Cusomised Nest Boxes...

The results of this research is this range of nest boxes that are customised to individual species or groups of similar species.

The nest boxes are constructed from standard plywood rather than marine plywood, that contains toxic preservatives that would poison animals gnawing on the wood.

The nest boxes have a life span of about 10 years in rain forest conditions and longer in drier habitats. You could increase the their life span by waterproofing all unpainted surfaces with beeswax.

If you want to enjoy the pleasure of wildlife around your garden then why not invite them to take up residence by installing a number of these nest boxes. 

They are an ideal way to atone for the fact that many mature trees with suitable nesting hollows have likely been destroyed to make way for the houses in your neighbourhood.

These are now available as DIY flat packs which substantially reduces the postage cost of particularly the larger nest boxes. Instructions and screws are included in the flat pack.

Please note that I have not yet modified the postage calculation for these items and the shopping cart will show the orginal postage cost for the assembled boxes.However I will modify the postage cost on the invoice.
