Khordin Metal Squirrel Baffle for 4x4 Post — 17-inch Black, 2-Pack, Weatherproof Powder-Coated

Khordin's 17-inch metal squirrel baffle mounts to 4x4 posts and wooden poles to block squirrels and raccoons from climbing up to bird feeders and hanging food.

Keep bird feeders and hanging baskets protected with a heavy-duty metal baffle designed for outdoor use. This two-piece set from Khordin fits square 4x4 posts and round wood poles 3.4"–4.6" in diameter, offering a wide 17" shield that reduces animal access while withstanding weather. The removable-panel design makes it straightforward to install without specialized tools, and the powder-coated finish helps resist rust and fading season after season.

How does this baffle stop squirrels and raccoons from reaching my feeder?

The large flared shape blocks climbing and vertical jumps by creating an overhang squirrels and raccoons cannot navigate. Mounted at the recommended height, the continuous metal surface prevents grip and redirects animals away from the pole and feeder.

• 17" diameter creates a wide overhang to block climbs and leaps
• Smooth metal surface denies footholds for climbing animals
• Recommended mount height of 8 feet reduces jump reach

Will this baffle fit my post or wooden pole?

Yes—Khordin designed the baffle to attach securely to common post sizes. It fits 4x4 square posts and round wood poles with diameters between 3.4" and 4.6", using four removable boards that clamp around the pole for a snug fit.

• Compatible with standard 4x4 posts and 3.4"–4.6" round poles
• Four-panel assembly clamps to the post for stable mounting
• No custom cutting required; fits typical backyard pole setups

How durable and weatherproof is the Khordin metal baffle?

The baffle’s metal construction and advanced surface coating are built for outdoor exposure. It resists tearing and breakage that can plague plastic models, and the protective finish helps prevent rust, corrosion, and fading through rain, wind, and snow.

• Sturdy metal body offers long-lasting strength and rigidity
• Weatherproof coating minimizes rust and extends service life
• Designed to hold up across seasons without quick deterioration

How simple is installation and maintenance?

Installation is straightforward thanks to the removable-panel design—no advanced tools or skills are needed. For upkeep, periodic cleaning and inspection keep the finish in good condition and ensure fasteners remain tight.

• Four removable boards assemble around post quickly and easily
• No specialized tools required; basic screwdriver may be sufficient
• Low maintenance: rinse off debris and check fittings seasonally

Who is this for: The Khordin 17" metal squirrel baffle is ideal for backyard birdwatchers, gardeners, and anyone who hangs feeders, seed bells, or baskets from a 4x4 post or compatible wooden pole. It’s a good match for people seeking a robust, long-lasting barrier to reduce pest visits—especially those who prefer metal durability over plastic than can crack or tear.
