Description
This house sparrow nesting box is specially designed for the mitigation of house sparrow habitats. The boxes can be placed both clustered and solitary. In addition to house sparrow , titmice and other tit species also like to use this built-in box.
PLACEMENT
In the design of the box, specific attention has been paid to the depth of the box. Due to the shallow depth, the box can also be easily incorporated into façades of houses from the years ’50 and ’60 with often limited cavity space. The built-in box is equipped with an inspection hatch. Through the inspection hatch the box can be cleaned. In addition to installation in masonry, the box can also be hung on façades. When installed on façades, the box can be mounted from the rear using two bolts.
Installation plan for assembly in existing masonry:
1. make a marking on the outer wall to the size of the built-in box + 1 joint
2. remove the marked part from the wall and place the box.
3. adjust the box using adjustment cards. Then secure the box using expanding foam and then finish the box.
Installation options:
1. Installation in existing masonry: for deep nest boxes, allow it to protrude slightly from the wall.Minimum 20mm PIR behind the nest box.Do not place the box against the insulation.
2. Flush with masonry: keep the box free of insulation.
3. Completely behind masonry: keep the box free of insulation.Mounting with corner anchors.Leave the stone a little wider than the entrance hole.The built-in box can be finished with stone strips or stucco.
