Our nest boxes are ever evolving with improved designs and materials and are inspired by modernist styling for robustness and optimum functionality - no nails, staples or glue hold the parts together - component elements all slot together. Should any damage occur to any of the components, these can be replaced individually. The oversize roof that rests on the top and that provides protection from rain, sun, and predators is held in place with two lateral screws that allow quick and easy access for annual nest box cleanout.

If you are looking for a serviceable, long-life Nest Box, then these nest boxes that are manufactured from quality, 1/2 inch thick marine grade plywood are ideal for you.

In order to accommodate the most popular bird species that inhabit nest boxes, we have developed a version of nest box for each of these species - the list of birds for which this nest box was designed is listed below.

All of our boxes are made from the highest quality exterior grade (marine grade) plywood and are precision made on a CNC machine. The exterior of the box is a sanded, high quality grade paintable surface.

We provide a number of semi-transparent stain colors but also offer you the option of finishing it yourself in order to best suit your personal environment and tastes and to save you money. Painting or staining the outside of your nest box will increase its longevity (leave the inside untreated.)

Nest boxes can be finished in either oil (decking oil, linseed oil), varnish, or paint. We recommend a good quality exterior paint or deck stain that protects wood against mildew and mold, which can lead to wood rot, and that provides UV protection to reduce the risk of cracking and splintering. Give time for the oil or paint to dry and air-out thoroughly before use.

The interior of the box should not be painted and should be left as it is – raw untreated wood

Our nesting box design features the following:

• an interior space sized for specific bird species

• an entry hole sized for specific bird species

• a front roof overhang provides shade, helps protect the entrance from water, and makes it difficult for predators to access the main opening

• a gap at the rear provides air ventilation to help avoid overheating

• Recessed floor and 4 drainage holes in the bottom ensure nests stay dry

• a keyhole in the back allows for easy hanging on a post, tree, or suitable area of a building (exterior, galvanized nail included - nails have stronger shear resistance than screws.)

• For mounting on a pole, a notch has been made in the bottom at the back that allows for easy pole attachment with simple, inexpensive brackets. Instructions for using a 1/2” electrical conduit and rebar (simplest and most inexpensive to use) are included.

• Select between various pre-selected stain colors or not stained - for you to finish
