I quite like 15mm copper pipe. Squirrels find metal poles much harder to
climb (though not impossible).

The compression plumbing fittings are an exact match for the underside
of certain bird feeders - and much cheaper than the official poles.

Minor disadvantage is that the feeder doesn't wobble so much on a pole
from underneath so the more agile sparrows can also get peanuts out.
