![]() Here’s a sample we got late this afternoon. We can finally hang our Wingscapes Birdcam and hopefully get some more interesting shots than the ground images I’ve gotten over the past months. This system is much more substantial than the shepherd’s hooks we’re now using for our feeders. Make sure the cup is at the back half of the saucer so there is room for the birdseed to spill out in front of the cup. Then, holding the teacup by the handle, press the cup down into the saucer. Place a line of glue on the teacup from the rim to the bottom, exactly opposite the handle. Since the pipes were not meant to nest this way, the long pole wobbled a bit. Start by gluing the teacup to the saucer. Depending on the models, these hangers can. When the pipe was buried with only a few inches above the ground, we slid the long pole into the base. A deck hanger or freestanding hook is a great way to add bird feeders just about anywhere you want to put them. ![]() We first hammered one end of the pipe in slightly, to prevent too much dirt entering the pipe from below. We then used a sledgehammer to pound the base pipe directly into the ground. The end-caps were then screwed onto the ends of the arms. Pliers were used to tighten the S-hook around the bolt. They used a drill to cut holes in the end caps and then used the bolts, nuts & washers to secure the S-hooks to the ends of the caps.

Here are Arthur and my dad preparing for the project. Two each: S-hook, nut/bolt, large washer, small washerĪt Home Depot, we had an 18″ piece cut off the 10-foot pipe, and the cut side of the 18″ pipe threaded. One 18″ long, 1/2 inch diameter pipe (“the arm”) One 10′ long, 1/2 inch diameter pipe (“the long pole”) One 2′ long, 1 inch diameter pipe (“the base”) We used black pipes normally used for natural gas and/or plumbing systems. The pole system is based on several feeders my parents have, all made by my dad. First we all went to Home Depot to pick up the materials. Today Arthur and my dad made a bird feeder pole for our back yard. ![]()
