Amazon.com Review
Purple martins, with their monogamous lifestyle and interesting behaviors, are extremely entertaining birds but can often be difficult to attract. Give yourself the best chance of housing these wonderful birds with the help of Heath Manufacturing's 15-foot martin house pole. This extremely strong, three-section steel pole telescopes to 15 feet when fully extended and locks with a convenient, easy-to-use key fastening system. For maximum stability, it's recommended that you plant this pole deep in the ground or concrete; a plastic ground sleeve is included to make this process easier. Once it is firmly seated, this pole is sturdy enough to hold the heaviest of martin houses in even the heaviest winds.

Too soon to review, but... May 16, 2009

I only just put the telescoping pole in the ground last night. Installation was simple enough and the pole seems sturdy. However, I cannot figure out the purpose of the black ground socket piece. Is that portion supposed to be in the ground? What the heck is it
for exactly? Instructions were not clear...If anyone can help me out on this, it would be greatly appreciated.

When I clicked on the purple martin house to purchase it from Amazon a picture of the telescoping pole came up. It was suggested that this pole would be a great combination with the martin house I was buying. When it was time to put everything together we realized that the opening for the pole was triangle shape and the pole was round. My husband figured out a way to make it work. He wasn't pleased with the way the poles were to be connected. He thought that it had a poor design. The martin house and the pole have only been up for a few weeks but they have both withstood some heavy winds. Only time will tell if this will hold up due to the fact that this isn't the proper pole for our martin house.

Design Good - Price A Bit High - Arrived Damaged May 2, 2008

The design of this 3 piece pole system for mounting purple martin houses is well suited to the purpose for which it is intended. That said, for what one gets the price is a bit high. Nevertheless, it saved me the time and effort of designing a mounting system myself and for that I was willing to shell out the $60. The real rub came from the poles arriving damaged such that the interlocking ends of 2 of the 3 poles required a couple hours of shop time to reshape the male and female components of the poles before they could be assembled. This product is not a particularly easy one to return so if you order it, it would be worth confirming the absence of damage upon delivery. The 12 pairs of purple martins that have checked into what my son has named "The Lake House Hotel" don't seem to mind the modified design of the accomodations.

Terrible Locking System!!! April 16, 2008
John Ragone (NJ)
7 out of 7 found this review helpful

The 'Easy Locking' system is probably the greatest misnomer on any product.Additionally like so many other consumers my pole had no markings indicating which end was which. You are expected to force and twist a curved bolt like piece of metal between the two poles in a small gap with little clearance.This requires two people at least and usually can only be done with the pole assembled and on the ground.This in turn makes it IMPOSSIBLE to actually telescope the pole without taking the whole system down to the ground.The pole seems sturdy enough but the locking system makes this less than useless for regular cleaning and maintaining a purple martin house.
