I see photos posted of inside/outside porches attached to Super Gourds with round entrance holes, but when looking in the “Shop” the description of these porches state these are for only crescent holes?! Please advise if you have added porches to Super Gourd round hole gourds..... Thank you! Debba

While the porches were designed for the crescent entrances, you can use them on round entrances. However, you'll need to be careful as to the placement of the porches on the round entrance to make sure they attach to the gourd properly and make sure you fill in any gaps with caulking. There are instructions for putting porches on the round entrances for SuperGourds here; https://www.purplemartin.org/uploads/me ... er-566.pdf The instructions specifically for round entrances start on the fourth page.
