With diminishing habitats such as old barns, out buildings and derelict shed, the owls have had a real tough time establishing new environments to roost and nest.
Our Barn Owl boxes are made from FSC approved, pressure treated 12mm plywood with waterproof joints and is fully sealed. The roof is sealed with thick roofing felt to make this a very durable and robust box. There is a landing platform which acts as the exercise platform for fledglings, this is imperative for the safety of young birds. We have fitted an inspection hatch at the base of the box to ensure easy cleaning out of debris at the end of the season.
The best place to put up a new Barn Owl nest box is in a large building that a Barn Owl can enter at least 3 metres above the ground. As our boxes are designed to be used indoors or mounted onto a tree or pole outdoors, it makes them very versatile as they are completely weatherproof. Make sure there is a clear flight line in. All fixings for barn or tree mounting are included. Please see the specification sheet for dimensions.
All the timber I use is 19mm thick European redwood Pine and is sourced from a U.K company with a superb sustainability policy. The timber is left natural rough sawn to enable the fledglings to climb out when they are ready to leave the box. The boxes are made from a very durable and robust thickness of timber that is chunky and strong. It will be resilient to all weathers and has proved to be a lovely home for many breeding birds and even a resting space overnight for individual birds.
