Having a squirrel baffle on your pole prevents squirrels and small raccoons from climbing or jumping up to the bird feeder. The flat top is stable enough to provide a feeding platform for some smaller birds to eat dropped seeds from the feeder or try offering peanuts or suet crumbles. Product Details: Flat top (can be used as a small feeding platform) Fits poles 1/2" to 1-3/4" diameter. It does not split apart and will NOT work for shepherds hooks. Dimensions: 14-1/2" long and 7" in diameter Made with galvanized steel Unconditional lifetime guarantee against defects in material and workmanship Installation hardware included Note: To keep squirrels from getting onto your bird feeder, place your pole-mounted feeders 8-10' away from railings, roofs or trees. The top of the squirrel baffle should be a minimum of 4' from the ground to protect the bird feeder. Made in the USA.
