BARN OWL BOX





PRODUCT NAME:   Barn Owl Box.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:   Constructed of both plywood and cedar, these are
houses which mount on trees or buildings and are designed
to house barn owls. Both designs have several features
which are important if you want an environment which
barn owls like and will readily take advantage of when
offered. Both have the same dimensions. Each stands 18"
tall and is 18" deep. They are 11" wide and have a roof
which overhangs the house by about an inch on each side
so it will provide shelter from rain and snow. Both
homes feature Plywood roof tops since the Plywood will
wear much better in the rain once sealed and painted.
The Cedar tends to crack and allow water to enter - 
something that will make any owl leave in a hurry. For
this reason alone Plywood is used for the top and
the bottom of both homes and will last a lot longer.

Some more features include:
1) Vented ceiling which allows hot air to escape. The
vents are located just below the roof and are subtle
but effective.
2) Side mounts which owls seem to prefer over standard
or traditional mounts for bird houses. The side mount
gives the impression the house is more likely a part of
the tree or structure on which it is mounted so owls
are more willing to move in. The house is connected to
the mount from the side as well as the bottom by a 
support which forms an "L" around the house. This extra
mounting effort insures the house will stay affixed
to where you want it to hang.
3) The front of the house has a wooden dowel hinge on
top which enables access to clean the house annually.
Two hanger bolts keep the front secure and sealed and
the special hanger bolt wrench is included so you can
unscrew them once a year for cleaning the interior of
the home.
4) Cedar shavings are included for the bottom of the home. 


Watch this short video to see how to assemble the included 
side mount.




WHERE TO USE IT:  Though generally on a tree about 10 feet up,
Barn Owl Boxes have been known to attract occupants
when mounted on houses and other buildings. They can
also be mounted on telephone poles, bird feeding 
stations, etc. 

RATE OF APPLICATION:    Try to get at least one house for every
acre of land you have available.

PACKAGING AND COST:   There are two styles shown in the above picture.
The one on the left is the Plywood house and comprised
completely of plywood. This structure will prove to
last about the same as the Cedar home but cost is
less due to the less expensive wood needed for
construction. Plywood homes can be painted any color
and should be sealed on the outside only to protect
them from water. Each Plywood house (ITEM # 954310)


The Cedar built home, pictured on the right, is
the same exact dimensions and construction design as
the plywood. However, it uses all cedar except the roof
and bottom. These parts are made of plywood since the
plywood lasts so much longer than cedar. However, the
rest of the home uses cedar which is stained a dark
brown as shown. (ITEM # 954308)
