The 'Hub' Hanging Gourd Bracket | S&K Manufacturing 6-Gourd Purple Martin Pole Attachment

The Experience

For the serious Purple Martin landlord building a custom colony system, the bracket is where the program comes together. The Hub is the S&K Hanging Gourd Bracket — a purpose-engineered, USA-made mounting system that transforms any compatible triangular or round pole into a fully functional 6-gourd colony site. Three metal rods extend from a stable plastic hub, each accepting a standard martin gourd, with hardware that locks the rods securely in place and a design that keeps gourds balanced and stable in sustained wind conditions. Whether you're expanding an existing S&K tri-pole installation or building a custom round-pole system from the ground up, The Hub is the connective infrastructure that makes it possible.

Scientific Engineering

• Dual-Pole Compatibility: Designed to connect directly to the black knob at the top of the S&K Telescoping Aluminum Tri-Pole — and also fits over any 1.25" outer diameter round pole — giving landlords flexibility across both triangular and round pole system configurations.
• Three-Rod Configuration: Three 0.375" diameter x 34" metal rods extend from the bracket hub, providing six gourd hanging positions — two gourds per rod — with natural spacing that reduces inter-pair territorial conflict during active breeding season.
• Locking Hardware: Included hardware secures each rod firmly in the bracket hub, preventing rotation or displacement during wind events and maintaining stable gourd positioning throughout the colony season.
• Optional Screw & Washer Securing: The bracket may be additionally secured to the pole with a screw and washer (not included) for installations requiring maximum stability in high-wind environments.
• Balanced Hub Design: The bracket's geometry keeps the gourd load evenly distributed across all three rods, maintaining pole balance and reducing torsional stress on the pole connection point during sustained wind conditions.

Boutique & Conservation Values

• Custom System Architecture: The Hub gives the serious landlord the ability to design and build a colony site around their specific site requirements — pole type, gourd selection, and capacity — rather than being constrained by a pre-configured kit.
• Heritage Manufacturing: Proudly Made in the USA.
