Description
The house sparrow box is specially designed for the mitigation of house sparrow habitats. The cabinets can be placed both clustered and solitary. In addition to house sparrows, great tits and other tit species also like to use this nest box.
PLACEMENT
The design specifically took into account the depth of the cabinet. Due to its shallow depth, the box can also be incorporated into facades of homes from the 1950s and 1960s, which often have limited cavity space.
Step-by-step plan for installation in existing masonry:
1. Make a mark on the outside wall the size of the built-in brick + the width of 1 joint
2. Remove the marked part from the wall and place the nest box.
3. Set up the cabinet using filler cards. Then secure the cupboard using PUR foam and then seal the cupboard.
Placement options:
1. Placement in existing masonry: with deep cupboards, allow the cupboard to protrude slightly from the wall if necessary. Minimum 20mm PIR behind the cabinet. Do not place the cabinet against the inner leaf.
2. Flush with masonry: keep box free of insulation.
3. Completely behind masonry: keep the cabinet free of insulation. Mounting with corner anchors. Leave the stone a little wider than the entrance hole . The cabinet can be finished with stone strips or stucco.
