Can this feeder be mounted on top of a wooden post? How?

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.

Yes, I have mine mounted onto a 4x4 post. I went to my local chain hardware store and bought a 4x4 bracket that is used for wooden decks and just mounted it under the feeder.

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

I suppose you could put it on a post using the right kind of glue or adhesive. However, the way the top swivels to open and close I would not recommend it. I found it way too hard to open in order to fill with bird seed. It was also smaller than I expected so you not only have to refill it too often, but the perch for the birds is too narrow for adult birds such as cardinals, though they made a valiant effort at it.

yes, i believe you can hang it also. it has a handle that you can use to hang it from a tree, or whatever you have. i have mine on the pole with an added extra - a cone to prevent the squirels from climbing up to the feeder. i havent had any problems after i added the cone, but the squirels were able to get to the food by holding on to the pole just below the feeder and using one paw to grab food from the feeder. i dont know if they'd be able to do the same thing from a chain holding it from the top.

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.

It is basically a hanging type of feeder but if you are mechanically inclined, you could probably modify it to be pole mounted.

It hangs easily with the included hanging device. My experience with using it either hanging or pole mounted is the necessity of a squirrel baffle to keep those pesky critters from figuring out how to empty the feeder. Good luck.

There is a deep indentation in the bottom for it to fit on top of the standard size (about an inch wide) wood or aluminum pole. It only would rest on the pole as it is not secured by any bolts or screws. It is heavy when filled with seeds but can be lifted off to refill it through the cap in the center of the roof. You would need to put on a squirrel guard to protect it. I prefer to hang it from a pole with an arm as the weight of the feeder makes it more secure.

I think this feeder is best to hang. If you was to put it on a pole i be-leave you would need a special mount. Not sure if there is one available for this type of mounting. What i found to work well was a hanging basket pole.

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

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

I don't know about mounting it on a pole. I don't use mine any more because the squirrels were all over it and had the cover off and the seed all over the ground in nothing flat.

bottom of the feeder is a straight pole. You could anchor it in concrete or in the soil

The feeder is quite heavy when filled so the pole would need to be very strong and secure.

you would have to fix some kind of holder for the pole. I have seen flat feeders that were already adapted to a pole which is probably a better choice. I have mine having on a shepard's crook pole.

It comes with steel cable hangers connected to each corner and meeting at the top for easy hanging. I don't see any way to readily mount it on a post. The bottom is a screen-like material which keeps seeds well ventilated but you would not be able to attach that material to a post.

Hi, I did. The bottom is wooden and I just sunk in a couple of screws. Also, I used some old rain gutters to encase the post so that squirrels could not climb it. Hope this helps, Jim Oh, and I do enjoy watching birds at the feeder. In May I put orange halves in the cages for the orioles.
