Can I mount this directly to a wooden telephone pole? (It's solely for a basketball hoop-no lines to it). If one can mount this to a flat wall, can I also just screw it to a large wooden pole? Standard 3.5" pole clamp mounts are too small.

I think you could . But you might want to put a flat piece of wood on the back side to stablize it

Probably not. I'm not in my office at the moment, but if memory serves, the diameter of the pole isn't much larger than 3". You'd probably need to cover the hole with a thin sheet of metal (couple of bucks at a hardware store) and either drill a smaller hole for the post screw or just use the included clamp. Of course, you could also use the included clamp on some other part of the desk that *doesn't* have a 3" hole in it... Put it right next to the hole and route your monitor cables through the hole, maybe?

I think it comes with different mounting brackets. I used mine on an old pole. I wish I could be more help, but I don't remember the brackets.

I've looked at the No/no Cardinal Feeder listing and it seems intended to hang but if you're going to place the feeder where there are no hanging options I think this pole would work. This pole has an attached mounting plate at its top intended for securing flat-bottomed feeders. Your question will be if the cardinal feeder is sturdy enough to be mounted. Remember, it's intended to be hung and may not be strong in its base.

I can tell you for certain that it can be mounted to a pole. I don't think it was made for mounting on a flat surface but someone who is willing to be creative might find a way to do so.

I have it mounted on a small post now. The hole is about 3/4 inch in diameter. Depends on the size of your post but I am going to say yes. You can hang it or mount it. Hope that helps.

No reason why you couldn't mount it that way if there's room. The only difficulty would be if the pole clamp loosens and the swing assembly plus monitor slides down the pole and falls off.

Yes as long as the pole's diameter is big enough. If not you could add tape to the pole, adding size to allow the mount to clamp down on it.

For now I have not mounted it. My son in law told me I would have to get a metal pole to mount it on and the metal pole would be mounted on the side of my house facing south. For now, I am bringing it in and out of my house. I have a long nail and I have been hanging it on that with string. It sounds amateurish but that is the best I can do for now until someone helps me mount it.

It doesn't fit on the telephone poles... You have to use this net to one of these poles like in the picture (http://innovativeathletic.com/assvx1000.html) it is mostly used inside the school gym...

Too bad no one can answer Ken's question.After a decade of service, my family & I and the local weather just managed to break a Lifetime backboard & hoop connected to a pole and base designed to stand up on or near a driveway. The pole is fine, and years ago I spent hours filling the base with sand to withstand the local winds and basketball fans, which it still does most of the time.Too bad I can't buy a replacement backboard and hoop guaranteed to fit my existing base and pole... especially since it is all... gasp... apparently Made in America!

The bottom half of the clamp is detachable. It is not intended to mount in a grommet hole, so I my answer is not without modification. Most grommet holes will fit the pole but not the clamp. You could make the grommet hole a wide rectangle to make it fit, but be careful because it was designed for the lip of a desk.

They sell brackets that clamp on. I used mine with a wood bench and drilled holes where the bracket pegs go. Works great

I don't see screw holes, and want to attach it to a wood pole. Can it be done, and how?

If the pole outside diameter is the same, or very close, you can mount it to any pole. It is a type of compression clamp and works very well.

I am sure you could if you can get a pole with the same diameter. I removed the edge clamp and screwed the bracket directly to a workbench!

Hang it anywhere just add a chain or something similiar if you need to extend the length or can't fit the hook around the object you want to hang it on. I hung mine as is on a bird feeder pole.
