We aim to ship all boxes in 5 to 7 days of order placement. However, at busy times this can be up to 3 weeks due to the nature of hand finishing each product.
The exceptions to this are Apex boxes and Bespoke boxes which can take up to 4 weeks to manufacture.
Shipping rates are based on your order weight.
Shipping charges range from £5.00 to £20, with most boxes shipping at £13.00.
We currently only ship to addresses within the UK.
Our boxes are made from 18mm sustainably sourced ply.
The ply has excellent water resistance, the surface is breathable and water vapour can move freely. This is one of the reasons why our ply will not delaminate, unlike others available. You do not need to treat the ply prior to mounting the box.
The paint used on roofs of boxes (if applicable) is a water based, heat reflective, roofing paint.
All screws used are stainless steel. We design the boxes to minimise our reliance on screws.
Detailed instructions will come with your box.
There is no need to treat or paint the boxes prior to putting them up. If you desire to paint the box, we suggest using a water-based, non-toxic paint. Top tip: paint the box before mounting.
We suggest inspecting the box once a year when you are very confident there are no nesting birds using it.
