Can this birdfeeder be mounted on a metal pole?

There is no hole on the bottom -- so you would need a skilled carpenter to alter it for pole mounting.

Rather than mounting on a pole, I would hang it from a shepherd's hook...much easier!

Yes, a plate could be screwed to the bottom of the feeder, accessing from inside. It is a good feeder. Very happy with it.

This tray is intended to mount on the bottom of a Droll Feeder only, certainly not on a bird feeder pole. this tray includes a black plastic threaded bolt/screw that attaches it to a Droll Yankee feeder. There would be absolutely no way to support the tray on a pole.

It doesn't have a bracket for putting on a pole. It has a cord to hang it. In order to fill this feeder you have to take the metal screen off, so you might want to reconsider putting it on a pole. You have to turn the metal screening to unhook it from the locks and then pull up and off to expose the top of the plastic cylinder inside to fill. Then the screening goes back over the cylinder and locks again to hang from the cable that is attached to the metal screening. This is the best feeder and all my birds love it this is the second one I've purchased as Mr. Bear flattened the first one. They go to this feeder first then if it's full of birds they will go to one of the other feeders but they all prefer this feeder. I have mine hanging from my deck under the overhang. This feeder is made to last. The first one I had lasted 5 years and still was as good as new except for being flattened and the plastic seed holder smashed. I've had this one for quite awhile now and the birds love it just as much as the first one. You won't be disappointed if you purchase it. But like I said it's made for hanging.

We do not have ours mounted on a pole, we just hang ours from a shepherds hook. If you already have the feeder I suggest taking the mounting part which is loose inside the feeder to your local hardware store and see what they recommend.

Hi, Kathryn. There is a 1" hole in the bottom for a pole. The pole would extend through the bottom tray all the way up between the tubes to the top. The hole is not threaded. We hang it from a wire in a tree, but the pole would work fine, I'm sure, and with the pole extending to the top it would be fairly steady and secure. The people who said there's no way to attach a pole apparently did not turn the feeder upside down and actually look at it.

You would have to attach a pole mount to the house.The pole would have to be long enough so to position the house at the appropriate height for Bluebirds, or whatever type bird for which the house is intended.

Hi Gayle. Without doing some fancy bracket work on the bluebird house or drilling holes into the pole to screw the inside of the bluebird house to the pole the answer is no ~ not designed for that, but boy it would make life easy if it were! That would be a great suggestion to the manufacturer. Shari

The bottom of this feeder is a screen that can be removed easily for cleaning, but it makes it a little difficult for metal pole mounting. You could attach an "X" made out of wood or metal to allow you to attach to the feeder. We love our feeders (we have two of these) but I used wire to hang them from hooks attached to a 4X4. Makes it very easy to take down to clean.

It can be mounted, but it needs a very small baffle underneath it. If you can't find the info for that on Amazon, you can find it at the site: www.skycafe.com I can tell you I still have had no squirrels on my feeder, but have them on the ground, after having fed birds since 1975. It works just as well on a pole mount, but I live near lots of bears and can't use one.

Although we have use the poles for houses, I can't see why not. The extension hanger that fits on top of pole is far enough away, it shouldn't hit the pole and is high enough. I have many sized feeders and all of them would fit nicely.

I actually bought the feeder as a gift for my brother, and I don't believe he has mounted it yet. I also believe that he eventually intends to wire hang it, so I guess I can't be that much help. What I can tell you is that the feeder is very handsome, and appears to be well made (despite some comments I had read from other buyers who thought it was flimsy). As someone who has been feeding birds my whole life, I was struck by the unique architecture and one of a kind look of this feeder. Very different design and very pleasing to the eye. I personally think it would look just fine on a post mount, as long as you protect the feeder from squirrel attack!

After four years I still LOVE, LOVE this feeder! I kept the label - it says the "base is threaded which allows the feeder to be pole mounted." Hope this helps.

You can mount it on your porch but have a lot of patience. It takes a while for the small birds to figure it out.

I think this feeder is best to hang. If you was to put it on a pole i be-leave you would need a special mount. Not sure if there is one available for this type of mounting. What i found to work well was a hanging basket pole.

After reading the description of that feeder it doesn't say it can be used on a pole. Just describes it as a hanging feeder. The Step-in pole you showed is from a different company. So, I don't know if it would work.

We've had no problem with hanging a 10 pound birdfeeder but also believe we put in longer screws to be sure. We installed it on the outside of our deck railing and it reaches far enough out that bird seed does not fall on the deck. Also, this product has gone through different climates and has kept its appearance.

it can, but it won't be all that secure since it would be mounted to plastic. Better to mount it to wood or metal.
