What is the diameter of the pole and is hollow? Some posters mentioned getting a 6 1/2 foot rebar to reinforce the pole. Is this necessary?

I cannot answer theie of pole but I do have problems with mine tilting. Rebar reinforcement would be nice if it is hollow inside the pole.

Not having the pole right by me, not sure of the diameter. We did have to steady with some wooden wedges my husband pounded into the ground.

I am not too sure about the diameter but the pole is hollow. I did not need any rebar and I have birds and squirrels all over it. I suggest that you put it in the ground after it rains or soften up the spot where you want to place it. My husband tried to bang it into the ground with a hammer but the metal rods couldn't take it and bent. We had to straighten it back out before we could put the top on.

I'm not sure the diameter of the pole but it has survived some wicked winds with no issues (without rebar).

The diameter is 3/4 of an inch. The pole is hollow. If you have no visitors to your feeding station other than birds the pole does not require reinforcement. However, if you have squirrels and in particular raccoons you will probably need to reinforce the pole. I have used wood wedges and they have worked but...I have also resorted to taking in the feeders at night. I have LOTS of heavy-weight visitors to the feeding station.

I believe the pole is advertised as being 91"There are three "prongs"at the bottom of the pole that you push down into the ground to secure it. The remaining part above ground will be approx. 79". I've purchased other poles in the past. This is definitely heavy duty, well made, and looks great! Hope that helps:)

The description says it will accommodate a railing 2 inches thick. My railing is 1" thick and there is plenty of extra room. I would say that the 2" description is accurate. I really like this pole. It is sturdy and easy to attach.

Sorry, it was perfect for me, a short little runt (5'3"). Seems like elsewhere on the Internet or on Amazon others had commented about adding (splicing in) another length of pipe to bottom to raise the top section, but I'm not exactly sure how that was done. Need some mechanical engineer type person. The other possibility might be in building up the concrete on the outside and any internal PVC or steel pipe that the two pieces could fit on - but you'd need to reinforce from the outside. Instructions were like to sink 20" of the pole into the ground for stability (I forget the exact number, but it was a ways on down, to give it stability.). So if you made the concrete footing shallower relative to the ground level then you likely will need to have some sort of buttress on the outside, or extra bracing from the ends of the horizontal "T" pole down to the ground (and the appropriate safety "flags" or coloring or flower vines or something so that people don't hurt themselves tripping over the guy wires. Anyway, this is kinda off my head but sorry I don't have a really great solution other then just to research other places. The pole is just about right for me... the clothes line is starting to get a little droopy and catch on my top knot but I just need to tighten them to make it not tangle it up with my head. Otherwise it's working out just fine for me.

You are only getting the hook. ( 6 x 2 x 6 inches ) You need to get a pole of have one. I happened to have one that I use for painting walls etc. The hook seems pretty universal to fit on most any utility extension pole.

The diameter of the base is very close to 7 1/2 inches. It's a little hard to measure exactly because the pole is in the middle. This is almost exact, though.

I'm sure the pole itself is hollow considering the overall weight of it. However the foot\clamp that's on the pole is welded onto it. The foot\clamp would have to be cut off for you to do that. The grabber foot is designed to slide over a desk edge then screw clamped down to secure it to the desk edge. You would probably want to look elsewhere for something like your talking about or have one fabricated to your needs. But in short yes the pole itself is hollow.

The Pole diameter is 1 1/2 inches which is probably standard. The circumference is 5".

It's just a hook approx 3 1/2" with a threaded female end,need to purchase a pole separatedly to use it.

Paul, The pole appears to be (Outside Diameter) 1 3/4" or 1 7/8" ... The base that comes with it looks 2" OD.. . Good luck

The bar is hollow but constructed very sturdily. More important is the way it attached to a wall. Mine is against the tiles next to the bathroom sink. You need to have someone attach it who knows what they're doing.

I would build a concrete form (wooden box ) to bring the concrete base for the pole up to the level you need. It would be a good idea to put in a few pieces of rebar to ensure strength.

I just installed mine. The hole should be dug to 32" deep and a cinder block is to be placed in the middle of the hole. The pole sits on top of the cinder block that is placed in the hole. I'm not sure of the exact length of the pole itself, however.

I believe that all are hollow except for the very top one. It sounds like you are planning to run a wire up the inside of the pole. I went up the outside so it was not an issue for me. Perhaps you could get a longer pole and discard the thinnest element?

The pole is 1" tubular steel, the mounting flange is 61/2" across. I have a large wooden feeder and doubted it would do the job, but it does. Squirrels do not get up the pole and I have a lot of them.Regards, Bill Mills WV

The diameter at the base is about 1.25 inches. Because the sections are held in place only by friction, I would not recommend using the pole in this way. The thinnest ~8ft would not be able to hold any load up in the air.

No, it's too small, I just measured it - the pole holder itself is 2" in diameter so the opening is smaller!Good luck!
