Customers praised this mounting pole kit as "sturdy" and "strong," providing excellent height extension for weather stations. Most found it "easy to install" with quality fixings. However, some reported the pole diameter is too small for certain mounting brackets, requiring modifications. A few felt it was overpriced or unnecessary given existing station fixtures. Overall, well-regarded for stability in high winds.

Graham Excellent addition to the setting up of our weather station. Very sturdy and strong, offers the perfect extension to give height to the weather station.
A
Anna I would definitely recommend including rhe mountin pole with your purchase for a strong and purpose build pole to add height to your mounting it also feels a much more secure attachment than the plastic mounting on most wearher stations

William Does what is meant to.

Steve the pole diameter is too small for the aray to clamp to and I feel its over priced as I had to turn a sleve to mount the aray
M
Mike Ideal good product with all the appropriate fixings.

Brian Does the job perfectly

Susan Adequate, easy to fix in place. Unfortunately had to be returned as weather station did not work.

Phil C. Looks purpose built for the job. Time will tell if any of the parts start to corrode.

Charles Good kit.

Jonathan Yep - this certainly helped with the installation of the Sensor unit

Susan This made putting up the weather centre much easier than trying to attach it to a fence.
B
Bob Easy to use

Peter F. Very tricky getting the station exactly horizontal on to a pole which has to be exactly vertical!
A
Alb A useful accessory for the weather station, however the rod is not a good fit for the Weather Station mounting bracket, also the metal tube distorts if too much pressure is put on it.

Sandy It arrived promptly. Shorter in length than I imagined but it was the length specified. Thought this one-piece pole would be more stable in high winds than the Davis two-piece equivalent and think experience has proved me right. Very good quality mounting bracket and substantial 4 fixing screws - wondered if the fence post they were going to be screwed into was sturdy enough but it was. Perhaps I drilled the pilot holes with too small a drill bit but always wary of making them too big and screws then not holding properly. Once mounted it is very solidly affixed although top of pole & Davis Vantage Vue does still shake a bit in gale force winds, affecting rain gauge in the process!
One piece of advice - make sure you have the correct sizes of spanners/ring spanners/socket set before starting to mount the pole. I had to go search out mine only to discover the 1/2" socket was missing from the socket set. A ring spanner sufficed once I got the screws aligned into their pilot holes but the socket set would have been far less effort.
All in all a worthwhile purchase and a sturdy piece of kit.

Peter C. Early days yet looks ok we will see

David Very stable pole makes setting up easy.
C
Chris perfect fit on the side of a shed to give and ideal spot for the sensors

Sabine R. Easy to install and to mount the Weather Station.

Colin I had to turn the mounting bracket around back to front to allow it to fix to my wall. Even though i fixed it so the station was above my roof edge, the bracket was not deep enough so the pole would go past my barge board. I also had to flatten the round pole slightly so that the mounting bracket clamp would grip properly on it.
The station pole does not fix securely to the mounting pole so i had to fix a tek screw through it to stop it spinning.
S
Stephen R. OK but a bit clunky and tricky to put up - I drilled holes in the post I was using. Would be a lot easier with two people. Could be a bit more rigid.
J
Jeff Hole in weather-station Oval, post is round.
Head scratching and workshop to make it fit - somehow.
A
Andrew S. Very good for holding the weather station in the place I required it to be. Easy assembly and fitting together perfectly. Made everything easy to install the weather station.
I
Ian S. Can’t say any better than it does what it’s supposed to do. Fitting straightforward and impressived with the various fittings provided. We’ve had gale force winds today courtesy of storm Betty and it looked stable with very little flexing.
I
Ian Does what it says!
R
Robert Could do with having 2 rubber bungs for each end for it to be excellent as the pole and clamp are of good quality.
M
Mary The fitting is good but my husband would like a longer pole. At the moment we have it attached to a thin tree trunk but it is difficult to ensure that the device is absolutely level.
M
Mark As described, probably be more useful if it was a little longer.
J
Julian This bracket was excellent and able to hold the weather station securely, just be aware that you will need a socket set for the attachment screws but this is a very good product.
P
Paul W. Exactly as described.
