Make a safe and durable waterfowl home in your outdoor space with this Bark Clad Wood Duck House. These waterfowl prefer a hole or cavity for nesting, but are not able to excavate their own. Offering them a manmade unit encourages them to remain in the area, and this specifically designed roost perfectly meets their nesting needs. A face clad in ethically-sourced bark gives the appeal of natural nesting, and a 4.125" wide and 3" tall, oval entrance sits high on the face for discouraging predation.
An asphalt shingled and pitched roof covers the home for protection from predators and the elements, while metal trim is nailed over the roof ridge to ensure the security of the roofing materials. The gray-brown decking stain on the rest of the box contributes to this home's blending into its surroundings in nature, making for a safe nesting spot for wood ducks.
The back panel extends higher than the roof and features two predrilled holes for straightforward mounting to a tree, wall, or post, and two beaded panels on one side open for cleaning and maintenance and are secured by two metal locks. The house is constructed entirely of 0.75" thick pine and designed to meet the specifications of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, creating both a desirable, safe, and durable roost for small wood ducks. Pine shavings for nesting material and two decking screws are included with the home for simple mounting and making ready for inhabitants. Made in the USA.
