Why Choose This Barn Owl Box?

Advantages Over Wooden Boxes

If you've ever put up a wooden or ply barn owl box you'll remember it for while. They're really heavy - around 20kg, if they're any good - and often have fiddly fixings. Even with help, if you're 4 metres up a ladder it's not exactly the easiest thing in the world. Particularly if you're anything like me. Our eco-friendly barn owl boxes are under 10kg and have two easy fixings. There's a plate which you nail or screw into the wall/tree where the box is going which it slots into, then a strap which nails down at the end of the install.

These barn owl boxes also last a lot longer than the wooden ones too. They're mostly made out of plastic recycled in the UK from mostly agricultural waste like the dreaded baler twine. The boxes are not unattractive, really tough and durable, and functional. The plastic has good thermal insulation and the pieces are slotted together, so no glue or nails and screws. It's inert, of course, so doesn't warp or rot. Moisture is controlled through ventilation and concealed drainage. The floor is made from FSC certified OSB - made from reconstituted wood offcuts. It's easily removable; the idea is you replace it after a few years if it's the worse for wear.

Other Design Features

These boxes have a number of clever design features, all helping ensure your box will be occupied by happy barn owls. The gently curved and overhanging roof not only provides a textured perch for owlets to grip, but also keeps their nest dry. There's a wide canopy at the front too, to protect the entrance. Birds can perch on the front platform, and adults on the side hatch fixings.

The boxes have easily opened side hatches to facilitate cleaning, and even a removable arm to hold a video camera.

Box Installation

The boxes come assembled and with full installation instructions. Even I managed to follow them.

If you're installing a box inside near the apex of a roof is ideal, as high as possible - over 3m if possible. Make sure though that the box won't over heat from sunshine on the roof and that there's enough ventilation around it. Obviously, owls must have access to the box at all times. As with a site outside, make sure the entrance to the box is visible to passing owls. They seem to enjoy looking out for their nests too.

Sites on trees or external walls should also be high up - the suppliers recommend at least 4.5m. Overheating can be a problem here too, so find somewhere shaded from the mid-day sun. As with all nestboxes, best to face the entrance away from prevailing winds. Our box here faces east, sheltered from westerlies and southwesterlies.

Barn Owls

Barn owls are one of our most beautiful and charismatic birds. They are also increasingly rare, and categorised as a Schedule 1 protected species. Habitat loss, fewer nest sites and indiscriminate use of rodenticide have taken a toll on them. Don't open their nest boxes from March to October, when you might disturb incubating eggs or young chicks. Unlike tawny owls, barn owls prefer tussocky grassland where they can find lots of voles to predate. This is relatively easy habitat to create and manage - give it a try! They often nest in boxes.

fit and comfort
Size: 8.5, Color: Grey, Size: 8.5, Color: Grey
Perfect fit, i was a little anxious about the size and fit. As you can see in the pictures, they look great and they are very light. I would give them a five-star rating as the comfort is there, only the point is a little hard on the toes, I hope that goes away with usage.

Comfortable Oxford style shoes
Size: 10, Color: Black, Size: 10, Color: Black
Comfortable shoes that almost slip on each time. The material is a cotton mesh that is very soft and breathes well. I would not recommend walking in wet grass as the water can get through the mesh and make your feet wet. I normally wear size 10 for sneakers and this was true to size. I have extra room in the toe box. I do think the shoe feels a little narrow, but with the mesh area being stretchy, it does not cause any discomfort. The narrowness of the shoe makes it look more form fitting around my feet. Overall the shoe is comfortable while also giving an impression of high quality foot wear. It looks elegant too. The shoes also seem pretty durable given how much they feel like sneakers. The leather at the tip of the shoe does not scuff easily, which is great! Overall good value too!

High End Style Without the Markup
Size: 12, Color: Navy, Size: 12, Color: Navy
I love the deep navy color of these shoes because it looks even richer in person than it does in the online photos. I usually wear a size 12 and these do have some extra room so could have gone down a half size. The white sole creates a nice contrast that makes the navy color pop. For me, these hit that perfect sweet spot where I look put together at work that is business casual without feeling like I am wearing stiff or formal dress shoes. These are comfortable shoes because the fabric is breathable and keeps my feet cool throughout the day. I especially like that the toe box bends naturally and does not leave ugly permanent creases across the top of the shoe. The padding around the ankle is soft and there is no rubbing even when I am walking a lot. My favorite part has to be the slight stretch around the opening because it lets me kick them off or slide them on without having to touch the laces. This is a total win for my lazy side and makes them my go to pair when I am headed out the door in a hurry. The stitching feels very durable and the overall build quality seems like it will hold up for a long time.

Good value for the money.
Size: 9.5 Wide, Color: Beige
Comfortable right out of the box. Great style and well made. The more you wear the softer they get but maintain their overall appearance.
