Bird feeder poles and baffles

Match the pole to the feeder first: Brome’s 5 ft, 1-inch pole takes its tube feeders, and the Squirrel Buster Plus with an adapter. On a pole you already have, add a baffle sized for its diameter.

A commission never decides the picks. How we choose.

Measure first
Adapters and baffles fit a range of outside pole diameters; “universal” is not a size.
Count the full weight
Add the feeder with food, water and accessories; the maker’s load limit decides, not the label.
Where the baffle goes
WoodLink puts its baffle about 4 to 5 ft above the ground. Keep the pole away from anything a squirrel can jump from. Baffle guide
Several feeders
A station with arms spreads feeders out; space them so birds and squirrels cannot hop between them. Feeder stations
Already in the box?
Bundles can include a hanger, adapter or solar panel. Count each part once.

Capacities and fit are the makers’ own figures. How we compare.
