Khordin 17" Metal Squirrel Baffle for 4x4 Post — White pole-mounted guard, weatherproof metal

Khordin Metal Squirrel Baffle is a 17-inch weatherproof metal guard that mounts to 4x4 posts or round wooden poles to block squirrels, raccoons, and other climbers from reaching bird feeders.

If you’re tired of critters raiding your bird feeders, this pole-mounted baffle provides a durable, low-maintenance barrier. Built from robust metal with a protective coating, the 17" Khordin guard is made to withstand rain, snow, and wind while preventing animals from climbing up wooden posts. It installs quickly without special tools and fits most common post sizes, making it a practical addition to yards, gardens, and parks where bird feeding matters.

How does this baffle attach to my 4x4 post or round wooden pole?

The Khordin baffle secures to square 4x4 posts or round poles between about 3.4" and 4.6" in diameter. Its design includes four removable boards that allow the guard to wrap around the post and lock in place—no advanced skills required.

• Fits posts 3.4"–4.6" diameter (covers common 4x4s and round poles)
• Four removable boards make installation simple and tool-free
• Recommended mount height: around 8 feet to prevent vertical jumps

Will the metal construction survive outdoor weather?

Yes — the baffle is manufactured from sturdy metal and finished with an advanced weatherproof coating to resist rust and fading. This treatment extends service life in exposed outdoor conditions, so the guard continues to protect feeders through seasons.

• Robust metal body resists bending and tearing
• Weatherproof coating shields against rain, snow, and UV exposure
• Designed for long-term backyard use without frequent replacement

Does it actually stop squirrels and raccoons from climbing?

The 17" diameter and smooth metal surface are intended to prevent animals from gaining purchase and climbing past the barrier. For best results, mount the baffle high enough to exceed typical jump distances and combine with good feeder placement.

• 17" reach and slick finish reduce climbing grip
• Mount at roughly 8 feet to account for vertical leap by squirrels
• Works on wooden posts where pole-mounted feeders are used

How easy is maintenance and what does assembly involve?

Maintenance is minimal: occasional wiping or rinsing keeps the finish clean, and the metal resists most wear. Assembly is straightforward—attach removable boards around the post and secure—no special fasteners or expertise necessary.

• Quick to assemble with four removable panels
• Wipe clean or hose off to remove dirt or droppings
• No routine treatment required beyond basic cleaning

Who is this for: The Khordin 17" Metal Squirrel Baffle is designed for homeowners, gardeners, and bird enthusiasts who use pole- or post-mounted feeders and want a reliable, low-effort way to reduce nuisance wildlife. It’s particularly suitable for users with standard 4x4 posts or round wooden poles who need a weather-resistant solution that installs quickly and lasts through seasons.
