I have an existing pole (1" diameter) - will this perch on top?

We have two of these excellent feeders and they can be hung by the supplied ring or put on a one inch outside diameter pole. It is designed so the pole enters through the bottom tray and then terminates in a socket at the top. This design makes it very sturdy and as long as your pole is solidly in the ground, wind proof. This is our preferred method of using this feeder. We think that these are the best feeders on the market and our have lasted many years. I highly recommend them. Oh, and most importantly, the birds love them.

Mine is on such a pole, although I don't believe anything larger than an inch will work. The feeder certainly will stand on a pole, but you need a baffle below for squirrels.

Yes, the hole measures 1", however it doesn't have a stop to the hole it simply is a hole, so it looks like the pole would slide all the way to the top of the feeder.

There is no way this feeder will perch on a pole, it is ment to hange. We attached a Decorative hanger with a curved arm and hung the feeder. One of those Garden Basket hangers works great the tall iron ones. Good luck with it. I love mine. Last year a bear took it out by beating it to death. Got another and have not had any problems since.

yes it will fit. i used my existing pole from my old bird feeder. i purchased this exact one. the pole goes part of the way up then stops

I have my feeder on a pole which is slightly less than 1" diameter. As M. Lloyd said, there isn't a stop so the pole does slide all the way up to the top of the feeder.

You may need a little collar on the pole to keep the feeder from going more than a few inches onto the pole. Otherwise it would be hard to remove for filling.

Hi, Kathryn. There is a 1" hole in the bottom for a pole. The pole would extend through the bottom tray all the way up between the tubes to the top. The hole is not threaded. We hang it from a wire in a tree, but the pole would work fine, I'm sure, and with the pole extending to the top it would be fairly steady and secure. The people who said there's no way to attach a pole apparently did not turn the feeder upside down and actually look at it.

One inch outside, yes, but getting it on and off will be difficult unless you put some kind of stop, collar, thrubolt, so only about 5 or 6 inches of pole goes into feeder.

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.

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.

no it will not sweetiw, i have new hardwoood floors & that may be the best flooring to use your pole on, it will hold it in place & keep it it sturdy.

The pole itself it about 2", but 1.5" would work as well it material is strong.

Hi Lizh...I am not sure how it should go on mine was already attached when I got it. I would imagine though that you just screw it into the top as far down as you can until it catches. That may do the trick

As you can see it comes w extenders , check the max height and how low it will be w the lowest extender. Plus you twist it up ward so if you use 1less or no extender I think you should be ok. For my place I need the complete pole before even locking it to ceiling.

No it will not . Your best bet is just replace the cover and use old setup or buy a complete new set up including the pole . Sorry we actually returned this item bc it did not fit the pole

It's adjustable. I think it will fit on almost any size pole. Works like a charm, by the way.

No. I do not think that others who have said yes understand your question. There may be other hooks that would fit. But these hooks measure less than one inch in the curve, and would NOT go over a 1" rod.

I believe so. Depending on the end diameter of your extension pole, you may need to build the pole up with some duct tape, but it should work for you. That is working well for me. Happy Picking!

I bought a 1" pole at Home Depot. This top should have fit right over it but didn't. It was slightly too big and I had to force it in. Had to enlarge the hole in the pipe. The pipe is shaped just like the Achla, smaller at one end so they will fit together but the smaller end was exactly the same size as the Achla. Anyway, I hope it holds. Is the 1" dimension of the Achla any different than a standard 1" pipe from Home Depot or was I just unlucky and got a poor item???

This is meant to be mounted on a pole with your fixture attached to the top. I don't think that it would work.

Mine sits on the corner of a deck rail. I think it is too big for a pole unless there is a platform. The tendrils from grape vines have crept through the house. Very sweet.

The pole is smaller in diameter (1 inch or less) than a typical patio stand. It would fit inside but would not be snug.

No, unless all you need is the center-pole, which may be 1.5 feet in length.

I'm sorry, I did not keep the pole since it was a little flimsy and it had a flat bracket on the top that does not show the photo. I think it had a diameter of between 3/4" to 1"

Our pole is 1 1/2 inch and it fits snugly. It might go another 1/4 inch, but I don't think it would go much larger. We really like the light, I hope this helps.
