Hausse 10 Pack Reflective Pinwheels with Stakes (Assembly Required), Extra Sparkly Pin Wheel for Garden Decor, Bird Repellent Devices Deterrent to Scare Birds Away from Yard Patio Farm

I love the numerators variety of birds that we feed daily but the goldfinch love my Swiss chard which I grow in my container garden. I’ve shared y crop for two years but this year they were really doing a number on my ability to grow as much as I needed. These pinwheels were not installed until the season was more than half over and they make a great difference. I did have to attach them to taller bamboo stakes to suit the exact height I needed. Assemblage is required but once I figured it out, there was no problem. I will purchase again if necessary and I highly recommend them if your trying to discourage birds.

I had purchased these pinwheels some time ago to ward off ducks in my swimming pool. (1) The assembly instructions are pathetic, but my mechanical genius served me well. Much to my total DISMAY and total disappointment, I placed these pinwheels in the ground today during quite breezy weather totally sufficient to make them twirl. ONLY ONE of the ten pinwheels turned and with some effort I might add - what a TOTAL waste of my valuable time to assemble all of these pinwheels! Save yourself the aggravation and purchase these from ANOTHER vender who hopefully has a much better and FUNCTIONAL product.

Birds are building nests in very inconvenient locations very close to my house so I wanted a humane and pretty way to keep them at bay. I will say, the included instructions are not helpful. The installation video was helpful for a moment but not when I couldn’t figure out why my pinwheels didn’t spin. The video is also way too fast paced. It took me an hour to put them together (because of troubleshooting…and taking them apart and putting them back together again, four times before figuring out how to actually put them together AND have them spin). But, hopefully my instructions will help those of you who are struggling to put such a simple-looking item together. I really never thought I would have to post instructions for putting a pinwheel together but here it goes. Photos should correlate with each step. 1. Lay out one full pinwheel set 2. Start by inserting a section of pinwheel flap over the small hollow connector. The very important key here is to make sure the SLIM end is facing the OUTSIDE. the WIDE end should be facing the INSIDE. 3. Continue layering each pinwheel flap on top of the previous flap over the SLIM side. 4. You have completed the difficult part. Pat yourself on the back. 5. Put the decorative circular cover over top of the SLIM side to cover the pinwheel flap layers. I chose the silver color but it is reversible with a star on the other side. 6. Insert the white arm through the back of the pinwheel and into the WIDE part of the connector. 7. It will be difficult to push the arm into the wide connector but continue pushing until you hear a CLICK. Yes, it will click. If it has not clicked, it has not been secured properly and will not spin. 8. You are done! Reward yourself for your patience. I could only make 9 pinwheels because I was missing one connector. I was able to tape the pinwheel sections together and get by without the connector. It still spins, but not as well as the ones with connectors. I will say that the durability seems pretty good as I had to take them apart multiple times and put them back together to fix my mistakes. Nothing ripped which was impressive. If you do not mind spending a little bit of time to put them together, I would say buy them. If you have arthritis in your hands or difficulty using fine motor skills, just buy them at the dollar store instead. I really only bought these for the patriotic pattern.

They work perfectly and spin freely and nice when you put them together properly. I read a couple people saying they don't spin. Ya when you put it past the end piece spindle and try to put on the other shaft. And NO, the holes are not too small as some state. You do not put the small holes past the end spindle as the shaft is bigger and of course when you do that the pinwheel will not spin. Make sense? Instruction explains it clearly. Amazing how many people are either lazy or just not capable of doing simple tasks. In other words, when you put the end piece spindle in place, that is where you put the folded pinwheel flaps on that piece alone not past it. Again, they work perfectly.

I can't believe that I am writing a review of pinwheels, but there goes- These pinwheels are exactly as described. You "punch them out" and then fold them before pressing them onto their axles. Very simple, although at first it takes a little thinking to get the procedure correct. The only problem, and this could be an issue for some folks. is that the pinwheel can be tight on the axle and not want to spin easily enough. Not all pinwheels will be tight, but some might be. As an example, we use these to scare animals out of the garden. The sparkly flashed do the job. About half of the pinwheels turn in a light breeze, the other half remain still in a 40 mph gust. A hurricane might do the trick.

Simple and inexpensive way to help detract critters from the garden and they look good when spinning

Center hole is too large for the item to last very long. Do not recu

No more woodpeckers, they must scare the little peckers.

Put a few of these amongst newly planted seedlings & they seem to be working at keeping the birds away from them.

Buen producto, resistente y me apoyo didácticamente a que mi hija menor los armara, ahuyentamos a las aves que se venía a comer la comida de mi perro y defecaban en ella, gracias.

Doesn't work...waste of money.

No son tan resistentes en viento los desbarató

No pude asemblar los. Las direcciones son horible. Me dan reembolso.
