Does the base of this feeder have anything that would allow pole mounting? Or at least sturdy metal that I could screw some type of bracket into?

I never thought of trying that. I don't know if this is sturdy enough to do what you have planned.

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

I am not sure. I was so disappointed that the seed flew a ll over I sent it back. I never thought of trying that, but with ingenuity I think you could figure something out.

I mounted mine on a pole but I had to drill my own holes in the base. It does not come prepared for pole mounting. It wasobviously intended for hanging only.

Hi,My feeder does not have a threaded spot for a pole. That said it does have a space that runs up the middle inside the feeder that could allow the metal pipe to hold the feeder in place on a pole.

The pole is 1" tubular steel, the mounting flange is 61/2" across. I have a large wooden feeder and doubted it would do the job, but it does. Squirrels do not get up the pole and I have a lot of them.Regards, Bill Mills WV

Unfortunately you can only mount this feeder on a pole. It is one of my favorite feeders though. Love the clean appearance of it which does not take away from the colourful birds.

Ours in hung from a metal pole about 1/2-3/4" diameter. The pole stand has that extra angled piece on the bottom that goes into the ground along with the regular pole; without that to help counterbalance a full feeder would likely bend the pole. We also hang a smaller, lighter feeder on opposite side.

Yes. Our pole is shaped like a T and the feeder hangs on one end. It is durable, attractive and the birds love it - especially cardinals.

Not that I can determine. Seems as if you would have to mount the entire feeder onto a platform that would be at the top of a pole which would require drilling screw holes in the bottom tray. Since the whole feeder is plastic, you will make the entire feeder more vulnerable. We strung fishing line around a tree branch (threw a tennis ball with the fishing line over the branch) and use the hook at the top of the feeder, plus an additional eye hook to hang the feeder two stories off the ground. Works splendidly. Good luck!

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.

This feeder can be pole mounted. The diameter of the hole is 1.25" and 2.75" deep.

No, only if you were able to hang it from a crosspiece for example. It has a substantial ring on the top to suspend it with no provision for attachment on the bottom. Spendy, but best feeder I ever owned.

Yes, the one I received was put together with staples and was coming apart at the bottom of feeder.I bought some wood screws at Lowe's and hired a neighbor man to reinforce it with nine screws and a drill.

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.

The feeder does not have a mounting bracket. The tray has a wooden slat across the middle that can be screwed thru for mounting. I made a stand using a 4x4 post and 2x4s for feet. I mounted the tray to the post using 2 2" wood screws.

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.

It would have to hang from a hook that extends out from the pole 10 to 12 inches. The feeder comes with a ring attached to the top.

Yes, there is a vinyl coated wire that you attach and make a hanging cord out of it. You might need to use some needle nosed pliers so you can bend it into a little round hook at the top and also bend it to hook onto the feeder itself. It doesn't end up being very long once you make those little attach circles, maybe only 3-5" long.

The diameter of the hole for pole mounting this feeder is 3/4 inches. The feeder is approximately 4 lbs, and holds 11 lbs of seed, so the pole used to hold this feeder would need to be strong enough to support this amount of weight.
