Built-In Half Open WoodStone Bird Nest Box

The Built-In Half Open WoodStone Bird Nest Box is designed for seamless integration into brickwork, providing a durable and discreet nesting space for a range of small bird species. Manufactured to match standard UK brick dimensions, the box can be built directly into new-build masonry so it sits flush with the wall surface.

This half-open design offers suitable nesting conditions for species that prefer more open-fronted cavities, such as robins, wagtails and redstarts. The species that ultimately use the box will depend on the surrounding habitat and its placement on the building.

Design & Construction

• Designed to match standard UK brick dimensions
• Suitable for integration into brickwork during construction
• Can also be mounted externally on existing walls
• Half-open front design for species that prefer open nest sites
• Raised entrance edge allows a neat plastered finish
• Made from durable WoodStone® (wood concrete)

The nest box is manufactured from WoodStone®, a robust blend of FSC®-certified wood fibres and concrete that offers excellent insulation, weather resistance and long service life.

Suitable Species

The half-open design may be used by several species depending on the surrounding habitat, including:

• Robin
• Wren
• Black Redstart
• Common Redstart
• White Wagtail
• Yellow Wagtail
• Spotted Flycatcher
• House Sparrow

Siting Guidance

• Install preferably beneath eaves or roof overhangs
• Recommended installation height: 3–4 metres or higher
• North or east-facing façades are preferred
• Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight
• Avoid southwest-facing walls where heavy rain exposure may occur
• Do not install directly above doors or windows

When built into the façade, the entrance edge can be plastered to create a clean finish that blends with the surrounding wall.

Maintenance

This nest box is non-openable and requires very little maintenance. If required, nesting material can be removed through the entrance opening during the winter months when the box is not in use.
