Can this be mounted to a large pine tree? Thank you.

It should be able to. The base has 4 holes for screws that you can screw into just about anything. You might need to swap out the screws for longer ones though. I think the ones that came in the package are only 1 inch.

yes it can but you will have to replace the standard screws with longer wood screws to go through the bark and secure it, would dip the s/s screws into a pruning sealant first

Yes! I mounted two of mine on trees. One fell shortly after but it was my own fault. Make sure you get some wood screws about two inches or so and you'll be set. I now hang potted plants; feeders full of seed; wind chimes... anything. They are excellent.

Yes, but you will need longer screws. I have mine mounted on 4X4 fence post. I use stainless steel screws instead of the one that came with the pole. Good luck to you. YY

I think it can. The mounting plate is a flat piece of metal with 4 screw holes. The plate would probably not lie flush against a tree trunk, but if you use long screws, it would be secure. This product is heavy duty, and not a flimsy piece of metal.

Well, it's a four screw flat mount, so the tree would have to be fairly flat for it to work, but I guess if you used long enough screws it could work. Or you could fashion some sort of inversely curved adapter, but no, not out of the box unless the tree is flat enough. Thanks for reminding me, I need to make an update on this. You need to grease the thing from time to time, the elements make it such that small squirrels can use it. I put some corn oil on it from time to time. Thinking about it, that would be a real problem with a pine tree, the sap would tend to make the thing sticky..........

I'd imagine you could but I'd recommend having longer screws so it could secure into the truck of the tree. With the bark barrier it would have to cross, the screws included would not secure the bracket very well.

It could only be mounted to a post like that if a mount is made from metal or wood. The mount's attachment points are spaced to facilitate mounting to a stud framed wall. Metal is not practical since a piece of heavy steel plate would be needed if metal was chosen as a way to mount this to your post. I would use a 20" piece of 2x8 or 2x10 lumber, either treated or redwood. A piece of pine lumber would work too and it would last a long time if it is sealed with polyurethane.

I would say no. I've used pine before and it tends to be a bit "gummy" when it gets wet. I don't think you could fit enough in for it to be effective.

Not really. It needs 2 pieces of 18 inch long 2 x 4 to go above the horizontal wood. So unless this piece of tree branch is relatively straight. It will not work that I can think of.

No, it wouldn't work. I did see some others on Amazon that were designed for pole mounting though.

These "rocks" are designed to screw into a T-nut mounted on the back side of the surface--If you then anchored the board (plywood) to the tree, it could work

Sorry, but I think it isn't ideal for mounting, it's made to hang (from a tree branch, hook, etc), but the company may have suggestions for you. Their customer service is excellent, and they offer a one year guarantee for their products. It's a great feeder, though.

you might could set it on a branch but you would have to find a way to attach it- the "wind action" doesn't really work

Yeah I don't see why you couldn't mount to the frame. I mounted mine to the camper for easier reading the level.

Wish I could help, but it did not fit our tree. My husband is going to have to build a swing frame. I can tell you it is well built and sturdy. I believe it states weight capacity. You need a very high place to suspend it from.

No. A strand this length could acceptably light a tree this size. The width of the tree at the base (wide or narrow) will determine how much tree volume needs to be covered and how fully the tree will be light.

I have mine on a tree. It is big! I have it attached to a wide thick branch. My kids love it so worth the money!

It can't be hung unless you rig up a way to hang it. There is a place in back to anchor it on a pole or tree. I made a platform to screw it on top of a pole.
1325537
I suppose you could screw something to hang it with in the back. I used mine for two days mounted to a piece of plywood on a post. It quit working after two days.

it can, but it won't be all that secure since it would be mounted to plastic. Better to mount it to wood or metal.

It can be installed at any height, but you will have to check your angle to make sure that it doesn't drop too fast because there is a danger of hitting the tree at the other end.

I would not mount it there. The mount is very heavy and probably would not work well there.
