Troyer's AAA 16-unit Gourd Rack

Features: It features a four-part pulley system for easy raising and lowering; eight aluminum angle arms that extend from the hub approximately 33-inches.  The all-aluminum hub has nylon glide tabs for squeak-free operation plus sixteen Horizontal Gourd Mounting Arms; 45-feet of polyester rope; an aluminum rope cleat; and a 2-inch-square aluminum pole assembly with a plastic pole cap and two solid 3/8" top perch rods.

Materials: Aluminum pole, heavy-duty aluminum ground stake, aluminum hub, and eight aluminum angle arms. Also included are sixteen Horizontal Gourd Mounting Arms.

Dimensions: Two-inch square high-tensile strength two-piece aluminum pole and stands 14-feet above the ground when installed.  Square poles are superior in strength to round martin poles.

Gourd Accommodation: Any plastic or natural gourd can be fitted to these horizontal-style Gourd Mounting Arms, whose neck does not exceed 3".  If your gourds are not already drilled front to back in the upper neck, use a 13/32" drill bit to enlarge the hanging holes.

Four-part pulley system: Each of the pulleys carries a 1/4 of the load.  If your 12 gourds and hub weigh a total of 60 pounds, you are pulling around 15 pounds.  Always wear a good pair of grippy gloves when raising or lowering any gourd rack.

Extras:  Easy to do nest checks with the crossbar design.

Climbing Predator Protection:  An optional pole guard (PGS or EZ2) that fits a square pole is available.
