Keith,

Great setup! Thumbs up

How close is your post to the wooden fence and the tree that are next to it? They look close enough that squirrels wouldn't have any problems jumping to your setup.

It looks close but it's about 12 feet away from them. Squirrels have tried and never get on they land on the ground.
