THE PRACTICAL DETAILS
A double hook and 19-inch baffle with configuration-specific guidance
This Gtongoko pole-and-baffle combination is useful when you want two hanging positions and a guard in one selected support package. The source explicitly excludes bird feeders and other hanging accessories. The 19-inch baffle is a pole barrier, not a feeder or a guarantee that animals cannot reach the food from another direction.
Unlike a vague nominal-height label, the source provides four paired measurements:60,76,92 and 108-inch assemblies correspond to approximate above-ground heights of 49.8,65.8,81.8 and 97.8 inches after 10.2-inch prongs are inserted. The hook and feeder suspension lower the actual body further. The pole is 3/4-inch outside-diameter steel with a 0.8-millimeter wall, and the double hook is described as 16 inches wide.
The maker gives single-hook load claims of 19,18,17 and 12 pounds at those respective assembly settings. It separately says to distribute weight evenly when both hooks are used; that does not authorize doubling each claim into a total rating. Choose this reference if its specific ground, height and guard instructions match your setup. A support without a baffle is an alternative when you already have a correctly fitted guard. A generic hard-surface attribute conflicts with the detailed soil-stake design, so do not treat it as a floor-standing base.

Where this model is useful
- Configuration-specific height information helps plan the installed support.
- Included baffle avoids assuming a separate guard comes with a bare pole.
Trade-offs to check
- Single-hook claims must not be doubled into an unlisted total.
- Surface fields conflict; no hard-floor base is established.
Fit & buying checks for this reference
Use the intended ground installation
The detailed instructions require full insertion in firm level ground.
Plan both load and guard placement
Follow the current model’s height-specific instructions rather than transferring a generic baffle height to every support.
Documented access & care
Model-specific guard placement
The source recommends its baffle 4–5 feet above ground and pole 8–10 feet from jumping points. These are the selected model’s placement instructions, not a universal effectiveness guarantee.
Questions about this selected product
Are two feeders supplied?
No. The source explicitly excludes feeders and other hanging accessories.
Can I double the 12-pound full-height claim for two hooks?
No. It is a single-hook claim, and the source gives separate even-distribution guidance without a verified doubled total.
Is 97.8 inches the feeder’s bottom height?
No. It is the source’s approximate pole height above soil at full assembly, before hook and feeder drop.
