Wooden Squirrel House
Wooden Squirrel House
Description
Give the squirrels in your backyard a home of their own - and yourself a front-row seat to the show.
This handcrafted wooden squirrel house is built for real outdoor living. Constructed from durable cedar wood, it's designed to weather the seasons without warping, fading, or falling apart giving backyard squirrels a safe, warm place to nest, raise their young, and shelter through winter. Mount it to a tree, fence post, or wooden pole and watch your backyard come alive.
Beyond the entertainment value, a dedicated squirrel house is one of the smartest things a backyard wildlife lover can add to their space. When squirrels have a nesting box of their own, they're far less likely to raid bird feeders, chew through garden beds, or find their way into places they shouldn't. It's a win for you and a win for them.
The hinged bottom panel opens wide for easy seasonal cleaning and inspection with no tools required. Installation takes minutes with the included mounting hardware, and the entry hole is sized specifically to welcome squirrels while discouraging larger animals from moving in. For best results, mount the box 6 to 10 feet above ground on a mature tree in a semi-shaded area near a natural food source.

Excellent correspondence with seller. Our squirrels are going to be very happy with their new house.
I bought this for my parents who have a soft spot for squirrels. I bought a weatherproof stain for it and they mounted it immediately after opening. Great quality and worth every penny.
