The Hub is the S\u0026amp;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\u0026amp;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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\"\u003eScientific Engineering\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDual-Pole Compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Designed to connect directly to the black knob at the top of the S\u0026amp;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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThree-Rod Configuration:\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLocking Hardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOptional Screw \u0026amp;
