Install the pole away from overhanging branches, fences, railings, or other launch points that could let squirrels bypass the baffle from above. When driving the pole into the ground, use a rubber mallet or protect the top with a block of wood, and keep the narrowed end pointed downward.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTube Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6 in. diameter × 12 in.
