can this feeder be mounted on a pole from underneath (not hanging on one from above) I'm replacing one which slides down over end of a pole from above

Hi there Ecalhoun, Yes, there is a 1 inch hole in diameter. Also, the hole is 1 3/4 inch deep. I'd say it's suitable for a pole. You might be aware that this feeder is big and when filled with bird seeds it can be a little heavy. So in selecting a pole you may want to pick a pole with muscle, like steel. And squirrels can't climb steel! GOOD LUCK!!!

Yes. 1" dia. pole slides thru hole in the base, between the feeding tubes, to a fitted sleve under the seed filling top. Approx. 18 1/2-19" from base of feeder to where pole stops.

Yes, and the earlier comments on size are accurate. Yes, it's heavy when fully loaded + 1 fat squirrel!

I suppose you can in an indirect way. I don't think there's an attachment on the bottom to do it, but if you rig a pole so that the bird feeder would hang from it, that should work. I have a suet feeder as well that hangs from an iron pole that I got at Big Lots. That pole I think was designed to hang plants, but there's no reason you couldn't use it for this bird feeder.

It probably would, but you would need a different type of bracket below the baffle to hold it above the feeder, or just tie a knot in the rope below the baffle. However, there are much cheaper plastic baffles available that would work when used above a feeder. Hope this helps. Regards, James

The manufacturer does not recommend hanging this feeder. Thank you for your interest. Jack's Country Store

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

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.

Probably, if you mount it to your house or another structure that they cannot climb up to the base of the pole. Mine is mounted to my deck, so the animals have easy access to it. Luckily, one the squirrels get to the feeder, they can't get a good grip on it and they fall off.

It can be mounted on a pole with a hook on the top to hang it from. It is a wonderful bird feeder which withstood a bear batting it around...and, while squirrels get on it, they can't get much because they can't get into the wire mesh.

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.

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 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.

No. You have to tip it to put it on a feeder hook. You could use an S hook to make it easier.

That - hmmm - I don't see how. The mechanism that controls the opening and closing of the feeding slots - means that the thing needs to hang, and the outer grid moves up and down. I can't see how it could be mounted on a pole. I would recommend emailing the company with their suggestions.

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.

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.

Yes it does, and that is the best way to mount. I hung the feeder and it broke after two months due to cheap plastic construction. I had an opus feeder for 15+ years I was replacing.
