Dumb question, but does this feeder hang from a tree or is a pole necessary?

It could hang from a tree just fine. I have it hanging from a hook on our gazebo. It does need to be level, though.

I hang ours on a long hook from the eaves so I can see it through our patio door

Hang it anywhere just add a chain or something similiar if you need to extend the length or can't fit the hook around the object you want to hang it on. I hung mine as is on a bird feeder pole.

I have mine on a shepherds crook because I have limited trees but I am sure this would hang fine from a tree

It can hang right from the hook just hook it to a branch or a chain could also be added if the branch is too high! Enjoy your feeder it really brings the Orioles & other birds who like a sugar diet!

I have it hooked to a wire that's hanging from a tree branch and have also used the metal S type hooks for branches too.

We had it on our patio hanging from a hook. You could hang it from a tree which the birds might prefer. We used grape jelly in the little divits you can see on top, so we needed it flat. Hope that helps.

I hang mine from a tree....but it can also be hung by a pole. Either will work!

You can put this on a pole if your pole has a bracket. This has a loop at the top of the wire, so you need something to hang this on. The bigger birds not at this feeder, some spillage but not as much as other feeders. Very good small bird feeder.

You may need a little collar on the pole to keep the feeder from going more than a few inches onto the pole. Otherwise it would be hard to remove for filling.

Most poles need to be stuck into the ground, to hang a feeder on a deck the deck arm or deck hook will do the job. It fastens onto the deck and is out stretched to hold a feeder.

I have mine hanging on a bird feeder pole with a suet pellet feeder on the hook opposite it. I also have the pole surrounded with a 5 foot 3" white PVC pipe so the squirrels can't climb it. It works great!

Not to my knowledge. It's filled from the top, so much easier for me to have it hanging from my multi- hangar feeder pole.

No you can not put on pole ,it just hangs .These are very good feeders some of the best I have had but if not hung they will fold down .

The picture shows the hook from which it can be hung. There is a hole on the bottom that is designed to slip over a post. Without seeing your railing, it is hard to know how you might mount it, but if it is a wooden railing and you don't mind drilling into it, you could mount the feeder on a dowel round inserted into a hole in the railing.

No, it comes without hardware for pole mounting, so you would need to get separate hardware and do that yourself. It definitely would work better on a pole, as I have it on a heavy duty shepherd's hook and it still, when filled, can bend it. This is a big bruiser of a bird feeder. It's well made, but it's not light. It has small openings to prevent critters from running rampant, but I agree with another writer who said to use with a baggle. Squirrels still can get their greedy paws in and scoop out seed.

No, it does not but if you don't have a problem with using it as a pole feeder, I highly recommend this feeder. It is extremely well made and one of the best quality feeders I have ever purchased.

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.

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...

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.

The feeder comes with the mount. It screws on to the bottom of the feeder. You just need the pole. I bought the perky-pet one. Works great so far.

You can try this method. It might be wiser to attach the feeder from the base to the pole with a base plate. The bird food will add weight to the feeder and an animal can make it unstable and tip.

Hi, Kathryn. There is a 1" hole in the bottom for a pole. The pole would extend through the bottom tray all the way up between the tubes to the top. The hole is not threaded. We hang it from a wire in a tree, but the pole would work fine, I'm sure, and with the pole extending to the top it would be fairly steady and secure. The people who said there's no way to attach a pole apparently did not turn the feeder upside down and actually look at it.

Needs to hang. I don't see any provision on the bottom for it to be pole mounted.
