can you attach a squirrel baffle to this pole?

Yes, I attached one to mine and "no more squirrels" robbing my birds of their food.

Yes but lower attachments make it easy for the squirrels to just jump to them. Pole is not very high. It's all about placement of the attachments and how close the pole is to other objects. With a little repositioning the squirrels really don't bother trying and mostly just eat off the ground around the pole. We are happy with our purchase and find the starlings that visit to be a way bigger problem than the squirrels.

Mountable on pole with screw. I added a 3/4 dowel to my bird feeder and then mounted the dome atop this dowel to thwart pesky squirrels from leaping from nearby branches into the feeder. It has worked so far, but the clever squirrels will probably figure out a way around the devise. :)

I placed my peanut feeder on a pole with a squirrel baffle. Watching the squirrels try to get around the baffle was as much fun as watching the blue jays getting the peanuts.

it might but not sure as it works on a pole preventing a squirrel from going up

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.

No, they can climb the pole - you'll need to get something like this - Woodlink NABAF18 Audubon Wrap Around Squirrel Baffle, 18-Inch - to keep them down.

If you can slip it over the top of your pole, then do it and tighten the fastener. If there is some impediment at the top of your pole so baffle won't slide onto pole, you'll have to take pole out of ground.

I don't think you can. The baffle that keeps the squirrels away broke during the tough winter we had last year. I tried to contact the company but they had gone out of business. I eventually had to buy a new one at Benny's (cheapest around).

I was able to put my baffle from my previous pole on it. Works like a charm. The pole is a little flimsy though. I was disappointed by that. The weight of the feeders makes it list to one side.

I can not give you a definitive answer. We use the Green Esteem pole for our hummingbird feeder. Squirrels do not bother it.

To keep raccoons off this feeder I had to add another baffle below -- the Audubon Torpedo Steel Squirrel Baffle (sold by Amazon) attaches easily to the pole. Have no problem with squirrels getting at the seeds as long as it is 6 feet or so away from trees or other objects from which they can jump.

We don't ever see raccoons in our yard but I am told it should keep them away too. I have not had one squirrel climb the pole. The top of the baffle is probably 4 1/2 - 5 inches at the top, my husband says, and around 3 inches at the bottom.

You definitely want to place it high enough so that the squirrels can't jump on top of it. Mine is on a double shepherd's hook and is about three feet off the ground. The squirrels can't jump on top of it and when they climb up the pole they can't get around the baffle to get to the feeders. It works great.

I'm not sure what you mean by "non-wrap around baffle". If you mean a cone-shaped baffle with a hole in the center, the answer is yes. You would just attach it at the time you assemble the pole. A hanging baffle will also work. If this doesn't answer your question, perhaps you can explain "non-wrap around baffle" and if I can help, I'd be happy to try to answer your question.

As others have said, it depends on the pole. As long as one end of the pole or the other is straight, it will work. I used a straight pole which I drove into the ground and then slid the baffle on from the top.

It probably doesn't matter. As long as it will fit the pole you want to attach it too. Mine are about 3-1/2 feet off the ground on shepherds hooks. Recently a squirrel has managed to leap straight up from the ground to grab onto the bottom of my bird feeder and defeat the anti-squirrel ring altogether. I've seen him do this several times. I've looked for taller shepherds hooks, but no one appears to make anything taller.

Will work if feeder can accept 4 screws or bolts through bottom to attach to plate at top if pole. We use an Audubon Torpedo baffle on the pole itself to keep squirrels from climbing the pole. It works.
