 4 prongs are flat, not chiseled. Unless the soil is quite soft, you are not going to be able to sink all 4 prongs simultaneously - which is what you have to do to mount the pole without a lean. We purchased this for our seasonal stay at an RV park with lots of clay and gravel under the grass. I ended up removing a patch of sod and used a small trowel to hand dig a pit to set the prongs into, refill the pit and reset the sod.While this device is solid enough to set with a mallet, that lovely powder coat paint is going to be removed and you will quickly get rust.As other reviewers have said, the manufacturer needs to take a closer look at its shipping packaging. I had a hole in my box - fortunately all the pieces were in the box and undamaged.What I liked-This is not a flimsily constructed device.Those 4 prongs give this hook a LOT more stability in all directions compared to the type with one central spike plus a single wire stabilizer.We bought the dual hook, but are still looking for the item we want on the 2nd hook - The hooks are separate pieces that simply slide into brackets. For now we have only one hook installed and it looks much better than an empty second hook. Further, as we are only at our stationary RV seasonally, it will be easy to remove the hooks and top half of the shaft and store them in the RV's storage bays. Hopefully that bottom half of the shaft isn't worth stealing (yeah even good RV parks can get itinerate miscreants) because I don't want to have to reinstall the base every year.

Nice pole. I finally put this pole up last weekend. I bought it because it was made in the USA. As other reviewers have said, it isn't meant for a heavy feeder. I have two feeders on it and it is definitely leaning with the heavier one. I have half a cinder block on the bottom to try correct the leaning but not doing much good. I thought with 4 legs in ground it would be more stable. Rather disappointed. So I will have to move some feeders around and find another cinder block for the other legs. I guess the screw in poles are the best. Should have taken the advice of other reviews Update: I realized that the leaning isn't because of the legs, it because the main poles are too slender to support much hanging from them. I'm going to try using a piece of pvc piping over the pole to see if that would help with the leaning. Alot of money for a pole that can't support much weight. Will update when I get the pipe and see if that helps.

Like many people who live in Florida, we always enjoyed the different varieties of birds here. But it wasn’t until we decided to get a bird feeder that we really appreciated the incredible diversity. We are now officially bird nerds! Here are the products that have made it happen: For the bird feeder, we went with  Perky-Pet 312 Panorama Bird Feeder, 2 lbs . We ordered two and I suggest you do as well. The birds will usually go back and forth between one and the other and it will allow more of them at one time. These are easy to fill and have been the perfect size for birds to visit. For the poles, we started with the  GrayBunny GB-6817D Double Shepherd Hook 65 Inch Heavy Duty 1/2 Inch Thick Rust Resistant Steel With Two Twin Hooks, Hang Planters Bird Feeders Mason Jars Lanterns Plant Baskets Solar Lights & Weddings  which is an excellent product, but unfortunately didn’t extend high enough to go above bushes outside our lanai (we installed it so we could see the birding action from our dinner table). We replaced that with the  Erva Adjustable Double Shepherd Hook, Black, 4' 6" to 7'H  that has an adjustable arm that goes up to 86” high and is now perfect. For the feed, we chose  Cole's Wild Bird Products BR10 Blue Ribbon Blend, 10 Pounds  based on reviews. Does it work? So far, our feeder has attracted woodpeckers, blue jays, brown thrashers, grackles, wrens, titmice, cardinals, mourning doves, finches and wild parrots! We had to print out a bird identification sheet to recognize them all. We also bought the  Gosky 10x42 Binoculars for Adults, Compact HD Professional Binoculars for Bird Watching Travel Stargazing Hunting Concerts Sports-BAK4 Prism FMC Lens-With Phone Mount Strap Carrying Bag  and they are amazing. Their built in adapter for smartphones will be useful for bird closeups as well as trips. Pick up a “bird nerd” t-shirt and you’re officially in the club.

This is a sturdy, good quality product. It is easy to assemble and the height is adjustable. I use it to hang bird feeders.

Perfect sturdiness and height for my birdseed & duet feeders!Compared to a single pole feeder, this pole has multiple feet which hold it securely in the ground. It also makes it easier to square the pole up, so it doesn’t lean.I added the baffle separately. My only issue was the pole is so narrow in diameter that we had to permanently mount the baffle to the pole, because the mounting hardware wasn’t tight enough on the pole & the baffle would slide down the pole.

This is very heavy, but so far my very heavy hanging plants are good. The 4 "legs" give it lots of stability. I did think it was very pricey, which is why only 4 stars. It needs to be assembled and you will need a wrench.
