7. Fitting the nest box
Slide the nest box dividers into the slots in the box. Hook the bottom of the nest box over the frame of the side panel
pivot the nest box upright and reach inside to turn the turn buttons that hold it in place. Place the nest box lid on top of
the nest box.
Place nest box lid on top of the nest box.
Ensure the correct orientation of the roof
slats to allow water to run off the building.
Important information
As timber is a natural material, there are certain weather conditions that may affect the materials properties. In times of excessive dry
spells the material may lose some of its internal moisture causing a certain degree of shrinkage on a panel and in periods of excessive rain
there will be a certain amount of swelling throughout the wooden panels. This process can not be avoided. If you have problems with
certain boards shrinking in dry spells try to decrease the amount of direct sunlight on the building or the amount of air passing over the
building. During hot spells spray water directly onto the panels with the aid of a garden hose.
