Do you think this feeder could be hung with a chain or cable instead of using the legs? That way it could be lowered for filling.

Anything is possible I guess it's made of a flexable plastic so it's not that strong. What I did was bought a cheap swimming pool ladder off of Craigslist painted it Camo and used it for filling. One of the things I like about it but dident know when I bought it was its compatable with a 12volt battery. And when it is hooked up it will throw corn in a 60 foot circle and will last all deer season

Probably a great idea. I just went outside to experiment, the water reservoir was only about 1/4 full, and it would be stable with the weight of an average rabbit with its feet on one bowl! When full it would be even more so. When almost empty, probably less so. Using it that way, the actual bowls would be an inch or so off the ground.

it's on hinges so it's not made to be removed but you could do it yourself but you'd have to attach the chains it hangs by to the sides...we actually have a couple of short bungee cords holding our feeder to a post on our deck ...that way we get a closer look at our birds and nocturnal flying squirrels that are small enough to fit inside

Hang it with a flexible chain or cord verses a rigid one so that it hangs level. I have not had any leakage problems with it even during the Santa Ana Winds. This feeder is easy to clean and take apart...the best ever.

This feeder comes with a metal hook attached to the top of the feeder that can be used for hanging. It does not include a chain. Chains can be purchased separately; Perky-Pet 65 Hanging Chain for Bird Feeder, 33-Inch

As you can see in the graphic, the feeder is suspended under the dome. I would think a 4 sided feeder would work fine unless it is unusually large. I first purchased the small dome, but then purchased the large dome, and it is much more satisfactory for my needs. I hope this helps. Blessings. navydoc

Somewhat, it's better than other feeders if that is your problem but it won't kerp wood chips totally out. I also have this feeder on a 2" cement block. Also this feeder will tip over unless you stabilize the wire legs. I still like this feeder compared to the 6 or 7 other ones I've purchased

I wondered the same thing. I got a similar feeder from petsN' all which does have a place for a pole (3/4"), but it is very cheaply made. I just got it today and am going to send it back and ask for another one, and if it is as bad as this one, I'm gonna look for another feeder feeder. I ordered the perky-pet carriage bird feeder a while ago and it is great for a pole or hanging, but it spills too much seed on the ground for one location where I want to keep it cleaner, which is why the design of this one appealed to me. It is a great design, but has some major flaws.

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.

There is a place underneath in the center that fits a pole. Personally I thought that well wasn't deep enough to keep the feeder steady because of the weight of it when full of seed/nuts. It's supposed to work but I'm too cautious to try it on a pole.

I think it would work best if the feeder was mounted on a pole and the baffle were placed under it. It still works great that way for me because the squirrels can't get beyond it to the feeder. It's wonderful.

There is a hole in the base of the feeder. Get a piece of pipe from your hardware store that is the height you want plus at least a foot to go in the ground. The pipe needs to be no wider than 7/8 of an inch; my local hardware store had one exactly that dimension. The dome will lift off the tubes completely so you can fill it, then screw the dome back into the threaded top of the rod.

Anything is possible... Someone already suggested cutting 3" off both ends and then drilling 2 new holes to add the hanging end pieces. This should allow the proper balance overall... It is not a rack meant to hold a bunch of pots or heavy items. I still think that it is one of our best purchases to save space etc..We did not use the hanging chains only screw in hooks, because we are a house of tall folks!

A domed one with drainage on the bottom. If there aren't any drill 1/8holes all around the bottom.you can hang it but not to close to the tube feeder. Animals can stratel the feeders and make a messI use a rubbermaidbird feeder and mix 60/40 mealworms with bird seed but don't use black oil sunflower seeds to much oil with clot the openings for the birds to get the mealworms. What r u feeding (birds?). Feel free to ask any questions.Mark

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.

There is no way this feeder will perch on a pole, it is ment to hange. We attached a Decorative hanger with a curved arm and hung the feeder. One of those Garden Basket hangers works great the tall iron ones. Good luck with it. I love mine. Last year a bear took it out by beating it to death. Got another and have not had any problems since.

you would have to fix some kind of holder for the pole. I have seen flat feeders that were already adapted to a pole which is probably a better choice. I have mine having on a shepard's crook pole.
