what is the diameter of the pole? can you put a squirrel baffle on it?

The diameter of the pole is 1 inch according to my measurement. I don't know about anything about squirrel baffles, so I can't answer that part, sorry.

Yes, I was able to put a baffle in the pole. I estimate the pole to be 1-1.5" in diameter.

I depends on the size of your pole. The one that comes with the feeder is about an inch in diameter and the receptacle on the feeder fits that pole.

No. In addition, you will also need a baffle like the Stokes Select 38046 15-Inch Squirrel Baffle

I was able to put my baffle from my previous pole on it. Works like a charm. The pole is a little flimsy though. I was disappointed by that. The weight of the feeders makes it list to one side.

Hi, Gary. When the baffle is closed, the opening at the top measures 1.5 inches. The support (which clamps to the pole and holds the baffle up) is not big enough to fit securely on a 2" pole. You might check with the manufacturer to see if they offer a different sized baffle set up. I hope this helps.

Mountable on pole with screw. I added a 3/4 dowel to my bird feeder and then mounted the dome atop this dowel to thwart pesky squirrels from leaping from nearby branches into the feeder. It has worked so far, but the clever squirrels will probably figure out a way around the devise. :)

Nothing is squirrel proof, but I have hung my feeder off a hook away from a bush where they will try to jump off and with a baffle 5 ft up so they can't run up the pole. I read where squirrels can jump 5 ft up and 10 ft out , so you have to make it squirrel proof where they can't jump to it. I have fun watching the squirrels trying to figure how to get to my feeder. But none have. As long as I don't get flying squirrels. LOL

We don't ever see raccoons in our yard but I am told it should keep them away too. I have not had one squirrel climb the pole. The top of the baffle is probably 4 1/2 - 5 inches at the top, my husband says, and around 3 inches at the bottom.

One inch outside, yes, but getting it on and off will be difficult unless you put some kind of stop, collar, thrubolt, so only about 5 or 6 inches of pole goes into feeder.

Yes it will-the pole I used is round also-best baffler for keeping critters off-

As others have said, it depends on the pole. As long as one end of the pole or the other is straight, it will work. I used a straight pole which I drove into the ground and then slid the baffle on from the top.

Will work if feeder can accept 4 screws or bolts through bottom to attach to plate at top if pole. We use an Audubon Torpedo baffle on the pole itself to keep squirrels from climbing the pole. It works.

The diameter is 3/4 of an inch. The pole is hollow. If you have no visitors to your feeding station other than birds the pole does not require reinforcement. However, if you have squirrels and in particular raccoons you will probably need to reinforce the pole. I have used wood wedges and they have worked but...I have also resorted to taking in the feeders at night. I have LOTS of heavy-weight visitors to the feeding station.

The pole is also 3/4 inch diameter and I believe the feeder usually comes with a pole connector to attach the feeder to a pole for mounting. I hope this helps!

Yes, unless you're willing to pull the pole out of the ground and slide the baffle up from the bottom. I'm assuming that there's a twist in the pole, but the holding bracket might work if the tolerances are right.

It would depend on what these are fastened to. If fastened to something that would keep it perpendicular to the clothes line then it just might work. The only issue is that squirrels may be able to jump over the baffle if horizontal. Good luck.

I did add a baffle to mine and it's worked well. So far I've been able to outsmart the little beasts!! The pole seems to be about one inch in diameter.
