Is there a way to hang this feeder instead of pole mount? Thanks.

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

Unfortunately you can only mount this feeder on a pole. It is one of my favorite feeders though. Love the clean appearance of it which does not take away from the colourful birds.

The feeder should be screwed onto the pole mount.Make sure the screws are tight.You have to really smash the poles together, hard.I had my 14 year old son do it.You may borrow him if you want!

The platform feeders do no come with hangers. They are made to go onto a post or pole. You could make your own hanger but that will cancel out any warranty or return privileges as it is not made to hang.

This feeder is really meant to be hung from a hook or sheperd's pole. The hole's are not large but they are big enough for small birds to eat from. Hope this helps you.

I'm also using a hook to hang my feeder. You'll need the 'hanger' plus 2 large hair pins (cotter pins) that are supplied with the feeder. To attach the hanger to the assembly, look at the sides of the feeder. Away from the perch, of each side of the feeder, there should be a slot and a hole punched through the side. Insert the loop portion of the hanger through the slot and the stub end of the hanger through the hole. Do this on both sides. Once you have the hanger inserted completely, insert the hair pins through the loop on the hanger, inside the feeder. That's all, folks!

The picture shows a mounting bracket because you can mount it. That is what I did. There is a removable screen in the feeder that allows for drainage. I have found that rain water does not collect in the feeder. The seed gets damp, but there is not a pool of water. The bottom of the wooden part of the feeder is not solid and the metal screen allows for drainage. I have been very pleased with my feeder. The construction of the feeder is very good.

I have mine in the middle of pole, but they have figured out how to jump above it to the feeders. You probably should just experiment with it. Something I read place a shower rod cover over the pole. I have not done this yet, but plan too.

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.

By itself, no. With modification to a straight pole or the product itself, yes. The mesh sits in a groove around the perimeter of the feeder. You could always drill a hole in the center of the mesh into a wooden pole or metal if your drill can handle it.

Woodlink sells a tray accessory that is attached with small nuts, and bolts. There are two holes in the bottom bracket of the feeder that will allow for this to be done- if you look closely under the bottom feed port on the feeder you can just make out where the small bolt would attach the tray accessory item# WLTUBETRAY

You can put this on a pole if your pole has a bracket. This has a loop at the top of the wire, so you need something to hang this on. The bigger birds not at this feeder, some spillage but not as much as other feeders. Very good small bird feeder.

Not that I can determine. Seems as if you would have to mount the entire feeder onto a platform that would be at the top of a pole which would require drilling screw holes in the bottom tray. Since the whole feeder is plastic, you will make the entire feeder more vulnerable. We strung fishing line around a tree branch (threw a tennis ball with the fishing line over the branch) and use the hook at the top of the feeder, plus an additional eye hook to hang the feeder two stories off the ground. Works splendidly. Good luck!

Needs to hang. I don't see any provision on the bottom for it to be pole mounted.

The short answer is yes you can hang from a wire or chain. Keep in mind that this is a large bird feeder and is quite heavy when filled. The feeder comes with an "S" hook that you can loop from an eye screw on the lid of the feeder. Both the hook and eye screw are substantial in size so it will support the weight of the feeder when filled. I would use the same gage wire or chain as is the eye screw on the lid.

It doesn't have a bracket for putting on a pole. It has a cord to hang it. In order to fill this feeder you have to take the metal screen off, so you might want to reconsider putting it on a pole. You have to turn the metal screening to unhook it from the locks and then pull up and off to expose the top of the plastic cylinder inside to fill. Then the screening goes back over the cylinder and locks again to hang from the cable that is attached to the metal screening. This is the best feeder and all my birds love it this is the second one I've purchased as Mr. Bear flattened the first one. They go to this feeder first then if it's full of birds they will go to one of the other feeders but they all prefer this feeder. I have mine hanging from my deck under the overhang. This feeder is made to last. The first one I had lasted 5 years and still was as good as new except for being flattened and the plastic seed holder smashed. I've had this one for quite awhile now and the birds love it just as much as the first one. You won't be disappointed if you purchase it. But like I said it's made for hanging.

I don't have any experience using this as a hanging feeder but I would think the bungee cord would work. These feeders are very heavy so I don't think a bird landing on it would cause it to tip. I would try the bungee cord and if that doesn't work purchase a pole system and add a squirrel baffle. These feeders are so well made and easy to clean that it will never need replaced.

This tray is intended to mount on the bottom of a Droll Feeder only, certainly not on a bird feeder pole. this tray includes a black plastic threaded bolt/screw that attaches it to a Droll Yankee feeder. There would be absolutely no way to support the tray on a pole.
