A “bolt-snap” at the end of the box’s wire loop just needs to be disengaged so the box can be safely lowered to the ground for cleaning and new bedding. The box’s lid is hinged to the front panel and secured with a screen door hook. Barely seen in the photo are two one-inch-long dowel rods that spur into the pole from the lower edge of the back panel to stabilize the hanging box. (The electric company requires that we use fiberglass ladders to avoid shocks.)
