  • Weatherproof Moisture Guard: If you utilize the side-mount option, the kit includes a specialized weather plug to seal the open top mount and completely block rain from entering the pole.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Is this a squirrel-proof bird house pole?
No. The Universal Mounting Pole Kit is designed purely as a heavy-duty, ultra-stable structural support pole. It does not include a squirrel baffle or specialized moving components. If you are looking for a completely squirrel-proof system, we highly recommend our Squirrel Stopper Denali Mounting Pole, which features a built-in patented spring-action pest baffle.
What types of birdhouses and feeders can I mount on this pole?
This pole is universally compatible with any birdhouse or bird feeder that is designed to be bottom-mounted or side-mounted. It pairs perfectly with heavy-duty products, including the JCS Wildlife Ultimate Bluebird House, Fly-Thru Platform Feeders, Large Hopper Feeders, and Cedar Wood Duck Houses.
How does the dual-mount universal flange work?
The included mounting flange can be installed in two ways depending on your accessory. You can mount your birdhouse or feeder directly on top of the flat plate (bottom-mount), or secure it to the vertical face of the plate (side-mount). If you choose the side-mount option, simply pop the included weather plug into the open top of the pole to keep rainwater from collecting inside the steel.
How deep does the auger go, and how tall will the pole stand?
When screwed down into the soil to the pre-marked ground alignment sticker, the pole stands nearly 5 feet tall above the ground.
Can I make this pole taller if I need extra height?
Yes! If you are mounting a tall nesting box (like a duck house) or simply want extra distance from ground pests, you can easily increase the height using our seamless snap-in extenders:
  • With 12" Extender: Stands nearly 6 feet tall above ground.
  • With 24" Extender: Stands nearly 7 feet tall above ground.
How much weight can this mounting pole safely hold?
This is considered the strongest pole on the market. Thanks to its thick 1.25-inch commercial-grade steel construction and heavy-duty auger, it is engineered to easily support large, heavy wood or poly lumber nesting houses and high-capacity feeders without bowing, tipping, or swaying in heavy winds.

Pole with 12" Extender
Great sturdy poles!!

I purchased a wooden bluebird house that is made to hold a camera inside and is a bit larger than most. I was looking for a sturdy pole, reasonably priced, to mount it to. I love the fact that the pole screws into the ground for stabliity and that they supply a rod to twist it in with! I also like that the mount has two key screws to tighten to the pole...most only have one. I purchased two sets of poles as I will be buying another one of the houses. Looking forward to being able to "watch" inside the house next season!

Easy Install, great quality. Exactly what I was looking for. The kit has everything I needed. Use a level on top of the base post the entire time while twisting the auger into the ground, that way at the end it’s perfectly straight. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! I will definitely be buying more in the future!

I already have tree swallows in my new bird house. This is a great product and recommend it to anyone interested in a bluebird or tree swallow box. I got the shortest option and would no go with any else if you like to see the newly hatched birds.

Solid pole that easily supports a large bird house. Easy to put together and screw into ground.

Great nesting box post! We bought our first one through a different platform and weren't disappointed. So much that we now ordered the second pole directly from here. The pole is sturdy and the auger does its job well. We have stony ground and had to change the position of the first pole three times so that it stood straight. We thought well, surely some piece would break? Auger at least must loose some pieces? Nothing like that happened. The pole is amazing. The mount on the top to place the nest box on is great, very easy to use. Highly recommend!

Very good customer service.

REVISEDI am a 64 year old woman and was able to actually rip the metal pole. EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED! I do not recommend this product.New…After seller read my review I was contacted within 1 day.The portion of the pole I damaged was replaced with reinforced holes so that even I can’t damage it! Thanks to JCs wildlife for great customer service!

SO EASY!

Got this pole to put my new Bird Buddy feeder on. It was so easy to get into the ground with the auger, went in within seconds. I did skip **** on the 3rd piece as it just would’ve been too tall but it’s looking great! I’m sure I’ll be back for more of these eventually!

Easy to assemble, screws into the ground, holds almost any feeder

I did the research, and my wonderful husband bought this whole set-up for me for Mother's Day. I think he was tired of hearing me complain about the squirrels and raccoons eating all the birdseed! The pole works very well and the whole setup withe this pole set, a hollow baffle, and new squirrel-proof bird feeder is doing the trick. This pole is well-made and strong, with a long awl that screws it into the ground very well. All the parts were there. The bird feeder happened to have a hole in the bottom that fit perfectly onto the pole, but the pole does comes with a square piece with holes and **** for other types of feeders. Very well-thought out and well-manufactured item.

