Pole guards

[APB]

I know that pole guards have been gone over before but I need some help.

What size pipe do I use?

Does the pipe sit on the ground or fastened higher up the pole?

Thanks for the help!
Pictures would be appreciated too!

It should be 6 or 7 inches diameter minimum and 4 ft off the ground. For more info go to the top of the forum page and hit the search button. Search for pole guard or predator guard and you'll find many posts on the subject. Try these to get started:
