Woodpecker Box

Siting

The woodpecker box should be positioned high up between 3 – 5 metres on a mature tree in a quiet location for the best chance of occupancy. Face the entrance hole away from the prevailing wind to face between north and south-east.

Maintenance

Our FSC certified slow-seasoned, naturally durable timbers to negate the need for chemical preservatives or stains. The timber will silver with age, and small cracks will appear with wetting and drying, but the wood does not rot. You may use a water-based exterior varnish for aesthetic purposes, but it is not required treatment. All the joints are screwed together for longevity.

The woodpecker boxshould ideally be cleaned out in autumn, ready for the coming spring.

Other species which may use the box with a 55mm hole are starlings.

Please allow 3 weeks for delivery.
