Gardman Barley Twist Shepherd Hook

Each hook is designed to support up to 5 lbs. This is ideal for standard bird feeders, lanterns, or lightweight hanging plants, but you should avoid heavier items like large, water-saturated hanging baskets.

Not at all. They feature a step-in ground stake design, meaning you simply press the base into the soil with your foot. For harder ground, we recommend watering the area first to soften the soil before installation.

While the hooks are made of durable steel, they are intended for outdoor use and feature a finish to protect against the elements. To extend their lifespan and maintain the black finish, it is a good practice to wipe them down occasionally and store them during harsh winter months if you live in an area with extreme weather.

The hooks stand 80 inches tall in total. Keep in mind that a portion of that height will be taken up by the ground stake once inserted into the soil, so the hanging height will be slightly lower depending on how deep you push them in for stability.

These hooks are best suited for smaller, lightweight feeders. If you are using a large, heavy-duty feeder filled with seed, it may exceed the 5 lb weight limit and cause the hook to lean or bend.
