Can this feeder be post-mounted?

Yes. The bottom of the feeder has a threaded indentation where a pole could be screwed on.

The problem with post-mounting would be squirrels. They will climb up the post and start chewing the plastic parts to get to the seeds. I had mine hanging in a tree and they destroyed it! Now I have it on a birdfeeder pole with a squirrel deterrent. Hope this helps.

If you mean you want to attach it to a post on the botton of the feeder then I would say no. You fill it from the top but the bottom is completely removable for cleaning the feeder out. You could clean it from the top but the food gets moldy and stuck around that bottom piece.

Unless DY sells some short of post attachment I don't see how it can accept maybe attaching a seed tray to the bottom (which DY does sell) and then screwing the tray to the post. Hope this is helpful. Anne

Yes. It has a hook on top and a hook on bottom. Extremely simple to install with dual hooks. If your square feeder hangs straight down and does not extend over the dome, then it should work great. It could be any shape of feeder as long as it hangs down and is smaller in diameter than dome. It is not bulky and looks great. Good value. The Seller shipped in a timely manner and without damage. It looks exactly like the picture. I liked the dome because it was boutique and not overwhelming to take away from bird sightings. I also installed a tubular, cylindrical green baffle at the bottom of my feeder pole to discourage squirrels and chipmunks from eating bird feed. Everything works great. Hope this helps. Dennis

I mounted mine on a regular pole for bird feeders no problem -- hole on bottom of feeder slid right over the pole .

bottom of the feeder is a straight pole. You could anchor it in concrete or in the soil

No. Can be hung from crook pole, wire line etc. your own feeder attaches under the dome, dome hangs from above.

I've looked at the No/no Cardinal Feeder listing and it seems intended to hang but if you're going to place the feeder where there are no hanging options I think this pole would work. This pole has an attached mounting plate at its top intended for securing flat-bottomed feeders. Your question will be if the cardinal feeder is sturdy enough to be mounted. Remember, it's intended to be hung and may not be strong in its base.

Yes. This is an outstanding feeder!!! One of the very best I own! And, I have many feeders. Highly recommended.

By itself, no. With modification to a straight pole or the product itself, yes. The mesh sits in a groove around the perimeter of the feeder. You could always drill a hole in the center of the mesh into a wooden pole or metal if your drill can handle it.

The picture shows a mounting bracket because you can mount it. That is what I did. There is a removable screen in the feeder that allows for drainage. I have found that rain water does not collect in the feeder. The seed gets damp, but there is not a pool of water. The bottom of the wooden part of the feeder is not solid and the metal screen allows for drainage. I have been very pleased with my feeder. The construction of the feeder is very good.

It hangs easily with the included hanging device. My experience with using it either hanging or pole mounted is the necessity of a squirrel baffle to keep those pesky critters from figuring out how to empty the feeder. Good luck.

I believe it's post mount only. I do not see a way to hang it, although I'm sure you could drill a screw in to the top.

It can be "permanently" mounted with an included bolt and nut that runs through predrilled holes in the bottom of the grill and the top of the post. Be aware the post was not well made. It came in two pieces where one is screwed into the other but what is upsetting is that the "screw side" was very slightly angled so therefore the post was not straight. I could not use the post but luckly I had another that fit the bill. I was not about to get involved with returning a 40 pound grill because of the post but I would have had I not had another to take its place.

yes it can be mounted to 4 X 4 post but some modification first. get 2" X 8" pipe and mount feeder to it,then drill 2" hole in top of post and insert the pipe & feeder to it

I actually bought the feeder as a gift for my brother, and I don't believe he has mounted it yet. I also believe that he eventually intends to wire hang it, so I guess I can't be that much help. What I can tell you is that the feeder is very handsome, and appears to be well made (despite some comments I had read from other buyers who thought it was flimsy). As someone who has been feeding birds my whole life, I was struck by the unique architecture and one of a kind look of this feeder. Very different design and very pleasing to the eye. I personally think it would look just fine on a post mount, as long as you protect the feeder from squirrel attack!

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

It is basically a hanging type of feeder but if you are mechanically inclined, you could probably modify it to be pole mounted.

Yes. There is a bracket that mounts to the fence post or 4/4. Then the metal squirrel feeder slides down over the bracket to mount it for us.
