can the house be mounted on the side of a house or on a pole? do owls need trees for cover?

I am not sure. We put it up in a tree. It has to be fairly high up. There are detailed directions included with the owl house.I think it only took a couple of weeks before an owl moved in!

Best results is that it is mounted somewhere there is Sun and clear enough where the owls can easily fly in and out. Can be mounted on anything, I did a tree. I would suggest somewhere that meets above and is in good viewing range.

The Owl house should face do east and be mounted 10' feet to 40' feet high with a branch just below to aid the baby owls when they are learning to fly. I do not know about mounting it on a house or pole but, it could work. If not, you can always relocate it.

Hi we live in Portland Tx, Spring and Summer can be very windy here, 3 corners are anchored to the house and one on Post cemented and then anchor to a tree otherwise the post will bend, hardware used ( steel cable, turnbuckles, anchor mounts) bought at lowes... Haven"t had any issues so far, great shade cover.

I would say no. The bird house is all plastic the telescoping pole makes the house stronger and hold together better.

I'm gonna say no. I think you would need a thicker (bigger round) pole. My daughter-in-law has a very small birdhouse on it and it's fine, but it's very flimsy.

There are recommendations on line. I google barn owl house installation and got great info.

Yes. You can mount on west side roof. My house has roof on both south on west but still I mounted on west side because west side works even better for attics because fan runs till late afternoon when attic is the hottest. If you face south it will work more effectively during noon and early afternoon but will not be so effective the late afternoon/early evening when sun is to the west side. Your attic is not extremely hot until noon or later so why waste solar energy during that time.

no pole. make sure when ordering that the pole is round and fits the pipe on the house.. One shown is rectangle and is not made for the birdhouse

We built an extension to this house and we have ours outdoors ! You could put it on small stilts and attach a tray which would work

You would have to fix a device/platform to place over the top pole...maybe with a slightly larger short pole to slide over the top of the main pole with a platform and attached birdhouse.

You can attach the bird house to a post, possible using brackets. The bottom is flat. You may try gluing on a block of wood underneath, with a hole drilled to fit your post.

Yes, I have mine on a pole. You have to mount a plate on the bottom that don't come with it. I took the one off my old birdfeeder. You can buy the plates at most places that carry birdfeeders. I love my feeder:)

It has hole in base for mounting on pole, plus directions. I mounted on fence post with single lad screw. Could do same on wall, but not sure bluebirds like houses mounted on walls??

Mine is on an arm attached to side of house, but would think you could attach arm to pole and that should work.

We attached the bat houses to the south side of the tree using 2 flat metal braces. We placed one at the top and one at the bottom of each house. This gives them more stability.

I don't know what time of year to install the nesting box. I do know that it could take up to a year or two for owls to take residence. I suggest that you contact the seller, who answered questions that I had. I highly recommend the seller

I don't know about mounting it on a pole. I don't use mine any more because the squirrels were all over it and had the cover off and the seed all over the ground in nothing flat.

There is a metal loop (ring) on top that could be used to hang and there is also a hole (~2" round) in the back of the house -bottom center that you can look through from the front door where you could flip the hinged disc up and attach by hanging on a certain kind of hook. That being said, I'm not very familiar with bird houses so not sure what the intent of the hinged covered hole is meant for on the back. Hope that helps and apologies for not being able to give a simple yes or no answer.
