it's roughly 2' x 10" and less than a foot high... rests on two split wood rails which raises the platform 1"-2" off the ground... you would have to attach a mounting bracket underneath to pole mount it... the green part is a corrugated plastic similar to that used in political signs and not strong enough to hold a chain for hanging... hope that helps... -CatMan

Peanuts would be too large. Bird seed filters from the bottom of the feeder. Sunflower seed will fit through but that is as large as I would go with it.

The pole is only about 2" in diameter. The baffle is wider at the top, maybe 5-6 inches in diameter, and tapers down to about 3". I definitely think it would stop raccoons since the squirrels can't jump high enough to get over the baffle. I doubt they would either. I've had this up since March of 2011 and nothing has raided it yet!

I don't know the dimensions either, mine is also up a tree...but I have a plush Summit Viper climbing tree stand, and this umbrella is plenty adequate to cover it even when I'm seated and I put the umbrella high enough above it that I can stand up. I might be two small for a dual ladder stand, or a ground blind if you want a large radius of cover, but for any single seated tree stand this should be plenty. It's well built and sturdy, and holds up in weather. I did have to spray it down with some water sealer though, because the rain started dripping through. A minor inconvenience and under $10 set back.

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 measuring now..about 6 inches wide.. 2 inches tall. .it's kinda small..but works well for cereal or soup or small salad. It's good cause it doesn't hurt environment. .hope this helped

As far as the squirrels been able to get in...yes it would be good. However, I would keep it away from the sun.

It's around 18 1/2" tall, not including the rigid wire hanger, which would add a few more ". The feeder section is around 5" across, and the base is 7" across. I measured quickly because it's raining. I had at least 4 of them now. Had racoons and a horse tear some of them up, but if you get a lot of birds, it holds a lot.

it's raining out or I'd go measure, but I'd guess the nesting box to be about 2 feet wide by about a foot deep and about a 12-18" high. The perch is just a 1x1 square "post" that drops in to a groove inside the coop so you just wouldn't put it in. It would be big enough for a rabbit easily.

Depends on how big around the dome is... but I would suspect there is though you may need hang the feeder / dome a foot or so down from the hook at the end on a cord or chain so there is enough space for the dome. BTW - Squirrels need to eat too!

It is not water proof. I have quite a large porch & mine is plugged in outside on the porch where it never gets rained on. Squirrels don't even get near my porch any more. I plan on purchasing two more units, one for my attic & one for my storage shed.

This house comes with the hole already made 1 1/2". It has a curved PVC body. If you make a hole 1" on top that would let the rain in. Personally, I wouldn't suggest it. If you want a Wren or Northern Chickadee, you could use a wooden box with a 1 1/8 inch hole.

Thomas it is 5 -1/4 High X 5-1/4 wide and 17 inches long. You need at least another inch in width for the trigger rods and also a few inches in length when trap is set and the doors are open. It really works great I use whole peanuts for bait and within 2 weeks I caught 11 ground squirrels.

certainly this is better than a flat feeder. The top is well protected from rain, but the bottom where the birds sit and feed is open somewhat to rain. We have little to no rain in LA, but tons of squirrels. The Squirrels never get on it. you might want to look for a feeder with a large canopy.

The poll is approximately 6 feet tall though 1 foot of it is in the base of in the birdfeeder canister. Therefore it is functionally 5 feet tall or realistically if you put the full of foot plus in the ground the base of the canister is slightly less then 4 feet off the ground. This is fine with respect to protection from squirrels and varmints. Period 946

I don't know for sure, but I would put it as high as you can hang it. And they seem to like to fly in, land on the tree, and bounce backwards down the tree, and then jump onto the feeder. So our feeded is only about 3'-4' out from the tree trunk. Finally, you have to use suet with red pepper in it, otherwise the squirrels will try to eat it.... AND try to gnaw on the feeder. With the red pepper suet, the squirrels leave it completely alone, but all the woodpeckers love it. On this feeder, we have all the woodpeckers - downy, hairy, red bellied and pileated. It's AMAZING !

After a couple of different heights I settled on 34 inches to the lower part of the baffle to the ground. The feeder is 36 inches away from the bottom of the baffle and 20 inches higher than the bottom of the baffle. Feeder is 54 inches off the ground to bottom of feeder. When I first installed the baffle, the squirrels could not get up the pole past the baffle and thus tried to jump from the pole at the bottom of the baffle to the feeder but gave that up after a day or two. The whole installation has worked very well with the feeder not being so high that I can refill it easily from the ground and most importantly the squirrels are really "baffled".
