Can I fit a baffle on this pole? What is the diameter of the pole? &lt; 1.5 inches? Thx

I'm not sure about the diameter, but it can be baffled. I cut holes in a 2-liter soda bottle and put the main pole through it about three feet off the ground. Works great.

I have my feeder on a pole which is slightly less than 1" diameter. As M. Lloyd said, there isn't a stop so the pole does slide all the way up to the top of the feeder.

The pole is 1" & (3/8)" diameter or 35 mm. Sorry for the mistype the figure and causing you confused. It's difficult to type a fraction number.

I don't think a baffle would work with this. When I had a squirrel problem in a past house, I used a feeder that was pole mounted, and had a weight-activated perch. Something similar to the Heritage Farms Absolute II Squirrel Proof Bird Feeder that can be found here on Amazon. That kind of feeder worked great to keep squirrels from eating up all the bird food.

If you can slip it over the top of your pole, then do it and tighten the fastener. If there is some impediment at the top of your pole so baffle won't slide onto pole, you'll have to take pole out of ground.

Very easily. There is an attachment that uses 2 Philips head screws that you attach first at the height you want the baffle and then slide baffle over the top. Its the best baffle I've ever had. Has kept the raccoons and opossums out of my seed which has really helped my bank account!

Looks like it will fit up to a 2" pole. I have an insert in for my 1.5" pole.

The baffle is 12" across with a smooth finish. Mount it higher than the cats can jump and it should work fine.

I measured mine and appears that a 1 3/4 inch pole should fit, probably not a 2 inch

It will fit in a 2" hole with room to spare... I used a piece of pipe (2") and the inside will hold the pole. I used sand to "tighten up" the fit.

John, I have mine mounted on a 1" pole with plenty of room to spare. It will definitely fit on a 1&1/4" pole and it looks though it might be a real tight fit that it would work on a 1&1/2" pole as well.

The diameter of the pole is 2", the baffle's widest part on top is 8" and it narrows down to about 4" on the bottom. I don't see why the baffle wouldn't stop raccoons as they are climbers rather than squirrels (jumpers) The baffle would throw them off. But there are some really smart critters out there so I wouldn't 100% guarantee a raccoon couldn't figure out how to get above the baffle but I would think it would be difficult.

Oops sorry! That is the dimension across the pole, not the diameter. Diameter is 4 3/4 in. Just measured :)

You did not say what material the square rod is made of. If it is metal I am not sure it would work but if it was wood you could make it work by making the pole round only in the area to which the baffle would be fitted on the pole. Remember of course that the pole size must not be larger than prox 1 & 1/4th inch or smaller than prox 1/2 inch. Those dimensions must be adhered to simply because the baffle slides on to the pole with those dimensions involved in the small opening at the top of the unit.

I'm using it with a 1.25" diameter pole, which is slightly too narrow. I think your 1.49" diameter pole would fit just fine.

Once you purchase and install a baffle, you will see it is "free flooding" on the pole. In my opinion, squirrels will continue trying to "beat the system" on a smaller 14". An 18" keeps them from trying to beat the baffle. Squirrels are wily little creatures and still go up the pole just to look and see if there is a way around. It is funny to watch and we love this baffle!

Opening for a pole is 1.5", so it should fit very snuggly. Outside diameter is 2.5". I think it should work perfectly.
