How much weight will the pole hold? I have a capacity feeder

Not sure how many pounds, but I would say at least 10 pounds on each arm. The hooks are kind of small, but are of high quality.

This will hold a lot of weight. I have four self-watering flower pots on one of these and it doesn't flex at all. Regular poles wouldn't hold even one of these pots. So there will be no problem with a capacity feeder.

I am not certain of the exact weight the pole will hold. Presently I am hanging 5 feeders. One of the feeders has about a 10 lb capacity and there have not been any problems. The two extension poles are very sturdy. The extension poles are reinforced with angle supports which really seem to help with the weight.

Quite a bit I would say. I have 4 feeders plus hanging plants on mine and its fine. You do have to balance weights on either ends of the poles or else they hang cockeyed. Hope this helps

I have found it very sturdy. I have two long seed feeders, a suet feeder and a water tray and have had no problems. Even in high winds while the feeders sway a great deal, the pole remans strong.

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.

I was able to put my baffle from my previous pole on it. Works like a charm. The pole is a little flimsy though. I was disappointed by that. The weight of the feeders makes it list to one side.

Yes it should be sturdy enough. Pound the first pole piece into the ground as far as you can to increase stability. My birdhouse probably weighs the same as yours.

Ours holds 200 lbs and it lasts about 2-3 months. Keep in mind that how you program your feeder depends on how long it lasts. Ours feed 2x/day. Hope this helps. We use 40 lb bags

I bought it to hold a glass hummingbird feeder, which probably only weighs 2-3 pounds when full. However, for more stability you can run a wood screw through the hole in the bracket into the deck rail.

I have a bird feeder that holds 10 lbs of bird seed and I've had no problem, very sturdy I definitely recommend it.

My feeder holds 11 lbs of feed. By doing a little math with the instructions on the bag, I use a scant 1/4 cup mixed in with the 11 lbs of feed (approximately 22 cups)

It does not come with hardware to pole mount. You would have to do that yourself. Keep in mind that this feeder is not lightweight but if you are crafty it would work...

Since both the feeder and the pole are made by the same company(Homestead). I would phone them. Their number is: 920-386-4880.

Extremely stable and solid. It has a built-in auger and you screw it into the ground to depth of about 18 inches. As long as the spot you choose is solid, the hanger itself will hold up. I've had it in our sideyard for almost 2 years now without any problems - no adjustments, no tilting. It has hooks for up to 8 feeders (2 each on the 4 arms) but I've only used 3 of them (all 3 are heavy-duty glass and metal feeders). I would feel very comfortable using all 8 however!

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.

I put the biggest feeder I've ever come across on it and it holds it with no sign of stress to the pole. Significantly, it also does not stress the railing either. I've to replace other railings due to stress caused by other poles. This one is superior in every respect.

We used a heavy duty shepherds hook attached to the deck. It gets very heavy when full and with wind will want something sturdy. Awesome feeder. We have 3.

I really don't know but I can tell you that I have caught a 12lb catfish with it and it was bent all the way. I have no complaints about the pole. I would buy another one. I hope this helps.

It's easy to work with and I believe strong enough. Right now I have a bird feeder hung through pulleys, about 30 ft total of wire. Total weight of feeder about 8 lb when full. Know though that the "insulation" on the wire was not intended for outdoor use and will degrade from sunlight in a few months. Not a problem really since the wire itself is SS and does not degrade.
