An excellent martin pole that fits perfectly into a Heath Outdoor Products AH-12SR 12/6 Room Convertible Aluminum Martin House.

Pros:
+ Made of thick steel (won't bend or get knocked over in high wind)
+ Telescoping (making for easy, raising and lowering of your bird house)
+ Interconnecting pieces (so you can't pull the pole out from the top while raising it)
+ Adjustable height (levers make it easy to lock your pole into place at whatever height you desire)

Cons:
- Somewhat confusing directions on how to assemble (basically assembling it upside down, putting each piece inside the other, so they can't be pulled out of the top when raising it, a really smart design, but not explained very well)
- Can get hung up on the interconnecting pieces during assmebly (happend on the 2nd pole I bought not the 1st, but does happen)
- Two person job (I was able to assemble the 1st pole alone, but 2nd went so much faster with help)

Can be set up using poured concrete or in the ground with 2 T fence poles in the ground with it. I do the first method, but my friends use the second method and they've had their pole longer than I've had mine.

Like my review? Sweet! I'll keep on writing this way.

Very heavy and durable. However, fit inside each tube is problematic and not perfect. Tends to hang up until worked loose. Some what difficult to assemble and not easy to manage. Almost requires two people for assembly. Must be mounted in a deep hole with a poured concrete support. Once the Martin house is mounted and the pole raised it is very stable.