Much better than I thought it would be...

I was surprised to see how heavy (as in very sturdy) and well built this pole was. I was going to "do it myself" and buy and adapt a pipe to work as a stand. I'm glad I didn't. While I paid more for this stand, it was well worth it. They include a small diameter rod to help insert the pole in the ground. The included auger makes sure it is firmly in the ground. I installed it in less than 15 minutes.I did have to put it into the ground twice. My first attempt was eyeballing to make sure it went in straight. My eyes are not that calibrated anymore. I used a level on my second try and it was very easy to do.

Excellent Heavy Duty Pole!!

This pole is very easy to assemble and **** into the ground. We have a very rocky yard and the auger at the end of this pole had no trouble burrowing through. It also took little effort with the pole they give you to assist with this process.This cute bird cottage was our son's school project and it is built out of very thick heavy wood, this pole and mounting plate are perfect for it! It does not move or sway at all. I highly recommend this pole if you have a feeder, house or anything that has any kind of weight to it!

Perfect for my bluebird house

I've had a bluebird box that my son gave me more than a year ago, but I could never figure out a way to mount it. I didn't want to nail it to a tree, and it seemed a little out of my scope to mount it on a wooden pole that was installed into the ground. Then, I found this pole and it worked perfectly. It was easy to assemble and easy to mount the birdhouse on the pole. It kind of screws into the ground, and the hardest part was finding a patch of ground without rocks (I live in a mountainous area). I researched that bluebirds like their homes facing east or north, so it was easy to orient the pole so it faces the right way.The only downside is that I live in the woods and a wooden pole would have matched the surroundings a little better, but with this pole, at least my birdhouse is mounted, rather than sitting in the basement waiting.

Best Poles (with extensions) for Patio Lights

I had been trying to find poles study enough for a basic patio string light setup. After going through two sets from Amazon that were supposedly made for that purpose--but both broke during installation due to cheap welds--I remembered that I had a Squirrel Stopper Bird Feeder pole that was built to withstand a hurricane. These are much thinner than that pole, yet they're just as strong and worked perfectly. They have an ingenious system for easily drilling into the ground. You do have to do it about 18 inches to really make it sturdy, so the poles end up being about 5 feet high. I added theb24" extension and they're perfect. They also come with a sturdy attachment for connecting bird houses and feeders, and since it had last of holes in it, it worked perfectly with zipties and string lights. 100% satisfied after frustrating trial and error.

Very sturdy pole

Very sturdy bird feeder pole due in large measure to relatively thick-walled pole sections and an auger that sets the pole base deep and solid in the ground. Squirrels jump from the fence top to the top of the bird feeder and back, and the pole barely wobbles or oscillates (see picture of fence/pole configuration). Birds arriving at and departing the feeder have no impact on stability at all. Impressive.Just a couple minor criticisms, though. Seemed a little pricey. And none of the pre-drilled holes in the pole's top mount aligned with any holes in my bird feeder's pole mounting plate (see picture). Required drilling all new holes in the feeder's mounting plate to attach it to the pole's top mount. Probably only worth a half-star deduction if that was an option.

Great pole mount

Very happy with this mounting product. It is built like a tank and the auger works better than hammering on spindly metal parts. Make sure to **** it in to about where the sticker is on the bottom pole. I put lubricant on the threads and taped the auger rod hole to prevent moisture intrusion. The mounting base is predrilled for multiple sizes and the side mount could be used for another feeder or really anything you can think of as the pole is firmly planted once fully installed. A bit expensive but worth it for what I expect will be a long-lasting product. Thanks!

Very sturdy

Had absolutely no dislikes. The pole is solid metal and extremely sturdy. Like that included was the solid metal bar that came with it that helped position the pole into the ground. We have very hard clay dirt and the pole had no problems going into the ground.

Uh…It’s a pole!

I kid! I kid! Didn’t mean to be snarky.This is my second purchase and honestly it is a breeze to install. I have a bluebird house on one and a camera feeder (Peacock) on the other. My only issue was rocky soil. I had to reposition the pole when I got to the rocky layer. As you can see, I was able to install it in the snow. (Ground has not yet had a hard freeze though- but I would bet if you had to install it, and poured boiling water on the ground, it wouldn’t be an issue). I recommend using a level when you install so you can keep the pole level.The template did not come with the kit. That was from the bird feeder I purchased. I drilled two holes to hold the bird feeder. The metal on the bracket isn’t easy to drill :-)I’m not sure I am going to need another pole but I do recommend this product and would use it again and recommend it to my friends.
