Genesis Swift Nest Box - Single Chamber

The Genesis Swift Nest Box - Single Chamber is designed for external installation on buildings, providing a dedicated nesting space for swifts. Swifts naturally nest in colonies, so single boxes can be installed alongside double or triple chamber options where multiple nesting spaces are required.

Genesis Swift Nest Boxes are made from ResCom® Cellular Magnesia Cement board, a durable material used in the building industry. The box is coated externally with cork insulating paint and can be painted with a suitable water-based paint to match the building if required.

Key Features

• Single chamber swift nest box for external wall mounting
• Entrance size of 28.5 x 64mm, designed for swifts

Contents

• Nest Box
• Supplied with an aluminium mounting bracket held onto the box with stainless fixings
• 4No 7.6mm diameter zinc yellow passivated masonry frame screws which are designed to screw directly into masonry eliminating the need for a wall plug. A 6mm diameter masonry drill and a TX30 screwdriver bit will be needed to use these. Drill the 6mm diameter hole to the required depth, and the masonry screws will wind in, cutting their own thread, using a T30/TX30 torx (star-shaped) bit on a battery drill/driver.

Siting & Installation

The box is designed to be mounted externally on a building. It should be installed at least 5 metres above ground level, with a clear flight path to and from the entrance. Avoid south-facing sites where possible.
