Can I mount this onto a pole? If so, does the metal make it difficult?

Hi. I don't really see how you could. I just use a shepherd's hook and that works well.

With a proper hook screwed onto the threaded end of the pole, the pole would work very well for your purpose. The pole is very rigid and strong, and it should be able to carry as much weight as your arms can hold without damage.

Yes, that's how i mounted mine on. Too lazy to build a new one using the metal post. I just want to deter casual thieves from tealing my mail. Hope this helps

It's just like a shirt hanger- slips right over the pole. You should be fine unless the pole is extra thick.

I'm not sure how you'd mount it on a pole. It has to hang. The top doesn't come off. It wouldn't be practical to mount it on a pole because you fill it by lowering the plastic seed holder and then pushing it back up into the cage after filling it with birdseed.

Nope. Sorry. No way to mount it. Plus, it's awfully thick for that....if that makes sense.

For now I have not mounted it. My son in law told me I would have to get a metal pole to mount it on and the metal pole would be mounted on the side of my house facing south. For now, I am bringing it in and out of my house. I have a long nail and I have been hanging it on that with string. It sounds amateurish but that is the best I can do for now until someone helps me mount it.

It is heavy when full, so the pole would have to be very sturdy. Mine hangs from a tree branch

Yes, you can. That's what I had to do. However, you will have to cut the pole down yourself and also drill some new holes.

I think it comes with different mounting brackets. I used mine on an old pole. I wish I could be more help, but I don't remember the brackets.

It is not designed to go on a pole, but if our handy, I don't know why it could not be modified by drilling some screws into the bottom or you could hang it from an shepherds hook off the top. I bought a hook from MacKenzie-Childs that looks incredible with this. I get many compliments.

One more thing, Elisa, I don't put mine on a pole. I hang it on a thick tree branch with some good strong cord or electrical wire.

I'm not sure how thick the metal is. There are a left and right side mounts. I hope this helps.

I am sure you could if you can get a pole with the same diameter. I removed the edge clamp and screwed the bracket directly to a workbench!

I don't see why not as long as you have a very strong branch, remember your weight or the weight of kids could break the branch, I prefer the metal curved pole with three wide set legs, you can move this around and place it where you want.

It does not come with hardware to pole mount. You would have to do that yourself. Keep in mind that this feeder is not lightweight but if you are crafty it would work...

It will not mount on a post un.ess you have some kind of hanging bracket that would screw o the post. It is designed with a metal hook on top that you hang from a tree or another hanger.
