Round Rack (#RR12H)

Bundle with your favorite starling resistant gourd.

Bundle: You can bundle your favorite starling-resistant gourds. Price changes with option chosen.

Features: It features a four-part pulley system for easy raising and lowering; a five-foot diameter all aluminum ring, aluminum support beams. The all-aluminum hub has nylon glide tabs for squeak-free operation plus twelve Horizontal 90 Gourd Mounting Arms; 45-feet of polyester rope; an aluminum rope cleat; and a 2-inch-square aluminum pole assembly with a plastic pole cap and two solid 3/8" top perch rods.

Materials: Aluminum pole, heavy-duty aluminum ground stake, aluminum hub, five-foot diameter aluminum ring, aluminum support beams, assembled with stainless steel hardware provided.

Dimensions: Two-inch square high-tensile strength two-piece aluminum pole and stands 14-feet above the ground when installed. Square poles are superior in strength to round martin poles.

Gourd Mounting Arms: Twelve 3/8" solid aluminum horizontal 90 Gourd Mounting Arms (GMA's). GMA's are small gourd pins which bolt on to the rings or the angle arms. The Horizontal Gourd Mounting Arms have a drilled hole at the end of the arm. Slip your gourd onto the pin 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 Mounting Arms, whose neck does not exceed 3". 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 12 gourds and hub weigh a total of 80 pounds, you are pulling around 20 pounds. Always wear a good pair of grippy gloves when raising or lowering any gourd rack.

Extras: If you don't mind your Troyer gourds closer together, you can place 16 gourds on the ring.

Climbing Predator Protection: An optional pole guard (PGS or EZ2) that fits a square pole is available.

Troyer's round rack

I ordered the round rack and it was promptly shipped out to me. The unit comes in 2 boxes and my 2 did get separated and arrive on different days but that was not fault on Purple Martin Products. Packaging was good and all parts were very high quality. My previous martin products were S&K and while their products are functional you definitely get what you pay for. The 8 pages of instructions that came with the rack were intimidating to start with and I wondered what I had gotten myself into., After reading through the instructions several times and having the parts all laid out it was not near as complicated as I initially thought. I just took mine time and kept referring back to the instructions. All holes lined up perfectly, hardware was high quality, and it was evident that I was dealing with a very well thought out product . After completing the rack assembly I installed the ground socket which is actually a post sticking up 2 feet above the ground vs. an in ground socket and after a few days placed the completed rack on the pole. Everything fit perfectly and fit and finish were great. I will be hanging my gourds soon and can't wait for Spring to see what the martins think of their new housing.

Round rack uses

This is a great rack for purple Martin houses but I also use one to hold all my bird feeders. Easy up and down with a winch, and keep the feeders out of the reach of bears.

A great rack

I just finished assembling this rack and am very pleased with the quality of materials and the relative ease of assembly.
