Introduction: Squirrel Baffle
keep squirrels off of your Bird feeder.
Step 1: Didn't Work
the single 4" aluminum vent pipe was to skinny, the squirrels could still climb it.
Step 2: Double It Up
solution, double them up! get two and snap them together, this gives about an 8" diameter tube.
Step 3: Baffle Top
cut a circle out the diameter of the tube, then cut out the center for the bird feeder pole.
pop rivet 4 small brackets to hold the tip to the tube.
I added duct tape to the inside just as added insurance to keep the joints together.
