Allow for the complete covered structure and space to lift and clean the tray; a roof does not create a sealed feeder.

THE PRACTICAL DETAILS
A roofed platform with folding ground legs
The BF172 is useful when you want an open ground-feeding platform with an overhead roof. It retains access from several sides while adding coverage above the seed surface. That is a different arrangement from an enclosed hopper: a roof reduces direct overhead exposure but does not seal the sides or guarantee dry food.
The source gives a 13.3 ×10.2 ×15.2-inch overall envelope, with the tray standing four inches above ground. Those scopes should remain separate: four inches is floor elevation, not the roofed body’s full height. A five-pound capacity is stated for the open tray, without establishing supplied food or a required fill level.
Recycled poly lumber forms the main structure, with a metal mesh base for drainage and airflow. Folding legs help with storage, though folded dimensions are not supplied. Tool-free assembly is described. Choose this reference when the covered open surface and foldable support meet your space; the uncovered folding platform is an alternative when you prefer less overhead structure. A caged platform serves a different access-control purpose, so a roof should not be mistaken for a wildlife-exclusion feature.
