Constructed from rust-resistant metal and joined with a tension spring and wire-mounted panels, it’s built for year-round outdoor use on standard feeder poles or hanging hooks. The design focuses on blocking access by creating a smooth, concave surface and increased diameter, while remaining easy to assemble and compatible with most backyard setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the widened 19-inch size improve protection?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe larger diameter increases the distance a squirrel or raccoon must bridge, making it much harder for them to reach the feeder from above or the side.
