19 inches diameter design for stronger protection A 19 inches diameter makes this squirrel baffle more effective than smaller sizes. Larger diameter makes it harder for rodents to balance on the baffle, whether they fly up or climb up. Anything smaller than 19 inches cannot step over easily, helping keep bird seed available for birds rather than for greedy squirrels or raccoons. Durable, practical construction Made of PP material with a glossy black finish, this baffle guard is crack resistant and durable. It stays unobtrusive in outdoor spaces and is wear resistant and weather fastness, with no fear of rain or sunburn. It effectively reduces squirrel theft of bird food, helping you save money on wasted seed. Easy to clean and rust resistant The squirrel protector has a slippery surface that makes it difficult for squirrels to grip. Dirt on outdoor baffles is easy to wipe away thanks to the glazed surface. Unlike metal baffles, this PP baffle will not rust, helping your garden, patio, porch or yard stay neat and tidy. Simple installation Assemble by pressing down the buttons on the side of the baffle, then connect the S hook to the baffle. Choose a branch or pole that is enough (at least 6 feet from the ground), then hang the baffle. Position the squirrel deflector 8 to 10 feet from the trunk of the tree (or any other platform). Finally hang the bird feeder underneath the baffle. Use scenarios Protect a hanging bird feeder on a tree branch in a backyard from squirrels and other intruders, keeping seed available for birds. Install on a garden pole or stand to shield feeders on decks or patios, reducing seed loss to clever rodents. Use in open gardens or courtyards where multiple feeders are supported by branches or posts, ensuring bird food goes to feathery friends rather than to pests.
