I posted this on another thread, but perhaps I could get some advice here. I have this huge, heavy feeder that I got years ago while I was living in Connecticut because very aggressive squirrels were actually chewing the plastic ones apart to get the seed.

The issue is that it's so heavy and so bulky there are very few places I can hang it--in fact, currently it's hanging on the metal pole of the old clothesline where I have my wisteria growing. I have been browsing on Amazon to see if I could find a pole with an arm sturdy enough to put the feeder in the lawn instead of over my garden bed (where the seeds drop and sprout, and the birds generally make a mess). Anyway, I'm not able to find anything that seems to have a sturdy enough arm to hang such a heavy feeder from (I think it must weigh a good 15 pounds). Any suggestions?
