gardenglory - Thanks! I was thinking about how easily the squirrels jump from place to place. I also get raccoons. So I am looking at a couple of options. Not sure yet what I want to do. I have a post (for a climbing vine that I will be moving to a large container pot) that is in the perfect location. I am considering adding a baffle to the 4" X 4" post. I found one that will fit a post, but it is also expensive. (Though not quite as expensive as the APS system. My main concern is high winds (in case of a hurricane), The post is in the ground in concrete. Which might be a better option for me.

How high off the ground is the best for height for feeders?

My post is only about 6 ft. high. (See photo.)
