Hello
Pole guard
Around here never had the need for one
Since I read a post talking about a pole guard
I went web surfing To check them out

Seemed to be quiet pricey
As I see it ] Its just a pipe over another pipe
? So why couldn't you use a PVC pipe over the pole for a ground guard

Or am I missing something here

That's what I was using, a 4 foot long piece of 6 inch pvc (drain pipe). I cut a triangle hole in the end cap just big enough to fit my S&K Tri-tel pole for the top. I also used netting at the top to prevent snakes from getting up the pole, but never had any trouble. At the time I actually used PVC drain pipe which is cheaper than the regular pipe. Not sure what it costs now, but I'm sure it has gone up.
