add the dome to this feeder

Are you trying to protect from rain or squirrels? The cover it has is enough to protect the seed and squirrels dont seem to bother with this feeder.

I'm not sure what you mean "Add the dome to this feeder"?The feeder is protected when it rains and the finches love it. I have 2.

Dome could be added but I have found top covers quite sufficiently to protect seed.

There is a small black button beside the top piece that is at the very top of the roof of the feeder. Sqeeze that toward the center and you can slide the roof up and down the wire.

Sounds like you're missing a piece. There are two hooks that come with it and connect to each other through the dome.

Not sure about that yet, as it's still summer. We have always used the tin/aluminum feeder sitting on heat plate, but will try heat tape on this. Depends on the temps I guess!

Yes, there is a mount under the feeder which the pole slips into. It comes with all the hardware.

Hey - it will fit right on top of the pole - there's a hole/indentation in the bottom of the bird feeder and you just place it on top of the pole

I have not but do recall sever available when searched for that subject on Google. Try to get a high dome type and I would allow for a 2" smaller diameter to fit in the bowl. They are out there I just don't know off hand where to direct you to.

The bottom of this feeder is a screen that can be removed easily for cleaning, but it makes it a little difficult for metal pole mounting. You could attach an "X" made out of wood or metal to allow you to attach to the feeder. We love our feeders (we have two of these) but I used wire to hang them from hooks attached to a 4X4. Makes it very easy to take down to clean.

We screwed a hook into the bottom of a horizontal tree branch, with no other branches around it and hung the feeder from there.We also bought one of those plastic domes that goes over the top of the feeder. It was actually kind of fun to watch the squirrels first try to go over the dome- with no luck- then they take a flying leap onto the perch which closes the little door.- They finally have given up and go elsewhere!

Maybe you need to design an elevated system that would contain the Northmate Feeder. Perhaps you could place the Feeder on top of a storage box that has a lid with a raised edge.

I wish I had a clear answer for you but I just believe that as convenient the feeder should/could be it's just not that well designed. I would suggest asking the manufacturer or sending it back and getting a new one or a refund.

Can't see why not. There is a little door with notches that you can set to release set amounts of food. Test it with the flakes or food to see how much is dropped out as the feeder turns. It is a nice little feeder. Just make sure your batteries are charged.

use a 4x4 box and cover with a piece of romex feeding from the nearest circut

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...

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.

Check YouTube. There are some videos of babies using this feeder that were helpful to me.

I use the clear "Aspects 182 Super Dome, by Aspects" for all but one of my feeders. It has an 18 inch diameter so it gives great coverage. I purchase this product on Amazon.
