Defeated the Squirrels

Made a suet log for our daughter and ourselves and needed a way to keep the squirrels away. Hang the log over a branch with this wire. No squirrel even attempts to go down this wire. My brother-in-law added a pulley at the top to run the feeder up/down. Our daughter made a top hanging hook from a 4" U-bolt, joiner, eye screw, this wire, and a bottom heavy metal loop. She then hung the hook far enough from the trunk of the tree so that no squirrels could jump sideways onto the feeder. She uses an extension pole to place the feeder on the bottom of the heavy metal loop -- squirrels have been defeated. We also intend to use this wire for summer time hanging flower baskets. My only issue is applying the wire-end aluminum ferrules because I find the plastic coating hard to strip, and my aged hands don't have perfect strength to squeeze the ferrules or strip the plastic. That's not the wire's fault so I took off no stars for my own inadequate tools/hands.

Pros
  • Strong - This 200ft wire rope has a maximum weight capacity of 480 pounds, making it strong enough to safely hang even heavy-duty lighting options
Cons
  • The wire is too lightweight, causing it to sway in strong winds
