I recently relocated to south Texas. Before the relocation I had lived in north Texas and was very fortunate to have one of the Erva pole systems in my backyard. The product was more than I expected. The pole system held up to the brutal seasons that you experience living in Texas. I had several feeders and bird houses mounted. The products are highly recommended as far as quality and workmanship. Also, in my opinion, being made in America you can expect much better quality as compared to the imports sold by others. Thank you for offering quality products at a fair price.
