Can the feeder be mounted on a pole?

It is not designed to go on a pole, but if our handy, I don't know why it could not be modified by drilling some screws into the bottom or you could hang it from an shepherds hook off the top. I bought a hook from MacKenzie-Childs that looks incredible with this. I get many compliments.

No. I hung my feeder but I seem to remember it had a pole mount. I might add that the little red roof opening where you load the seeds into is very small and partially blocked inside by support structures. I had to cut out two of the four structures to allow seeds to flow in. It is a big feeder and holds a lot of feed.

Yes you can. All you need is a mounting bracket which you can get from a birding supply store. Just make sur it will fit the diameter of the pole, then drill the pilot holes and drive some wood screws and you're done.

It has screws and pre-drilled holes to mount on a flat surface. No doubt you could be creative and rig it to mount on a pole.

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.

Yes...the pole kit actually comes with an attachment that screws to the bottom of the feeder allowing it to slide onto the pole.

This feeder can be hung using the adapter included with our Perky-Pet 5107-4 Universal Bird Feeder Pole

Yes, you need to already have a pole with mounting bracket or get one seperately. I already had one that we reused. The feeder has predrilled holes in the bottom for the bracket. Hope this helps! If you live in the country, o highly recommend the raccoon baffle, also available thru Amazon. I have had it about 4 months now and not a squirrel or coon has gotten past it :)

It would have to hang from a hook that extends out from the pole 10 to 12 inches. The feeder comes with a ring attached to the top.

The feeder should be screwed onto the pole mount.Make sure the screws are tight.You have to really smash the poles together, hard.I had my 14 year old son do it.You may borrow him if you want!

Yes, there was pole; We used the old pole to hang the feeder. It hangs from our old pole. I am very pleased with the bird feeder and so are the birds. Squirrels have been frustrated.

The feeder does not have a mounting bracket. The tray has a wooden slat across the middle that can be screwed thru for mounting. I made a stand using a 4x4 post and 2x4s for feet. I mounted the tray to the post using 2 2" wood screws.

The poles slide together, the feeder hooks are adjustable and screw into the pole. Not a very sturdy pole.

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 holes are small so not much seed ( I use sunflower seeds only ) is wasted or kicked out. As for mounting on a pole, I have it mounted on a pipe pole that has a flange on top. This is a nice and good looking feeder.

Hi, the feeder has a space at the center of the bottom of it that extends inward about 1 1/4" with a diameter maybe 1/2" or so. I would assume that is exactly what it is made to do. I do not think bracket mounting would be a great idea, but might work if doesn't bend the metal base which screws onto the clear plastic. I just tried a metal rod for size while the feeder was totally full and there were no problems or damage. Keep in mind that the top must come off to add the seed, and after a few birds the feeder will be bottom heavy anyway(that's good for pole mounting). I hope this helps. later

You can try this method. It might be wiser to attach the feeder from the base to the pole with a base plate. The bird food will add weight to the feeder and an animal can make it unstable and tip.
