THE PRACTICAL DETAILS
A spring guard for removable straight sectional poles
The spring-mounted iBorn is a different mechanism from a rigid guard and should be chosen by its support requirements first. The source restricts it to removable sectional straight poles in a nominal 3/4-to 1-inch range. It explicitly excludes one-piece or non-detachable poles and posts. That makes it unsuitable to assume as a universal add-on for curved or permanently assembled supports.
The clear polycarbonate body uses four interlocking panels with a metal spring and buckle. The described installation slides the buckle onto the pole, tightens its screws and places the spring above it with the wide end up. Those mechanical details explain the required access to a straight removable section. The source’s claims about swaying and rotation describe intended action, not independently measured squirrel exclusion.
Diameter is not exactly corroborated: the title says 19.6 inches and dimensions say 19.5 inches. A 3-millimeter thickness is separately stated. A generic component field says pole, but a complete support pole is not established by the detailed accessory design. Choose it for the spring mechanism only if your support fits; a wrap-around non-spring guard is the alternative when the pole cannot be dismantled. No complete rain sealing or universal stability result is established.
Plan the proposed position before buying the spring guard. The seller recommends placing the baffle five to six feet above ground, hanging the feeder about two feet above it and leaving at least two feet from nearby walls, fences and trees. These are this model’s placement recommendations, not a guarantee that every squirrel approach is blocked. Check the actual support layout and the current installation instructions rather than fitting the guard where the required clearances are unavailable.

Fit & buying checks for this reference
Check dismantling access first
If you cannot slide the buckle over a removable straight section, compare a wrap-around guard.
Keep spring orientation model-specific
Follow the delivered wide-end-up instructions rather than guessing from another spring accessory.
Allow for the stated placement clearances
The seller recommends a baffle 5–6 feet above ground, a feeder about 2 feet above it and at least 2 feet from adjacent walls, fences and trees. Check whether the actual location supports those distances; they are model recommendations, not proof against every jumping route.
Questions about this selected product
Can it go on a non-detachable post?
The source explicitly excludes non-detachable poles and posts.
Is a full support pole included?
The detailed accessory design does not establish one, despite a generic component field saying pole.
How is the spring oriented?
The source says above the buckle, wide end up and narrow end down.
What placement distances does the seller recommend?
For this model, the seller recommends 5–6 feet from ground to baffle, about 2 feet from baffle to feeder and at least 2 feet from nearby walls, fences and trees. They are placement instructions, not a universal squirrel-exclusion guarantee.
