Welcome to our new site. Please have patience while we catch all the bugs!
Our roosting box is developed to protect Sparrows, Tits and all small birds throughout the cold winter months. Five internal perches allow birds to huddle up and stay dry and warm.Built from our signature 18mm sustainably sourced ply, these boxes can be mounted on a wall, tree or fence - anywhere that is sheltered and out of prevailing winds. The 38mm front entry hole means a host of small bird species can use the box.The construction of the roosting box is all tongue and groove, and the front panel is rebated. This keeps out drafts and rain, even in the worst of weather. Four drainage holes in the bottom mean that in the unlikely event that water does get in, it can drain out.The roosting box can be hung using the pre-drilled mounting hole at the top of the box. We suggest hanging it in a sheltered area of your garden and ensuring the flight path to and from the box is clear and cat free.
All of our boxes are made by hand to order. 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 make.
We currently only ship to addresses within the UK.
Our boxes are made from 18mm ply. Our ply is sourced from responsible plantations within Europe that plant 3 trees for each 1 that is harvested.
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.
There is no need to treat or paint the boxes prior to putting them up. If you want to paint the box, we suggest using a water-based, non-toxic paint. Please do not paint over the dark circles on swift boxes - these are visual clues to swifts that there is a nesting cavity.
We suggest inspecting the box once a year when you are very confident there are no nesting birds using it.
