I have a pole,can the feeder be put on the pole? The pole is about 1 inch in diameter and the feeder I have now slides down onto the pole

When I bought my feeder the Ace Hardware where I go it did not have the pole in stock. I went to the Homestead site on the internet and ordered the pole through them. My suggestion is to take the feeder and your pole to a hardware store, Lowe's, Home Depot, etc. and see if they have a cap that would fit so you can mount your feeder on the pole. I don't know where you as in big city or small but a machine shop might also be able to solve your problem. I hope that this helps.

I'm not sure about that. It turned out to be too large and heavy (when filled) to go on the hook on my fence. I wanted to put a net underneath it to catch the debris, but couldn't find a hook long enough to allow the feeder and net to hang out from the fence, so I ended up giving it away. I would only recommend it for haning from a tree branch or something. It's very heavy.

There is a place underneath in the center that fits a pole. Personally I thought that well wasn't deep enough to keep the feeder steady because of the weight of it when full of seed/nuts. It's supposed to work but I'm too cautious to try it on a pole.

Sorry, but that will not work. The tray is designed to fit on the bottom of a feeder hanging from a pole. Good luck.

I'm not sure what the question is. There is a small (about 1/2 inch) hole in the bottom, but I don't think it was ever meant to take a pole sturdy enough to hold that feeder up. The feeder is heavy. I hang mine from a tree, but a external metal rig with an arm that would allow it to hang certainly will work.

Mine is on such a pole, although I don't believe anything larger than an inch will work. The feeder certainly will stand on a pole, but you need a baffle below for squirrels.

Yes, the hole measures 1", however it doesn't have a stop to the hole it simply is a hole, so it looks like the pole would slide all the way to the top of the feeder.

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...

Hey - it will fit right on top of the pole - there's a hole/indentation in the bottom of the bird feeder and you just place it on top of the pole

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, the feeder has a space at the center of the bottom of it that extends inward about 1 1/4" with a diameter maybe 1/2" or so. I would assume that is exactly what it is made to do. I do not think bracket mounting would be a great idea, but might work if doesn't bend the metal base which screws onto the clear plastic. I just tried a metal rod for size while the feeder was totally full and there were no problems or damage. Keep in mind that the top must come off to add the seed, and after a few birds the feeder will be bottom heavy anyway(that's good for pole mounting). I hope this helps. later Hi, the feeder has a space at the center of the bottom of it that extends inward about 1 1/4" with a diameter maybe 1/2" or so.

There is a deep indentation in the bottom for it to fit on top of the standard size (about an inch wide) wood or aluminum pole. It only would rest on the pole as it is not secured by any bolts or screws. It is heavy when filled with seeds but can be lifted off to refill it through the cap in the center of the roof. You would need to put on a squirrel guard to protect it. I prefer to hang it from a pole with an arm as the weight of the feeder makes it more secure.

Yes, I have mine on a pole. You have to mount a plate on the bottom that don't come with it. I took the one off my old birdfeeder. You can buy the plates at most places that carry birdfeeders. I love my feeder:)

No it can't, it was to big to fit over our feeding hole even if the clamp was removable. Also, this feeder does not work well with flake fish food even if you brake up the larger flakes. You will inevitably miss a few big ones and that will prevent it from dispensing the right amount of food.

go to droll yankees own website to check. The plastic nut that screws this to the base of the feeder is 4 sided square however not so long.I would not trust it to secure to a pole.

The feeder is quite heavy when filled so the pole would need to be very strong and secure.

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.
