I have the same problem like you .I am going to be crazy soon if I do not do something about this.Every single day ,I look at my fruit 🍎 trees so angry 😡,wasting fruits on the ground because of them .Thanks for sharing,I will do same thing what you did .
The ratchet tie down is great. I'm in the process of doing something similar. Great job!!! and stopping up the openings at the bottom of the baffle with hardware cloth... super... They will try to gnaw away the bark to get under the baffle. Painting black is important. That gets hot under the baffle. Did it work over time?
Nice that this way the trunk of the tree is not directly in contact with aluminum. I heard they don’t like white color so I think better leave it as is and not paint it.
Squirrels - argh! Eating all the bird food and suet, destroying the tube feeders... all I can say is... Hilarious! They didn't even try to climb the tree! That's why they're such a menace - because they're so smart. Great job - I wish I was handier.
Yeah, but I heard that u cant keep the flashing on the tree. Not having it touch the truck, w/ air getting between it allows the flashing to stay on. He has one, I have a whole clan. I've seen other vid about flashing this seems the best. Painting it is probably for curb appeal plus glare bouncing off in drivers faces.

I need it so my cat won’t escape my back yard,over fence. But same gist, hope it works for that Catini I got. Escape artist.

Alright 👍
It given respect tree growing
Did you have to use a primer for the aluminum ? Or just go with a matte paint ?
Hey dude! Is it still working?? I'm at war here with them. " squirrels are evil and should never be trusted "
I agree…
Did the squirrels start to climb that stop sign and jump over?
I tried this with my pecan trees they just stood on the bottom of the tree and shot right past the aluminum.
I wrapped two aluminum HVac tubes around mine
Just the tin on the tree works. Wasted lots of time twice
