It's pricey, but not as bad a getting new bird feeders every year.

Works good for my bird feeder but will rust and break off after a few years of use. Mine lasted about 10 years.

Strong with ability to add various lengths of 1" pipe and various hangers.Only thing stronger than this anchor is a bear. Had 2 of these bent to the ground beyond repair from bears going after the seed/suet last 3 years. If you have bear presence where you live, bring your feeders in at night and back out in the morning and this feeder system will last for years. I get lazy and voila!, the bears return. Go figure. Highly recommend this product.

Installation is a bit tricky without long handles to drive it into the ground, but a long sturdy screwdriver through the holes in the pole end will do the trick just fine! I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the metal, very heavy and solidly built!

This is the second one of these I have used in my yard for bird feeders. The first one is still solidly in place after many years of use. They are easy to install, even in our hard clay soil.

I purchased the ground socket together with the Erva FP3NF 60-inch feeder pole. Both items are of quality construction and together they provide a rock solid base and pole for our Bird Buddy feeder. Prior to purchasing these products we had a pole with a five prong base and those short prongs couldn't keep the feeder from swaying around when larger birds landed or took off.It was a little tricky getting the ground socket screwed into the dirt in a plumb alignment. With the pole inserted just deep enough in the socket that I could insert a steel rod into the turning holes, it took two of us to place the socket -- one to eyeball the pole from various angles to keep it as plumb as possible using a bubble level while the other person screwed the socket into the ground. In the end, the pole is tilted a degree or two in one direction but that was our error and not the fault of the socket or pole. A plumb bob hung a few inches adjacent to the pole's intended location might make that task a little easier with a more accurate outcome.If we ever get additional feeders for our yard (or anything else that requires a vertical pole) I'll definitely purchase this Erva again.

Bought this because of the 1 inch opening. My weather station manual said it would accept attachment with 3/4 inch pipe. I found that 3/4 inch pipe took some grinding to fit into the 1 inch opening. The difference in inside diameter and outside diameter. Spec it a little wider to accept 3/4 more easily and you would sell a lot more.Twisting in the ground was easy. So far very stable. Had a windstorm over the weekend and supported 8 feet of 3/4 pipe with a weather station on top in 40 mph winds.

This socket twists into the ground quite well and supports a one inch diameter pole with no problems. If you have rather loose or sandy soil you may not like it but if you have dense soil like clay or hard packed topsoil you'll like this product. When I want to move the feeders to another spot all I do is unscrew the socket and locate it to another spot. UPDATE: CAUTION, if while screwing into the ground and you hit a rock or some other extremely hard object and break off the very end of the screw wire you most likely won't be able to use the socket again if you try to move it. Without the tip it doesn't dig into hard ground. It just sits there and spins.
