Description
A robust, professional-grade nesting solution for swifts, the NK GZ 10 Facade Nest Box is built to last for decades. Made from sustainable WoodStone® (a blend of wood fibres and concrete), it offers excellent insulation and weather resistance—ideal for Irish conditions.
Perfect for use on homes, developments, and retrofit projects, this box helps replace lost nesting sites and encourages colony formation, making it a simple but powerful way to support local wildlife.
Suitable for the ACRES scheme.
It is preferable to hang several of the WoodStone® nest boxes together, with a minimum horizontal and vertical spacing of 50 cm, to allow for the possibility of colony establishment. Facades facing north and east are preferred as they are generally more sheltered from direct sunlight, wind, and rain. It is also possible to hang the nest box on another facade as long as the box is well-protected from the elements (for example, under a roof overhang where there are no protruding pipes or parts that obstruct the entrance). Do not install the nest boxes where there is exposure to direct sunlight or on southwest facades where there is a chance of rain intrusion. Do not add nesting material.
Hanging and securing the WoodStone® box is easy with the hardware provided. First, place the Z-hook in the desired location. The nest box can then be placed over the hook. It can be further secured using the plug and screw provided.
