What hooks/I would like to hang them from a double shepherd's hook, but I'm having trouble finding one I think will be strong enough.

Both ERVA(http://www.naturehouseinc.com/) and Droll Yankees make excellent shepard's hooks for hanging feeders. When full of seed, this feeder does get quite heavy. I will fill the dome about 1/2 full to keep the weight down.

I have used both a single and double shepherd's hook made of 1/2" steel rod. A firm base is needed to hold the full feeder.

I just checked mine and it does have an opening in the tip of the handle to use a hook. I just don't know how secure it would hang. I guess depending on the type of hook you use.

You may hang this from a shepards hook without additional hardware. HOWEVER ! you should be aware that this product is not strong and if you use a shepherd hook and have squirrels or even worst, raccoons they will very rapidly learn to swing the item and drop it to the ground, mine was unrepairable after the 3rd drop. If this is not an issue, it should work ok. The hanging wire is strong and the loop is sufficient.

I would call the company, they are readily available by phone. Go to the WEB for their number. Also, I did tie each corner down with the supplied hooks and that made all the difference in its stabilty. We love ours!

My dome doesn't have hooks either and it's been impossible for me to find them. What I did was order a lamp clamp (i think the company was called the bean farm or something) and then used the hole in the clamp to go on the hook, and clamped the black grip pieces towards the back of the stand. I wish I could show you a picture for better reference

John, I was thinking that also. But, Carol I'm not home, but when I get there I could measure the width of the hooks. My first instinct is they probably won't. I'll get back with you.

I used command hooks that have the metal movable hook that I bought at target and these worked perfectly for holding the weight without damaging my ceilling. Hope this helps!!

if it is a little stretched and you prefer it is not i would just suggest buying two big s-hooks and maybe two chains from your local home improvement store or amazon. you could even ask what your local home improvement store employees would suggest. :] hope that helps.

The hook doesn't come off... if you're creative you could mount a small piece of wood to hang it off the wall.

It probably doesn't matter. As long as it will fit the pole you want to attach it too. Mine are about 3-1/2 feet off the ground on shepherds hooks.Recently a squirrel has managed to leap straight up from the ground to grab onto the bottom of my bird feeder and defeat the anti-squirrel ring altogether. I've seen him do this several times. I've looked for taller shepherds hooks, but no one appears to make anything taller.

I use these hooks to hang all my art of which I have a lot. The hooks are available in different sizes that correspond to the amount of pounds it will support (10, 20, 30, 50, & 100) Make sure you select the right hook that will support the weight of the piece of art. When in doubt, use the larger hook or two hooks 6 to 10 inches apart. If it is a really heavy piece such as a mirror then find a stud or use some kind of anchor bolts. The sales people at Home Depot can help you with that.

Good morning, Debra. You may use other hardware than a nail to hang the item. Please check with your local hardware store for further information. Thank you, Sarah | HearthSong Customer Service

Go to the hardware store and look for a swivel hanger among the hooks and caribiners... not sure what they're technically called. Or a towing hook would work. You just want to make sure the hook is rated for over 100 pounds... the heavier duty the better as the users will be swinging and twisting on it.

If you use a Shepherds hook don't get the one with three hooks. Only get the one that have one or two hooks and the two hook one need to be acroos from one another. The reason being that squirrels can sit on the lower hooks and reach or at least knock more seed out.

Yes it is possible to hang two keys in the same hook. It might not look as neat and orderly but you can do it.

I don't hang mine up but if nothing else, you could tie a piece of rope around the handle and use that as the hanger. Do you have the handles loose enough to move them? Sorry I can't help more.

I ended up sending mine back because it didn't work in the space I was going to use them. I think using little tack nails would work and hang them by the little circles in the back.
