Can this pole and the cross bars support 2 - 10lb bird feeders? I want to be able to raise and lower the feeders so the squirrels can't reach them.

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

Nothing is squirrel proof, but I have hung my feeder off a hook away from a bush where they will try to jump off and with a baffle 5 ft up so they can't run up the pole. I read where squirrels can jump 5 ft up and 10 ft out , so you have to make it squirrel proof where they can't jump to it. I have fun watching the squirrels trying to figure how to get to my feeder. But none have. As long as I don't get flying squirrels. LOL

There is a place underneath in the center that fits a pole. Personally I thought that well wasn't deep enough to keep the feeder steady because of the weight of it when full of seed/nuts. It's supposed to work but I'm too cautious to try it on a pole.

I looked everywhere to find the exact answer to that question, but couldn't find it. I believe it will hold two of the largest size hanging baskets (approx. 10 lbs. each) easily. I purchased mine to hold two large bird feeders.

Not sure I understand exactly what you are asking, but the whole thing is light metal and the pole sticks in the ground. It is a bit wobbly. I removed the water pan, and squirrel baffle bought separately to help keep them out. The three main feeders work OK. Overall, it is adequate, but not going to be my permanent bird feeder over the long run. I think of it as a test run.

I have only used this feeder as a hanging feeder (suspended from shepherd hooks). I have not attempted to mount it on a pole. Sorry I can't answer your questions. I have made several purchases of these feeders for my use.

Very stable and strong. I hung mine at just above the rail and can see the birds feeding from a seated position on my deck. My deck is covered so the rail posts go all the way up to the shed roof. If you mount to the top of your rail post, you should be fine.

Yes but lower attachments make it easy for the squirrels to just jump to them. Pole is not very high. It's all about placement of the attachments and how close the pole is to other objects. With a little repositioning the squirrels really don't bother trying and mostly just eat off the ground around the pole. We are happy with our purchase and find the starlings that visit to be a way bigger problem than the squirrels.

Works well on a vertical pole. It hangs loosely and the squirrels slide off if they manage to jump on it. It solved my squirrel and raccoon problem. Stabilization may be a problem horizonally.

I do not think it would. I use this model on a pole mounted hanger. I have another feeder suspended from a tree branch with with a bungee cord. The cord is through a unit with a wider angle and about 18 inches in diameter that works really well. I threaded the bungee cord through the hole and then a large washer before hooking it to the bird feeder.

honestly I have a lot of squirrels in my area and I have yet to see any attempt to climb it. Just make sure to put your posts a little higher up on the pole and they may just be discouraged because it has no where to hang on to.

I'm gonna say no. I think you would need a thicker (bigger round) pole. My daughter-in-law has a very small birdhouse on it and it's fine, but it's very flimsy.

Ummmm, a 15 lb. wet hanging basket may be too much for this hanger --- My bird feeder with seed is only 5 or so pounds --- This hanger is a 2 piece and the pieces are hollow (as reflected in the price). Heavy winds or other inclement weather could cause a structural failure with too much weight on the hook.

It's not a feeder that will sit on top of a pole. It hangs and is somewhat hard to pu the lid on tight when you fill it. Not squirrel proof.

I can't say for sure as I am in a chipmunk free area. You can set the "weight limit" that closes the feeder ports. Is a chipmunk heavier than most birds? My feeder is on a pole and I have a squirrel blocker, for lack of an official name, on the pole that keeps them from trying to climb the pole to get to the feeder. That helps also. http://www.birdsanctum.com/product/SK-PG2T

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.
