This slides down over the pole according to one answer so it can not be used on a Shepards Hook pole. Is that correct?

Yes, unless you're willing to pull the pole out of the ground and slide the baffle up from the bottom. I'm assuming that there's a twist in the pole, but the holding bracket might work if the tolerances are right.

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.

I think it could be possible but not really sure. I don't know if you could put more than one weight bag on it around pole. It does have a long Velcro strap maybe you can somehow lay them on top or something. Good luck

I'm not sure about that. It turned out to be too large and heavy (when filled) to go on the hook on my fence. I wanted to put a net underneath it to catch the debris, but couldn't find a hook long enough to allow the feeder and net to hang out from the fence, so I ended up giving it away. I would only recommend it for haning from a tree branch or something. It's very heavy.

It's adjustable. I think it will fit on almost any size pole. Works like a charm, by the way.

The pole itself is in two pieces and the top has four hooks that attach to the pole. The entire Shepherd's Hook is very durable...I have not had issues with it falling over as put the pole quite deep into the ground...just used dirt (no cement or anything else to hold it in place) and it has weathered all types of rain and wind storms beautifully. You will definitely enjoy it!

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.

Mine is on a shepard's hook, but the hanger is a couple of inches wide. It has gotten really cold out or I would go measure it.

Yes. It slips easily between the poles and circular frame. Our poles are on outside of frame.

I thought I would have a problem with that, but because it extends so far out, I haven't had a coon pull it over even once. They probably avoid mine because if they make a mistake and slip, they would have a 12 foot drop to the ground. My other hook was too short and it was easy to pull or push it. The longer hook works for me.

There are loops on each end of the net that slide over the poles. Maybe you could try to tie those loops to the net itself, then slide that over the pole. It might work...

We mounted ours on the old satellite mount, which is a little bit bigger than a rake handle. The bolts and screws that you use to mount it are also adjustable so you could likely get away with a bigger or smaller pole, no problem.

If you can slip it over the top of your pole, then do it and tighten the fastener. If there is some impediment at the top of your pole so baffle won't slide onto pole, you'll have to take pole out of ground.

Based on what I know about it, I don't believe it's designed to fit on a 4x4" pole right out of the box. That's not to say that you couldn't modify it (or your pole) to make it work. All that I know for sure is that I mounted it on a Goalrilla 5x5" pole, and I really like it.

Hi Serene, I personally don't have any issue with this at all. It has a nice twist and lock feature so you extend the pole to get the length you'd like and lock it in place ;-) I hope this helps!

I wouldn't trust it to pull down the weight of attic stairs. I'm careful to not let Mr. Long Arm to fall with the hook on it! Mr. Long Arm would work just fine, but I don't think the Big-Reach Pole Hook would hold up.

I hung it from my pole system that is out in the open. It also does well on shepherds' crooks off a deck or similar. Try to keep it about 5 feet off the ground.

I used the coupler on a single pole. So if the shepherds hook is double at the end where you hang the feeders it should work, but not on a double pole. You will need at least 4ft for the coupler for the device to keep the squirrels off the feeder. Put petroleum jelly on the devoice and it really insures that squirrels can't get over it.
