We suspend our feeders from a clothesline-like arrangement, but we use 
small diameter stainless-steel wire rope. Maybe because it's so small 
(about 1/8" dia) or because it's very slippery, we've never had a 
raccoon climb out on it. And, the squirrels can't bite through it. It's 
been up there for over thirty years now.

Now if someone could suggest a way to keep the #*@@! starlings off the 
peanut cylinder...
