Smoking Hot Deal 8 Unit Gourd Rack with 8 Troyer Vertical Gourds (#SHD)

$170.00 OFF Retail with this 2026 Smoking Hot Deal (Price good till 11/30/26))

Gourd Rack 8 Unit: The Gourd Rack 8-Unit is top-of the line in construction and innovative design. It features our four-part rope and pulley system which will vertically lift and lower the hub section without the hub turning, with ease. Includes the 2-inch square, 2-piece 14-foot tall pole, aluminum heavy-duty ground stake, two solid 48" long top perch rods, the aluminum hub with installed glide buttons, unique U-like gourd-hanging arms with 8 horizontal gourd mounting arms, rope cleat, a pole cap and stainless hardware. Manufactured in Pennsylvania by the Troyer's, this gourd rack is superior in quality and craftsmanship

Features: It features a four-part pulley system for easy raising and lowering. The Troyer Vertical Gourds slip easily onto the provided Gourd Mounting Arms, no enlarging of the hanging needed. The all-aluminum hub has nylon glide tabs for squeak-free operation. Also included; eight Horizontal Straight Gourd Mounting Arms, 45-feet of polyester rope; an aluminum rope cleat; and a 2-inch-square aluminum pole assembly with a plastic pyramid pole cap and two solid 3/8" top perch rods.

Materials: Aluminum pole, aluminum ground stake, aluminum hub, aluminum braces, aluminum arm. Eight high-strength 3/8" solid aluminum gourd mounting arms.

Pole Dimensions: Includes the 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 Arms: Eight 3/8" solid aluminum horizontal straight Gourd Mounting Arms The horizontal gourd mounting arms have a drilled hole at the end of the arm. Slip your gourd onto the arm and insert your supplied stainless hitch pin into the GMA's drilled hole. The pin will keep your gourd from falling off.

Gourd Accommodation: Any plastic or natural gourd can be fitted to these horizontal-style gourd arms. 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 8 gourds and hub weigh a total of 40 pounds, you are pulling around 10 pounds. Always wear a good pair of grippy gloves when raising or lowering any gourd rack.

The Troyer Vertical Gourd Conley II Entrance: (Sorry, No Gourd Substitution)

Durable: Troyer Gourds are blow-molded in white (sun-reflecting), opaque, high-density polyethylene plastic. They won't rot, peel, split, or crack out in the elements, and won't break if accidentally dropped like natural gourds can. Because they are molded with ultraviolet inhibitors added to the plastic, they have a long life expectancy with virtually no maintenance other than giving a quick scrub at the end of the season. The Troyer Tunnel is injection-molded using opaque UV-inhibited plastic.

Easy to Hang: Troyer Gourds can easily be hung underneath an existing martin house or from an any of the gourd racks we offer. No need to drill a hanging hole, they come pre-drilled with a 3/8" hanging-hole. Landlords will need to assemble the Troyer Tunnel on to the molded-in collar on the gourd.

Designed to benefit the Purple Martin: The Troyer Vertical Gourd reduces the risk of owl predation, due to its overall length of 13". The extra-wide porch on the gourds give martins a place to lounge in the sun and the inner tunnels now have a wing-entrapment guard and traction tread. Each gourd has an additional perch area with traction on the Tunnel and comes with a pre-drilled 3/8”, front-to-back hanging hole. Gourds have high occupancy rates, plus reduce the incidence of fallouts and premature fledging. Now, busy landlords can offer their martins all the advantages of properly-prepared gourds, without investing the time and effort required to grow natural gourds, then add access doors and canopies, or repaint them every year or so.

Q: On this setup, can you add 8 more gourds? Thanks

Asked by: Rod Ensz - 11/27/2023

A: The most common question asked about this 8 Unit gourd rack is can you add more gourds (expand the hub section). There is no expansion kit for the 8 unit, however you can reuse the pole and pole parts and convert the rack using any of the gourd rack kits that fit 2" square pole, such as the AAA16 Kit.
