Woodlink BAF3GR Post Mount Squirrel Baffle

The squirrel baffle has a split that is supposed to allow it to be wrapped around the 4x4 post, but it is very difficult to get it onto the post. When I did get it around the post, one of the four mounting tabs broke off when I was tightening the mounting screws. There was very little weld holding the tab, it looks like it was mostly held in place by paint. I do not recommend this squirrel baffle.

Very durable and I am quite pleased. It was a bit tight to fit around the 4x4 while connecting the seam but once installed, is a great baffle to protect nesting birds from predators. The coating is superb and makes it difficult if not impossible for a squirrel or coon or possum to grab or climb up on. I will use more of these in the future with wood duck boxes.

I had another squirrel guard on the 4x4 post that my feeders hang from and it did not work. This one does. No squirrel has gotten around it. However, be aware that it will not stop raccoons and manufacturer does not claim that it will - best way to get rid of them is to live trap and relocate them.
