the nest box company barn owl chalet - Description:
This completely new "Chalet" by the Nestbox Company, Ltd incorporates all the essential features for the safe rearing of owlets. We very much appreciate the help that The Barn Owl Trust and other experts have given us during the design stages.
Features that provide for the safe rearing of owlets and effective but simple management of the box include:-
Manufactured from forest sustainable exterior grade timber.
Generous drained floor of approx. 300 sq. inches.
Full width front platform with sturdy edging for owlets to exercise on.
Full 17" depth from pophole to floor.
Specially drilled backplate providing fixing holes above and below the box and oversized holes to accommodate ropes for hauling the box up the tree and locating it. The backplate is reinforced top and bottom with sturdy battening and allows for unevenness of the tree trunk.
Double inspection hatch allowing full access to the whole floor area and facilitates cleaning or inspection from either side of the box. Both hatches are water-resistant at the edges and are held in position with draw bolts.
A generous weather "canopy" that protects both the pophole and the landing platform from the worst weather.
A lightweight but robust construction strengthened with internal battens but still only weighing approx. 8.5kgs.
