Hello, I just wonder if it can hold heavy bird feeders (glass+metal). Is it solid enough?

Extremely stable and solid. It has a built-in auger and you screw it into the ground to depth of about 18 inches. As long as the spot you choose is solid, the hanger itself will hold up. I've had it in our sideyard for almost 2 years now without any problems - no adjustments, no tilting. It has hooks for up to 8 feeders (2 each on the 4 arms) but I've only used 3 of them (all 3 are heavy-duty glass and metal feeders). I would feel very comfortable using all 8 however!

It can hold 15lbs per side per hanger arm according to the enclosed instructions/guidelines. I have some pretty hefty recycled plastic feeders that hold 10lbs of seed and it has no problem with them at all.

Yes it can - this stand is amazingly sturdy. I bought a second one to hold large self-watering hanging flower baskets. They are so heavy that heavy gauge garden hooks bent under them.

I have two heavy and the rest are not so heavy, there are 8 hooks, I wouldnt put heavy on all!! And spacing them correctly helps too. I would also reccomend making sure you install as directed which involves augering down quite a ways!! Hope this helps, over all I love the pole, It definately keeps the squirrels off as promised!!

Possibly could be. Might be a little difficult because it has a cone shaped bottom. We have ours hung from a shepherds hook. It is a great bird feeder and is a good price.

Yes I think it would. The rim around is wide enough to hold pellets. I hang mine high enough so that the chickens don't scratch waste in it. It's sturdy and holds a lot of feed.

Might be a stretch. This is a well built feeder but I don't know it it is heavy duty enough for parrots or other birds that tend to chew. A good size bird may also have trouble reaching the seed. They definitely wouldn't fit on the perches. This feeder is best suited to house finches and other small birds.

For sure. It's pretty solid. I have a plate tree, but if you put your plates on the supports that come on this rack, it's even sturdier.

I wouldn't swing on it, but it's sturdy enough for the 3 feeders I have on mine.

It should do fine. I think it's rated for at least 20 lbs. It holds a moderate-sized birdcage in our house and shows no signs of fatigue.

I would think so. I'm using it outside as a plant stand and bird perch, but it's very sturdy and the legs are even.

I don't know. We have mixed bird seed in it. There is a bar that you set to a certain weight. Anything heavier than that weight will drop the bar and close the feeder.

If you're going to use it for bird feeders you will want to find something to place in the middle section where the hooks connect . I was sitting watching hatchelys eat and one fell into the opening. Thankfully I was home and saved it.

Ummmm, a 15 lb. wet hanging basket may be too much for this hanger --- My bird feeder with seed is only 5 or so pounds --- This hanger is a 2 piece and the pieces are hollow (as reflected in the price). Heavy winds or other inclement weather could cause a structural failure with too much weight on the hook.

I use it for a hummingbird feeder. I do not think it would hold much heavier because it is held to the wood with 3 screws (there are 4 holes, but I only got 3 screws)

If the feeder is wider than the window, the panes might make it hard to hook the feeder into the suction cups or keep it from hanging vertically. I don't think you want the feeder to be resting against the surrounds for the glass. (Also, if you read my review, this turned out to be a squirrel feeder for me.)

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 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.

Susan, the feeder probably weighs close to 2.5# . It is built to last. You and your birds will love it !!

No. I have a <10 lb feeder on this pole and had to put a "j-post" into the ground next to it For something as heavy as your bird house, you need a 4x4 timber set into concrete or something VERY sturdy.

I am not sure what kind of bird feeders you are planning to use, but I used my 'suction cup window hanger for birds' on my picture window last spring through fall, and it worked great! I will be using it again this year to hang my hummingbird feeders. With the three suction cups, it gives it more holding power. I highly recommend it.
