I just got my BO stackers from S&K in service and am awaiting my birds. I was trying to post picture, but I guess I cant. Be happy to send pictures if anybody is interested.

The stackers look interesting but I would have 3 concerns.
1. Can the rack arms support the weight of 2 gourds plus 2 full nests?
2. The bottom gourd will not be able to vent out of the top using the S&K vent caps. That alone would prevent me from using them in South Texas.
3. I would think that contaminants would leak down from the top gourd into the bottom gourd in a rain event.
Of course I haven't used them so I could be mistaken.
