Owl Nest Boxes – ECO Range & Installation Guide

Since 2016 we have produced a range of durable ECO owl nest boxes made from recycled Stokbord. These boxes are lightweight, weatherproof and designed to provide safe, long-lasting nesting sites for barn owls, tawny owls, little owls and kestrels across the UK.

Why Choose Our ECO Owl Nest Boxes?

• Excellent thermal protection during heatwaves and cold weather
• Rot-proof and fully weather resistant
• Lightweight and easy to install
• No timber, nails or screws – nothing to rot
• Chemical-free and safe for wildlife

Where should an owl box be installed?
Barn owls prefer quiet locations with open countryside nearby for hunting. Good sites include:

• Inside barns or agricultural buildings
• Mounted in mature trees on field edges
• Pole-mounted in pasture or meadow
• Quiet corners of farmyards or estates

For best results, choose a location away from busy roads and regular disturbance, with rough grassland nearby to support hunting.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will barn owls use a nest box?
Yes, where suitable habitat exists and disturbance is low, barn owls readily adopt well-positioned nest boxes.

How long does it take for a box to be used?
Some boxes are occupied within months, while others may take a few seasons. Patience is important as owls establish territories over time.

Do owl boxes require maintenance?
ECO boxes are designed for longevity and minimal maintenance. Occasional inspection is sufficient.
