I need to mount a platform feeder - can the finial be left off the top so I could mount a bracket?

I am in no way an expert here BUT everything was to be assembled. You put each hook on piece by piece. So if there are any you don't want on it, you can leave it off and that includes the top hooks. They are not attached so whatever changed you need to make can be done easily.

none of my equipment is mounted, I'm guessing "no" though as there are 2 silver plates an each end of theface that are screwed on, but they are not to the side of plate as to mount it. Looks like Jim w knows whatyou need

Yes, there is a mount under the feeder which the pole slips into. It comes with all the hardware.

Hi, sorry for the delay. It doesn't come with anything to mount it but I'm sure you can find a bracket to fit it.

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, 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 :)

I suppose you can in an indirect way. I don't think there's an attachment on the bottom to do it, but if you rig a pole so that the bird feeder would hang from it, that should work. I have a suet feeder as well that hangs from an iron pole that I got at Big Lots. That pole I think was designed to hang plants, but there's no reason you couldn't use it for this bird feeder.

We do not have ours mounted on a pole, we just hang ours from a shepherds hook. If you already have the feeder I suggest taking the mounting part which is loose inside the feeder to your local hardware store and see what they recommend.

No, only if you were able to hang it from a crosspiece for example. It has a substantial ring on the top to suspend it with no provision for attachment on the bottom. Spendy, but best feeder I ever owned.

Woodlink sells a tray accessory that is attached with small nuts, and bolts. There are two holes in the bottom bracket of the feeder that will allow for this to be done- if you look closely under the bottom feed port on the feeder you can just make out where the small bolt would attach the tray accessory item# WLTUBETRAY

I'm not sure what the question is. There is a small (about 1/2 inch) hole in the bottom, but I don't think it was ever meant to take a pole sturdy enough to hold that feeder up. The feeder is heavy. I hang mine from a tree, but a external metal rig with an arm that would allow it to hang certainly will work.

it can be pole mounted. you will to drill fasteners thru the floor of the feeder. should be simple with a cordless drill. that is how i installed mine.

This tray is intended to mount on the bottom of a Droll Feeder only, certainly not on a bird feeder pole. this tray includes a black plastic threaded bolt/screw that attaches it to a Droll Yankee feeder. There would be absolutely no way to support the tray on a pole.

I believe you can. Brackets are mounted with a suction cup, so this shouldn't be an issue.

My Feeder came with a pole and monting bracket. So you could use your pole and the included bracket or use their pole. However I was not overly impressed with their pole as ability to hold the weight of a full feeder or with stand high winds or snow storms. I used a "shepherds" crock that have had been unsing for years. The feeder comes with a super brack that easily is assembled into the feeder it self, has handled strongs winds with no problem this year. Still the best feeder for me and would buy another next if needed.

I already have it installed so I can't check the underside of the pole. The pole does not look welded on the top side where it joins to the mounting bracket, but may be welded or simply screwed on from the bottom side of the bracket. Either way, it cannot be "easily' removed for a "quick change" scenario. Perhaps others kept the installation manual and it may have a view of the underside of the bracket/pole assembly.

Sorry, but I think it isn't ideal for mounting, it's made to hang (from a tree branch, hook, etc), but the company may have suggestions for you. Their customer service is excellent, and they offer a one year guarantee for their products. It's a great feeder, though.
