Garden Poles

Sectional poles for mounting feeders, seed trays and even dishes for water. They are made of steel painted dark green or black, and have spikes at the bottom for driving into the ground (or patio bases can be used). The three sections fit together to produce a height of 1.8 metres (almost 6 feet), or more with additional sections. tubular feeders can be fitted to their tops by means of the adapters supplied, while seed trays and water dishes slide on to the poles themselves, as do shelters like the Universal Cover. These poles provide a very versatile alternative to traditional bird tables, with extra possibilities suggested by the use of scroll hooks to enable hanging feeders to be accommodated.
