Gourd Arms: Six 3/8" solid aluminum horizontal arms. Arms for "Deluxe" and "K-Series" style gourd racks have a 90-degree bend on the end that slips into the hub bracket. There are three configurations; straight that slip into the single hole on the hub bracket, and left and right, which are paired in an adjacent side of the hub. The horizontal gourd arms have a drilled hole at the end of the arm. Slip your gourd onto the arm and insert your supplied stainless hitch pin. The pin will keep your gourd from falling off.
Gourd Accommodation: Any plastic or natural gourd can be fitted to these horizontal-style gourd arms. If your gourds are not already drilled front-to-back in the upper neck, use a 13/32" drill bit to enlarge the hanging holes.
Four-part pulley system: Each of the pulleys carries a 1/4 of the load. If your 6 gourds and hub weigh a total of 30 pounds, you are pulling around 5 pounds. Always wear a good pair of grippy gloves when raising or lowering any gourd rack.
Extras: This 6-arm rack comes with a hub designed to accept 6 additional arms on a lower tier (
6up12Kit) in the future should you desire or conditions warrant it. You do not need to remove the hub from the pole to assemble this upgrade. There is also a
6 up 18 Kit available; you will need to remove the hub from the pole to upgrade the 6 up to an 18 unit. If upgrading to an 18 unit please consider the
Two-foot Extension Piece. When adding height to your pole, your rope will become too short, please consider upgrading to a
55' rope.
