Will this work on a hanging feeder. It would have to be able to attach to rope. I noticed one of the item pics showed it on top of a hanging feeder?

It has a hole that is about 1/2" in diameter. Out of the box it would only work with a rope that is about 3/4" thick.You can get it to work, if you wrap something around the rope, to fill in the "gap" where it is be fastened. I bought 3, and had to add "filler" to fasten them to Shepard hooks.

I think it would work best if the feeder was mounted on a pole and the baffle were placed under it. It still works great that way for me because the squirrels can't get beyond it to the feeder. It's wonderful.

It closes at the seam, which would be around the rope. You can't adjust the little opening at the top unless you'd crimp it, but it could sit loosely on top of a hanging feeder. I think. It would swing down as squirrels step on it which might make them fall off.

It probably would, but you would need a different type of bracket below the baffle to hold it above the feeder, or just tie a knot in the rope below the baffle. However, there are much cheaper plastic baffles available that would work when used above a feeder. Hope this helps. Regards, James

In my experience, ir the squirrels can come down from above, they can get around this baffle. It is designed to stop the squirrels from coming up from below. I don't know how your feeder is hanging but they are very good at dropping down. The squirrel proof feeders that are spring activated to close off the seed opening seem best in hanging situations where squirrels can drop down from above.

Yes, I currently am using 1 for a hanging feeder and 1 for a plow feeder. Hardware supplied for both applications.

It was designed to hang from a pole. Amazon has lots of bird feeder poles from which it will hang.

Hang it anywhere just add a chain or something similiar if you need to extend the length or can't fit the hook around the object you want to hang it on. I hung mine as is on a bird feeder pole.

It's hard to tell if it will work for you. We have ours attached to a fence and it works perfectly. You probably need a surface of an inch to an inch and a half to attach the hanging plate. You do need to stabilize the feeder a bit because the squirrels love the feeder and will hang around it and climb inside.

Yes you can. It comes with an S hook that fits into the center post when the top is all the way on. We hang it from a hook but you could easily put a chain between the S hook of the feeder and a hook somewhere else.

The pulley system has fairly tight tolerances. It's hard to say for sure but my best guess is it won't accept a larger diameter rope. The rope that came with this worked great and held a large deer off the ground if that helps.

Sorry, but I think it isn't ideal for mounting, it's made to hang (from a tree branch, hook, etc), but the company may have suggestions for you. Their customer service is excellent, and they offer a one year guarantee for their products. It's a great feeder, though.

It would have to hang from a hook that extends out from the pole 10 to 12 inches. The feeder comes with a ring attached to the top.

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.

My feeder is hanging from a shepherds hook that I put into a small PVC pipe that is just a bit smaller than the ring that came with the unit. I put the ring just about even with the bottom of where the feeder will hang, and screwed it tight. Then I slid the Torpedo down to rest on top of the attachment ring, and then put the shepherds hook into the PVC pipe. No squirrels or racoons have been able to get past this baffle. If you don't have the mounting ring that's suppose to be used, you can just get any metal screw clamp, and that will work just fine. The unit is suppose to swing free while resting on top of the clamp.

No, it comes without hardware for pole mounting, so you would need to get separate hardware and do that yourself. It definitely would work better on a pole, as I have it on a heavy duty shepherd's hook and it still, when filled, can bend it. This is a big bruiser of a bird feeder. It's well made, but it's not light. It has small openings to prevent critters from running rampant, but I agree with another writer who said to use with a baggle. Squirrels still can get their greedy paws in and scoop out seed.

There is a hook on both the top and the bottom. You attach the top hook to the place where you used to hang the feeder, then hang the feeder on the bottom hook. It lowers the feeder by about 3 inches. Works like a charm!

Yes, there is a vinyl coated wire that you attach and make a hanging cord out of it. You might need to use some needle nosed pliers so you can bend it into a little round hook at the top and also bend it to hook onto the feeder itself. It doesn't end up being very long once you make those little attach circles, maybe only 3-5" long.

I don't think that using a bungee cord would hold this feeder. It is very large and needs to be pole mounted. I believe that they make smaller ones that can be hung. This is the best built feeder that I have ever seen. Look for smaller ones by the same manufacturer.

No. You have to tip it to put it on a feeder hook. You could use an S hook to make it easier.

The NATORPEDO is designed to work on a birdpole - not sure how functional it would be for a bird feeder on a wire. I have other feeders with a dome over the top and that works pretty well. If you use the largest diameter dome with your feeder underneath, it will keep the seeds dry from bad weather (rain, snow, etc) keep out the Starlings (they don't like to go under it) ... and the squirrels don't seem to be able to hang on to reach under to grab the feeder. The dome I use is the 'Aspects 182 Super Dome.' It's 18" in diameter and works great!

You can put this on a pole if your pole has a bracket. This has a loop at the top of the wire, so you need something to hang this on. The bigger birds not at this feeder, some spillage but not as much as other feeders. Very good small bird feeder.
