Can this feeder be mounted on a 4X4 post?

I don't believe so without using some sort of adaptor. You would probably need to use a pole mounting flange on top of the 4x4 post.

Yes this mounting plate can be used on a 4x4 post. Vertical mounting plate and screw hole's from top to bottom are about 3 1/2" inche's apart.

That depends where you want to hang it. I use a piece of 3/4 inch metal conduit bent at a 90 degree angle about three feet from the bottom and have it strapped to my deck post. About one foot back front of the conduit I drilled a hole and put an eye bolt in it to hang the feeder.

Well idk. I don't see why not tho. I like the way it's made. It is my favorite feeder and I have tried 3 other styles. The metal uprights keep my chickens from wasting feed on the ground. The only thing I did to optimize its construction was to fasten it to a piece of a 2x6 the same length to give it move weight so they wouldn't turn it over. Some had suggested wire tie to fence but I like to be able to move it around and pick it up to clean it. So I found adding the platform base made more sense for me. Best of luck with your flock!

I would think you could. I mounted mine on a copper post. I took a 2x4 and mounted it on the bottom of the feeder lengthwise with screws. Then I mounted a metal flange on to the 2x4 with screws also. I then screwed the flange onto the copper pipe. I'm pretty sure they make metal mounts for wooden posts and you could find them in the hardware store where they keep the decking materials.

Hi,My feeder does not have a threaded spot for a pole. That said it does have a space that runs up the middle inside the feeder that could allow the metal pipe to hold the feeder in place on a pole.

Sorry, NO. The base is wide enough for a 6 by 6 inch piece of wood ( pressure-treated preferred) which can then be mounted on a 4 by 4 inch post. The 2x2 is too small for a secure mount.

it can be pole mounted. you will to drill fasteners thru the floor of the feeder. should be simple with a cordless drill. that is how i installed mine.

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.

Yes. The instructions called something like 1.5 feet above the ground and that's what I did. After completion I wished I had gone taller. It's hollow and the taller your 4x4 the more stable your post.

I bought the post with it. And I sent it to someone else. I assume you could jury rig it with a 2x4 or some such as a base.

I would say yes I mounted mine to 2 4x4 stack on top of each other on top of my privecy fence post with lag bolts

Sure, but I bought a 12 foot wether resistant 4x4 and sunk that 2 foot and mounted it on that. It might be a little difficult the way you want it cause fence poles are usually 2" in diameter. But it could be done. I would prefer something flat like the 4x4.

Well, the description clearly states "Mounts easily to 4 x 4 post (not included)" so the answer would be "no".

Yes. The bottom of the feeder has a threaded indentation where a pole could be screwed on.

Yes it can. I thouht I would mount a base board first, but the feeder fit perfect on the end of the post
