THE PRACTICAL DETAILS
A lift-off cage around a folding ground platform
The BF171 is the platform to compare when a surrounding cage is the feature you want, rather than a roof. The source describes 1.5 ×1.5-inch openings and a metal cage that lifts off for refilling and cleaning. Those dimensions describe the physical openings; they do not prove which species can enter or guarantee complete squirrel exclusion.
The tray is described as four inches above ground, with folding legs and a recycled-poly-lumber structure. A mesh floor provides drainage. The stated five-pound capacity is a food-holding claim, not supplied seed or a reason to leave food unattended for a set interval. Removing the cage gives access to the open surface underneath.
Footprint statements differ: a feature says 13.3 ×10.2 inches for the tray, while the product envelope says 13.5 ×10.2 ×10 inches. We do not treat those as an exact corroborated footprint. Choose this reference for the lift-off cage if the current openings and usable space suit your plan. The covered BF172 is an alternative when overhead shelter matters more than restricting side access; an uncovered tray is simpler when neither structure is needed.

Fit & buying checks for this reference
Choose cage versus roof by purpose
A cage controls side openings; it is not the same as overhead coverage.
Plan cage-removal clearance
Leave space to lift the structure away rather than only space for its closed height.
Questions about this selected product
Does 1.5-inch mesh guarantee only small birds enter?
No. It is a source-stated opening size, not a verified species-selection result.
Can the cage be removed for refilling?
Yes. The source says it lifts off.
Is the cage also a rain roof?
A surrounding mesh cage is not an established overhead weather cover.
