Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.

I wanted to get this pole, because I didn't want to jack around with another pole that wasn't designed for the Flowtron zapper. So I picked this up. It works fine for it's purpose. It's actually pretty tall, which is good and breaks down into 3 sections. So when I'm not using my zapper I can take the zapper and the top 2 sections off and just leave the bottom section in the ground (could be a safety risk so use caution). I used a piece of wood on top of the bottom section and a rubber mallet to hammer the bottom section into the ground about half of it's length. This made the base very sturdy. I noticed that it's beginning to rust a bit already, so I suppose this is one of those things that will need an occasional wire brushing and a coat of black Rustoleum about once a year. I have lost my hardware for it somehow, but zip ties work in a pinch. I may contact Flowtron to see if I can get more hardware, or maybe one day when I'm cleaning the basement I will find it. I can't help but wonder if one of the cheapo poles I see at the hardware store would have worked just as good? Maybe, maybe not. At least this way I supported an American company.
Love it. Pretty easy to assemble but a bit unforgiving if you push together the pieces & need to disconnect for any reason. You will need a Tall 8’+ ladder & a 2nd person to install & hang your zapper. Super Sturdy. love, Love, LOVE their products. Keep up the Good Work & designs.
The pole worked out perfectly for mounting our new Flowtron 1-1/2 acre bug zapper. It was complete and easy to assemble. It is sturdy enough and gets it up high enough to be very effective. It also looks great and like it belongs there. I would rate it highly and recomend it to anyone mounting up to the model we did.
I've seen a review or 2 that says that this pole will not work with the Flowtron BK-80D. That's wrong. When you hang that model zapper on this pole, there's 5 inches of clearance from the widest point of the zapper (the top).
The pole comes in sections, and if you're going to install all sections of it, be sure to spike the bottom post into the ground the two feet it says to, otherwise it will sway in the breeze. But at the called-for 2 feet, it'll stay sturdy and true.
The title of "security" is a bit of a lie, however. Its "security" is a nut on a j-hook, that's all. Even if it rusted over time and became difficult to remove the nut, with the pole being sectionalized, it's still a snap to just yank at the top of the pole and remove a section of the pole along with the zapper. If you're REALLY concerned about "security" I'd recommend putting some sort of sealant between the sections so that it can't be removed so easily.
But we ARE talking about a pole for a bug zapper here, so is there REALLY a need for such security? I would hope not.
In the end, this is the best accessory I've come up with for hanging my BK-80D zapper the required minimum 25' distance it calls for, and would recommend it to anyone buying a zapper as well.
Just received today. Total piece of junk- 3 out of 4 pieces would not fit inside the others as directions indicated. Tried for three hours to get them to connect by crimping the tops to reduce the diameter, tried widening the tops to fit over the other ends, even tried heating the pieces up to make them more malleable. Nothing worked. Bug zapper is hanging from a tree with bungie cord. TOTAL WASTE OF MONEY DUE TO POOR ENGINEERING.
I installed this pole straight into the ground by itself, no cement or anything. I just hammered it straight into the grass, and it has held up fine. I use it to hang the flowtron 25 feet away from my deck ( per instructions). The pole is made for your flowtron device, and will withstand a good amount of weather. I had high winds of 20 mph, and heavy rain, and the pole hasn't moved or broke. I highly recommend it.
1. A plastic cap is supposed to go over the opening to the extended bracket, giving the pole a finished look; it is missing from the package-- 2. This item did not come with the hook onto which one hangs the product--am I now supposed to go out and buy a hook for this expensive item?-- 3. Item looked as if it had been thrown in the box with no consideration: the packing slip was crap; no instructions for install (someone else will need to jam them together); is a hammer required for assembly?; and no receipt included.
Other vendors sell this item, at the same price, with the cap and hook included.
I would like the vendor to take the time and consideration to complete this order properly.
I bought two of these lantern poles for my backyard to hang my Flowtrons. Prior to receipt, I looked at different types of stakes on the Internet to stabilize the lantern poles. Not much success for what I was looking for....as I wanted the finished product to look pleasing to the eye. SOLUTION.....I went to Home Depot and went to their steel pipe area and found a 36 inch galvanized steel pipe with a width of one-half inch thick. I used a heavy hammer and pounded the steel rod halfway (18 inches) into the ground where I wanted the Lantern pole located. The lantern pole slips snugly over the steel rod and looks very professional. I then took black zip-ties and attached the (outdoor) electrical cord to the pole.
