Coates Purple Martin House Mounting Poles

Product Description

Coates Purple Martin House Mounting Poles are Free Shipping and easy as 1, 2, 3! Choose from either of these three-piece telescoping poles with thumbscrew locks for your Coates and WatersEdge houses. Both extend to just over 12 feet after installation.

• TP-12 is made of 18-gauge galvanized steel and is recommended for the two and three-story houses.
• HD-12 is made of heavier, 16 gauge galvanized steel and is recommended for the 4-story houses.

Coates telescoping pole systems are the most reliable and easiest to use. There are no pulleys to rust or ropes to rot. Here at Grower's Solution we would not have it any other way.

Some folks choose to purchase a heavy duty pole system and match it with a smaller mansion for more security in areas where strong winds prevail. Some of our customers prefer to remove the entire system during the off season. Ground sockets make removing the pole system easier.
