How does this pole mount to, or in, ground??

I used a 2" PVC pipe cut 3' long. I dug a 3' hole and poured s bag of concrete around pipe. Now I can insert and remove the pole when needed.

The pole comes with a tube that should be installed in the ground in cement. The kit comes with instructions very easy to install.

The pole does not have a cable slot. The preferred method is to use plastic conduit underground, with a curve that comes out above ground and brings the electric cable up through the center of the pole to above the pole's top. I placed one in a 12" deep hole in the ground with a diameter of 12". On the second, I had an aluminum plate welded to the pole to bolt to a steel plate at the level of the driveway. That pole was shortened so the two poles are the same height above ground. The aluminum pole is heavy enough for aluminum welding.

If the pole is not permanently installed in the ground, one can remove to pole from the ground and slide to shield up the pole. You want to be sure that you mount the shield so that the bottom is at least 2 feet from the ground.

It'll be challenged. My pole eventually failed at the bottom, due to water exposure combined with the weight of a large feeder. I cut it down and reinstalled, and seems to be fine now. It also pulls the pole over in the dirt; it's like a constant Leaning Tower of Pisa.

Mine is clipped onto a tie out cable that is mounted in the ground. I'm not sure what you're asking here.

It has a bracket that could screw to any flat surface. The pole is most common but it could mount to any stable surface such as a wall stud or something equally solid.

I would not bury this directly in the ground, needs to be put into electrical PVC conduit. Or the wire will degrade if installed directly in the dirt,and stop working

I can tell you for certain that it can be mounted to a pole. I don't think it was made for mounting on a flat surface but someone who is willing to be creative might find a way to do so.

Mount it from a pole attached to the ceiling above rather than a pole mounted from the ground/base unit as seen in the picture. Just reverse the mounting from above...

You can mount it on or into the ground, but it won't stand without some support. I have mine mounted on the ground, but it is along side of my house, so I have an antenna mounting bracket from the house to the mast, about 10 feet above the ground. You may be able to sink the pipe about 18 inches or more, into the ground and it may work out if the antenna you are putting at the top is real small.

It is secured to ground by four ground anchors - one on each leg. It has been installed about three weeks ago and seems to be quite secure, I am pleased with the product

We did not anchor it to the ground . We drilled stainless screw into a wooden deck and then used attached straps to the outside loops and anchored them to give it wind stability.

That is correct, you need to put the foot in the mount in the up position and locate the position for the mount. That way you can have it so you can leave the foot on one or the other side when using it on level ground. Sometime one of the ladder rungs decides where you will put it.

I don't know about mounting it on a pole. I don't use mine any more because the squirrels were all over it and had the cover off and the seed all over the ground in nothing flat.

There is supposed to be a hole in the pole that you stick the pin into to give you torque when screwing the pole into sand. The picture of the item shows the pin through the hole. Ours has a hole directly under the plastic bracket about 5' up from the bottom

I didn't measure it, but it seems like the pole screws into the ground a good 15 to 18 inches. It's very sturdy. The cross bars that hold the feeders are probably about six feet off the ground. Maybe a little higher. I used this pole all last winter and never had squirrels get up the pole, or jump up onto the feeders. You need to make sure the pole is far enough from trees, or porches, or a deck so they can't jump from there onto your feeders. This pole is pricey, but I think it's worth the money.

Like a recent answer I also put my pole in the ground and tied it to the existing fence metal pole which is very sturdy and it works fine.LIZ Zeigler
