Liberty SQC05 Report


Liberty SQC05 Review by Duffer. "Bo" (Conyers, GA United States)

I read all the glowing reviews and was eager to receive this item. Apparently what I received is not what the others reviewed. This pole is a typical example of faulty engineering and poor quality that has been my common experience with items from China. I installed it two days ago. Yesterday we received a fairly brief rain shower. This morning when I examined the pole there are signs of rust on the chintzy "support" brackets that actually provide very little support. If the items that are hung on the crossarms are not exactly the same weight on each end then the crossarms will tilt toward the heavier side. The poorly designed and rust attracting support brackets are unable to prevent tilting, which detracts from the appearance. This is obliquely referred to in the assembly instructions. What is puzzling is that it would be a minor matter to provide support brackets that actually provide support.

The pole arrived with two of the baffle springs unattached. The third spring arrived damaged. I removed the four screws (instructions say there are three) and removed the baffle cover. If you have an emaciated arm you can reach inside the small end of the baffle and attach the springs. If you have an arm of normal thickness it will need to be extra long in order to insert into the larger end of the baffle and reach all the way down to the bottom to reattach the springs. Fingers strong enough to crack walnuts would be advantageous for this procedure.

The main pole is in three sections. An auger is inserted in the bottom section and screwed into the ground. I used a post level to insure that the post would be level to enhance its attractiveness. The next section is the one with the baffle and cheapo springs. The top section holds the crossarms. The sections fit together easily but the top section was out of alignment with the two lower sections. I was unsuccessful in attempts to align it properly. The result is that the top section, ostensibly the showcase section, has a pole out of alignment and tilted crossarms.

Based on my experience I would not recommend this pole. I have noticed that there are what appear to be identical looking poles with different product names. Perhaps they would be a better choice. I considered returning this pole but after the arduous experience of augering through Georgia red clay and the reattachment of the springs to a mind bogglingly poorly engineered baffle I decided to bite the bullet and live with this unattractive addition to my landscape. Also, the birds do not seem to mind the ugliness and they chow down without comment.



Liberty SQC05 Review by W. Barrett (tampa, fl United States)

I thought this was a crazy expensive way to feed birds. Then we looked at getting a baffle for our cheap pole and that was going to cost $20 to $30. Then we had to replace a 'squirrel-proof' bird feeder that the squirrels completely destroyed. And we figured we'd save some money on bird feed once the squirrels couldn't get at it. We put it together and set it up in less than an hour. The auger was awesome! Filled the bird feeder and was amazed at how many days it stayed filled....we will save tons of money in food that was being wasted on those rats with furry tails. It's only been out there about a month so I don't know how well it will hold up. We've had plenty of rain and no rust so far. It seems very well constructed to me.


Liberty SQC05 Review by Lani Weinhold

This is a wonderful product. Very easy to assemble and can be easily moved if needed. Does an excellent job at keeping squirrels away from birdfeeder. I don't have to buy birdseed as often because the squirrels aren't getting to the feeders at all. Also there is plenty of room to hang many feeders and suet cakes without being over crowded for the birds. Just bought a second one to give as a gift because I love it so much. My husband and I enjoy watching all the birds.

Liberty SQC05:: Description


Squirrel Stopper Bird Feeder Pole System. It's squirrel proof! This bird feeder support system will stop all squirrels! The inverted cone-shaped baffle on the pole is spring-loaded and capable of moving both up and down and side to side. Squirrels can't get past it! This system is made of 16 gauge steel, powder-coated with a durable black finish and stands about eight feet tall when assembled. The pole assembly is two inch diameter tubular steel. It features four arms to support 4 different bird feeders or other hanging objects such as bird baths or flower baskets. The bottom section of the pole is equipped with a ground auger which will make installation easy and very stable. The entire system comes in a box about 12 inches square and 48 inches long. Assembly is easy and the completed system is very functional but also has an attractive, somewhat Victorian look.
