Product description
This Classic style timber 32mm entry hole nest box is suitable for a wide range of garden birds.
If you want to exclude larger species you can reduce the entrance hole to 25mm with a nest box plate (R0110).
Made in the UK from thick, FSC®-certified pine wood for strength and durability, this box has good insulation properties. The wood contains a high proportion of natural resins, which help to protect it. The nest box also features drainage holes and a side panel, secured with a screw, that pivots open for easy end-of-season cleaning.
- 32mm entry hole
- Measures 23cm (W) x 28cm (H) x 17cm (D)
- Made from FSC® certified timber
- Made in the UK
Installing your nest box
For secure and stable fixing, there are two hanging tabs attached to the back of the nestbox, one at the top and one at the bottom. These tabs make it quick and easy to securely fix it in place. Screws not supplied.
With a wide range of expertly-designed bird houses to choose from, you can easily provide a safe, welcoming home in your garden for different wild birds. RSPB Shop also provides advice on where to locate your bird house. Help us give nature a home!

RSPB nest boxes are made with thick timber and will survive for many years, even without the use of preservatives.
If you do want to protect your nest box further, use a water-based preservative (preferably one that complies with standard EN71 part 3 as safe for children's toys). Such paint/preservative types are clearly marked on the container, and are available from DIY stores and hardware shops.
Preservatives should only be applied to the outside of the box. Apply in the winter, when there is a low likelihood of occupancy. This will allow time for any remaining volatile components to evaporate.
For more information about siting a nest box please see the Advice section of the main RSPB website.
