The Advanced Pole System

Looks Great, Stays Straight!

Our patented Advanced Pole System (APS) is a revolutionary concept and the foundation for successfully attracting birds to your backyard.

Comprised of interchangeable hardware pieces, the APS lets you select the setup that best suits the habitat in your own backyard and the birds you want to attract.

Its modular design allows you to add or subtract bird feeders, birdhouses and other bird feeding accessories, giving you the ability to create and customize your bird feeding station with over 3,000 combinations — it is all up to you!

Stop by our store and let us help you create your APS masterpiece!

 Mounting Hardware

 Our exclusive, patented Advanced Pole System® (APS) Basic Setup is the perfect beginning to your ultimate bird feeding, housing and/or watering station designed to meet your own individual needs.

Just twist the 3-foot base pole into the ground using the convenient corkscrew auger. Next slide the Stabilizer onto the base pole and push into the ground (Tests show the stabilizer holds the pole straight in up to 35 MPH wind gusts). Add the extension pole and dual flange (specially-designed to mount birdfeeders or houses), and then top it with a bird house or with a hopper feeder. (Bird house not included.)

 Includes:

• 36" base pole
• 36" extension pole
• two-piece large stabilizer
• dual-mount flange

 APS Cylinder Feeder

Offer Food on Top of Your Backyard Bird Feeding Setup

Instead of a finial, top your Advanced Pole System® (APS) with a feeder that can offer bird food cylinders, including our Seed Cylinders, Suet Cylinders and Stackables. Our APS Cylinder Feeder allows you to offer these tidy, long-lasting foods and accommodates clinging and perching birds.

Add a Decorative Touch to Your Feeding Station 

Our Decorative Advanced Pole System® (APS) Double Crook Arm allows you to elegantly add more feeders to your bird feeding setup. Ideal for hanging tube feeders or smaller hanging feeders, this decorative double crook arm is swaged to fit perfectly on top of our APS Base Pole or any of our Extension Poles. (With swaging, one section of the pole is smaller in diameter so that it slides into the larger section. Swaging will also keep water from running into the pole.) Our Decorative Double Arm is black powder coated to match our original APS design and to ensure its durability. Each crook can hold up to 10 lbs.

An EZ Way to Keep Resting Birds Nearby

Placing an EZ-Attach Advanced Pole System® (APS) Decorative Branch Perch on your bird feeding station is the perfect way to give your birds a little R and R between feedings. Some birds will take turns eating at a feeder. Typically, they will wait out of view in a nearby tree or bush. Our decorative perch allows birds to remain in sight while they wait to eat. It can also be used to hang additional lightweight feeders. (Feeder and pole not included.)

Arm Yourself

Adding another arm to your Advanced Pole System® (APS) setup is simple with our EZ-Attach Single Crook Arm. It's ideal for hanging tube feeders or smaller hanging feeders. Our EZ-Attach design makes adding accessories to an APS setup a snap. Just slip the EZ-Attach unit on an extension pole and pull down. (Feeder, bird food and pole not included.)

Baffle Your Squirrels

This Squirrel Baffle can help make your bird feeding station squirrel-resistant. Made of durable, powder-coated steel, these baffles feature a tapered design that is very effective in stopping squirrels before they reach your feeders.

Place your baffle on your setup so the top of the baffle is 4½' - 5' from the ground.
