Gray Bunny Extended Bird Feeder Pole, 49” 2 Pack, Deck Bird Feeder Hook Wall Mounted, Heavy Duty Hanger, Deck Hook for Plants, Suet Baskets - Rust Proof & Adjustable (Black)

I've purchased the shorter variation a few years ago, and decided to come back for the longer version. The product is really solid and durable. But this recent order came in a 6ft by 4ft box, and not double boxed. The rods were zip tied together and had 1 layer of bubble wrap. The box had holes poking through it too. The rods came damaged in many places revealing the metal under the black coating. Amazon told me to upload these photos.

I ordered 1 set of two. Shipping was delayed. I opened and looked at them and was happy. It was recycle day so I broke down the box and off it went. The next day, I installed the poles and one broke where welded to the base immediately...my feeder dropped over 20 ft and is now damaged. The other held a hummingbird feeder ok. I ordered 1 more set of two. Shipping was delayed again. I installed one and it also broke where welded onto base with about 8 lbs. I didn't try the second one. I returned all 4. Had the first one in BOTH packs not broken, I would have kept one set. They look nice for what they are and the pole seems sturdy. It's just the workmanship where the pole holder connects to the base. I could have asked my buddy who welds to repair/strengthen but I felt like they cost too much money to need invest more time and effort. I hope they manufacturer had a quality control issue or maybe someone lazy who was in charge of connecting the holder to the base and I got that result -- because it seems like it could be a good product. I would recommend that you keep the box they arrive in and give the hangers a shot before recycling. It was an easy return for the second set as I had the box. Coming up with something for the first set was a challenge. I'm sorry these didn't work out.

We wanted trouble-free, sturdy, elevated supports for our hummingbird feeders. These are exactly what we hoped for, and exceed our expectations. They are strong and don’t have joints, connectors or potential weak spots. Definitely top quality and worth the price.

Very poor, weak welds - not fit for use. I used these "heavy duty" hangers to hang a squirrel baffle and a Bird Buddy, and a bird baffle and a regular size squirrel-proof feeder. Neither combo exceeded 8 lbs. The very first time I went to refill the Bird Buddy, the welds snapped, dropping the expensive Bird Buddy 20 ft onto the deck below, damaging it. As I tried to remove the squirrel-proof feeder, one of the welds snapped on the other bracket. Luckily, I was able to catch it before it fell. As one can see from the photos, the tube to hold the rod is only pin-point welded at two locations - at the top and bottom of the tube - definitely too weak to hold a birdfeeder or anything else heavier than 1-2 lbs for any duration. There is no metal-metal weld at any other point along the tube - you can pass a sheet of paper between the tube and the plate. Don't waste your money - buy something stronger and more secure to hold your feeders or other back yard items.

This hook assembly was easy to install and is very sturdy. Nice thick metal, holds a lot of weight. I have a 18 inch piece of a branch with holes drilled into it, for suet. No problem. This hook has been in place for 8 months. Only draw back is the screw to tighten the arm. It does not hold well unless you crank it down, and I have seen examples of the screw handle broken. So I just tighten it to give some resistance to the arm, but not too much.

The above picture is NOT of the Heavy Duty Extended Reach Wall-Mounted Deck Hook, but the Deck Hook which it replaced, fortunately! As is evident, the earlier Deck Hook's clamps became distorted, twisted to the point of breaking and making it impossible to use. The Deck Hook replacement has a 4-screw plate, which is anchored securely to the wall, and does not allow any play in that base. The arm (or hook) is flexible to a degree, depending on the weight of (in my case) the bird feeder. A well designed replacement.

Only had 2 small spot welds to hold the hanger bar in place. We put them up over the weekend (4 days ago) and the trash ran today with the box in it. I placed a small bird feeder (maybe 4-5 lbs) on one today and it immediately broke off and fell...breaking my bird feeder with it. I tried to hang a one block suet feeder on the other and it held initially and then broke. Now I have a broken feeder and holes in my deck where the plates were installed. Don't waste the time and frustration, and if you do definitely hold on to the box. Also had to deal with a very argumentative Amazon representative when trying to return the item without the box. Update: The company did reach out to me directly to try to remedy the situation.

Bird feeders off of our deck. Wanted something that would keep the birds nearby but not making a mess on our deck. These work awesome! They cannot handle a lot of weight though so keep the feeders on the small side. Very happy with them!
