An architectural-grade, self-standing luxury bird feeding station crafted from premium Clear Grade Western Red Cedar. Engineered to resist tipping over a deep 130cm footprint, the design features a robust half-lapped 2x4 base, dual 4x4 mortised pedestals, and twin longitudinal joists to completely eliminate sagging under heavy wet snow loads. The upper feeding pavilion features waterproof rebate-and-dado joinery and a classic gabled roof for lifetime durability outdoors.
