The ‘Table Setter’ Complete Bird Feeder Pole System

The Experience

The ‘Table Setter’ Complete Bird Feeder Pole System creates a stable, purpose-built foundation for medium and large bird feeders, including the spacious platform feeders favored by cardinals, jays, woodpeckers, doves, and American Crows. Its heavy-duty black steel construction, ground-twisting anchor, included mounting flange, and cylindrical squirrel baffle provide nearly everything needed to establish a clean, elevated feeding station in one coordinated setup.

Designed to support one feeder, the three-section pole rises a full 60 inches above the ground while the separate auger-style ground twister anchors 20 inches into the soil. Pair it with The ‘Open Table’ Large Platform Feeder to create a broad, stable feeding station suited to larger backyard birds.

Scientific Engineering

• Complete Single-Feeder System: Includes the pole sections, ground twister, mounting flange, squirrel baffle, and supporting collar required for one elevated feeder installation.
• Heavy-Duty Steel Construction: Built from 16-gauge, 1-inch-diameter black steel tubing for dependable outdoor support.
• Full-Height Ground Anchor: The auger-style ground twister extends 20 inches into the soil without sacrificing the pole’s full 60-inch above-ground height.
• Secure Set-Screw Connection: The ground twister includes a set screw to help stabilize the pole after installation.
• Integrated Turning Holes: Half-inch openings provide leverage points for inserting a suitable turning bar while twisting the anchor into the ground.
• Cylindrical Squirrel Baffle: The included 14.5-inch black steel baffle helps make climbing access more difficult for squirrels.
• Flat-Topped Mounting Flange: Provides a stable attachment point for compatible medium and large bird feeders or platform feeders.
• Three-Section Assembly: Swedged pole sections join securely while allowing more manageable packaging and installation.

Boutique & Conservation Values

• Creates a Dedicated Feeding Station: Establishes a defined location for one feeder without relying on trees, railings, or improvised mounting hardware.
• Supports Larger Feeding Platforms: The sturdy design is well suited to broad platform feeders that require more stability than lightweight hanging equipment.
• Helps Reduce Mammal Competition: The included baffle adds a practical layer of squirrel resistance when the pole is positioned correctly.
• Preserves Open Approaches: Freestanding placement allows birds to inspect the surrounding landscape before landing.
• Coordinated Compatibility: Pairs naturally with The ‘Open Table’ Large Platform Feeder for a complete elevated crow and songbird feeding station.

Steward’s Insight

Install the pole in firm, level soil where birds have an open flight path and a clear view of nearby cover. Keep the station beyond jumping distance from trees, fences, roofs, and other launch points so the included baffle can work more effectively.

The circular flange at the base of the ground twister should sit flush against the soil once installation is complete, with the entire auger section buried below ground. Use a solid turning bar through the half-inch holes to twist the anchor into place rather than forcing the upper pole sections.
