The shepherd Stock hook keeper came divided into 2 parts and packed on. He made a massive and stable impression directly. The screwing together went well. One just needs to make sure that both rod parts throughout the screwing hit "just" another, so that the thread is not misunderstood. The holder was easy (and even) in the garden "assemble", strictly speaking, just get in the ground. Now a relatively large feeding station (Erdtmanns Big Tower) depends filled it and it is unshakeable. I'm very satisfied.
