SeedHoop Product Specifications
The 30”, 24" or 16" diameter base is made of lightweight exterior grade vinyl-coated fiberglass mesh which catches spilled seed but allows water to drain and seeds to dry. The SeedHoop frame is made of lightweight tempered steel wire that provides flexibility so that it can be twist folded and collapsed to fit into a bag about 1/3 its expanded size. The 1/2” sleeve is made of exterior grade polyester, as is the storage bag. Heavy nylon straps sewn to the outer circumference, attach corrosion resistant D-rings to the hoop. The attaching hooks are also made of corrosion resistant metal. The round button cord snap and small connecting hooks are made of plastic. Cords are nylon.
Instructions
Attaching The SeedHoop to Hanging Bird Feeders:
- Lay the SeedHoop on the ground or other flat surface.
- Place your bird feeder in the center of the SeedHoop.
- Attach the snap hooks to the D rings on the SeedHoop.
- Adjust each cord by squeezing the button and pulling the cord through to the desired length.
- Hook the metal hooks over the rim of your bird feeder, distributing them as evenly as possible.
Note: The optimum distance the SeedHoop should hang below your feeder is about 6” -- If it exceeds 6”, more seed will be lost; less than 6”, birds will not be able to feed as easily under the feeder.
Attaching The SeedHoop To Pole Feeders:
- Remove your bird feeder from the pole.
- In the center of the SeedHoop, cut a small X (just smaller than the diameter of the pole).
- Gently push the SeedHoop over the top of the pole (if needed, enlarge the X just enough to allow the SeedHoop to fit snugly over the pole).
- Reposition the bird feeder on the pole.
- Attach the snap hooks to the D rings on the SeedHoop.
- Adjust each cord by squeezing the button and pulling the cord through to the desired length.
- Hook the metal hooks over the rim of your bird feeder, distributing them as evenly as possible.
Storing The SeedHoop: Unhook the SeedHoop from the bird feeder; remove the snap hooks from the D rings and store the cords in the bag provided. Twist the SeedHoop in thirds and insert into the storage bag. Put the cord bag in the storage bag.

Read what people are saying about The SeedHoop...
"Before using the SeedHoop, my husband was about to ban bird feeders from our yard because of the mess. No more! The SeedHoop catches almost all of the spilled seed! Birds use the hoop as a platform feeder so the seed is not wasted and we love the unobstructed view watching the birds feed. We are spending far less on birdseed too." Ann, Utah
"I like the versatility of the SeedHoop and find it to be an ideal accessory! It fits all feeders, catches seed, and performs as a platform feeder too! It holds up and performs well.” Bill, Alabama
"I think the SeedHoop is a really good idea! Mine keeps the ground feeders up off the ground and away from the neighborhood cats. Less seed is lost, especially in the winter when spilled seed is otherwise buried in the snow on the ground. I have it on my pole feeder and it has held up well against wind." Debbie, Nebraska
"I have been very happy with the SeedHoop used in our yard. It has more than doubled our pleasure in bird watching. Birds are social creatures and the seed hoop provides a platform for many birds to gather at the same time. When one bird comes to the hoop and is safely eating, others quickly fly in and join in the feast. In addition to the pleasure of watching the many that congregate, knowing the seed is being better utilized is further appreciated. The hoop makes for less waste and less mess at the same time as bringing in more birds. Thanks for a good product!" Elwood, Maryland
SAVES MESS AND MONEY
“The SeedHoop made feeding birds nice! Before, the seed would get on the ground. Then it built up and when it got wet, it started to rot and smell. It’s more cost-effective too, because the birds are eating the seed that normally would have gotten dumped on the ground. It gives the ground-feeding birds a place where they can be safe. It’s fabulous, especially for someone who doesn’t want to see hard-earned money dumped on the ground.” Shane, California
