I use galvanized hardware cloth with a small mesh size where birds or wasps can't get in.

Drill holes for enough #8 or #10 x 3/4 " long machine screws to act as a stud to hold the cloth in place....no birds and no wasps in the pin box and its removable if needed.

One hanging owl gets a Phoebe's mud nest on his head every spring. Guess they like it up there 14' above the ground.
