I already have a pole permanently in the ground. Can this feeder be attached to an already existing pole?

My Feeder came with a pole and monting bracket. So you could use your pole and the included bracket or use their pole. However I was not overly impressed with their pole as ability to hold the weight of a full feeder or with stand high winds or snow storms. I used a "shepherds" crock that have had been unsing for years. The feeder comes with a super brack that easily is assembled into the feeder it self, has handled strongs winds with no problem this year. Still the best feeder for me and would buy another next if needed.

I depends on the size of your pole. The one that comes with the feeder is about an inch in diameter and the receptacle on the feeder fits that pole.

We have a 4-ft utility pole in our backyard for sitting heavy flowerpots on so we mounted the feeder on that pole and, my husband hadsome sheet aluminum that he covered the top 15" with and it works fine. Actually fun to watch the squirrels try to climb the aluminum.

I don't think that using a bungee cord would hold this feeder. It is very large and needs to be pole mounted. I believe that they make smaller ones that can be hung. This is the best built feeder that I have ever seen. Look for smaller ones by the same manufacturer.

I don't know about the replacements, but you should get a squirrel baffle so they can't climb up the pole to your feeder. The pole should also be placed as far away from tree branches as possible, as they can leap onto the feeder. Sorry you're having trouble with squirrels - they're very persistent, but I haven't had a single problem since I got my squirrel baffle.

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.

It is basically a hanging type of feeder but if you are mechanically inclined, you could probably modify it to be pole mounted.

Even a double hanging shepard's hook has a straight pole going into the ground and that is where the baffle attaches-on the pole-so it's usable anywhere, for squirrels who want to get up from the ground. Be advised that the pole needs to be away from surrounding trees, fences, lawn furniture... any surface that can be used as a springboard for jumping onto the feeder. We had a very athletic squirrel who could-and did-leap tall buildings in a single bound. No other squirrel was able to get around the baffle but with our luck... well, finally I gave up and put out food in an aluminum pie tin just for him. Interestingly enough, getting food so easily seems to have bored him; he's not been around lately. This baffle should work fine on any feeder pole you have.

Since both the feeder and the pole are made by the same company(Homestead). I would phone them. Their number is: 920-386-4880.

Most poles need to be stuck into the ground, to hang a feeder on a deck the deck arm or deck hook will do the job. It fastens onto the deck and is out stretched to hold a feeder.

The pole is also 3/4 inch diameter and I believe the feeder usually comes with a pole connector to attach the feeder to a pole for mounting. I hope this helps!

The pole kit comes with an attachment that screws to the bottom of the feeder itself...then the attachment fits into the pole.

Yes you can. It comes with an S hook that fits into the center post when the top is all the way on. We hang it from a hook but you could easily put a chain between the S hook of the feeder and a hook somewhere else.

I have only used this feeder as a hanging feeder (suspended from shepherd hooks). I have not attempted to mount it on a pole. Sorry I can't answer your questions. I have made several purchases of these feeders for my use.

Like a recent answer I also put my pole in the ground and tied it to the existing fence metal pole which is very sturdy and it works fine.LIZ Zeigler

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.

Yes, you need to already have a pole with mounting bracket or get one seperately. I already had one that we reused. The feeder has predrilled holes in the bottom for the bracket. Hope this helps! If you live in the country, o highly recommend the raccoon baffle, also available thru Amazon. I have had it about 4 months now and not a squirrel or coon has gotten past it :)

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.

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
