Hausse 10 Pack Reflective Pinwheels with Stakes, Extra Sparkly Pinwheel for Garden Decor, Bird Devices Deterrent to Scare Birds Away from Yard Patio Farm

Assembly in the beginning was a little difficult. After assembling 2 it became easy. You should have something to lean when assembling To place the final peg that holds the top together I used a small amount of dish liquid to lubricate the peg. 20 were placed in my Garden. They keep the birds away and tolerate the wind and rain. Enjoy watching the wands move.

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 set2. 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.

Overall a solid product at a reasonable price but after assembly some of the units do not spin as the shaft piece binds up thus making spin motions difficult.

Items have to be assembled and assembly instructions are not clear. Went to dollar store and purchased assembled ones for less.

These pinwheels are really pretty. They turn fine with the wind and are not hard to put together once you get the hang of it. I didn't even realize there was a little flower to put in the center until they fell out of the box after I was done assembling them, so definitely pay attention to that. They were stuck inside the box. I didn't need the video and figured it out on my own pretty quickly. Once I got the first one done the others were a breeze (pun intended!).

I’ve put them on my chicken run and so far no birds or flys in my run

I didn't realize I would have to assemble them, but thankfully it wasn't too difficult. The instructions given are incorrect, though. It says to put (E), the plastic stopper, on before folding the blades inward and putting (F) on. You have to put (E) on AFTER folding the blades and putting (F) on. Not a huge deal, I was able to figure out what was wrong, but just in case someone is struggling, I thought I'd mention it. :)The quality seems good and they're pretty. Good value.

Has difficulty spinning after blowing on it.
