Squirrel Stopper Universal In-Ground Pole Stabilizer (PS10)

I am using it to support a bird feeder pole. I just installed it, so I have no long term experience with it, but it kept the pole straight during recent high winds. The spade-like ends seem to be what makes it better than the support it is replacing. Another advantage is that it comes in two pieces and you can place it around the pole without disassembling the pole.

I have had one of the hanging basket poles lean over the past few years. I have a pair of them so they need to be exactly the same, not one straight and the other leaning. They have a good anchor fairly deep into the ground, along with concrete. The ground is soft near of the poles and with weight from the flower basket, it starts leaning. This has fixed the problem. The poles are in an area near my deck which has landscape gravel on the ground and no grass. I scraped away the gravel, marked the landscape fabric for the feet position, slit the fabric and pushed the feet into the ground. I ended up using some brown spray paint on the tops of the 4 arms, so the shiny metal of the arms does not show through the gravel, even though it is a good 3 inches thick.

The pole stabilizer is very sturdy and works well; however, no screws were included for putting it together. As a follow up to my initial review, the company sent me the hardware within a few days and Installed the support. Working well so far.

We were looking for something to support our garden spinner and hanging basket rod. When it gets windy this Fall and Winter, we don't want to worry about them falling over. I am very happy with the quality of this product and am confident this is a big stability improvement. And, fairly easy to install, although the bolts took me laying on on stomach in the dirt to get the threading lined up correctly. Worth it anyway. I will be buying another one.

ordered 4, one was missing all screws delaying project and costing more.
