Alpine Nest Box

Welcome wildlife into your garden with the beautifully handcrafted 32 mm Alpine Bird Nest Box from Tom Chambers. Designed to provide a safe and comfortable haven for small wild birds, it is made from high-quality FSC-certified timber and finished with a durable roof for dependable, year-round protection. Its natural appearance blends effortlessly into any outdoor space while offering lasting performance through the seasons.

The 32 mm entrance hole is carefully sized to attract much-loved garden species such as house sparrows, tree sparrows, great tits and nuthatches, while helping to discourage larger, more dominant birds from entering.

For added convenience, the Alpine features an easy-clean access door at the rear, making annual maintenance simple and quick. (Only clean when the nest box is empty and free from nesting birds.)

Thoughtfully designed with bird welfare in mind, the smooth entrance and sturdy structure create a secure environment for birds to nest and raise their young. The internal space provides comfort without leaving occupants exposed to predators or harsh weather. Finished with a striking contrasting green roof, the Alpine nest box combines practicality with timeless garden style — a simple yet elegant way to help garden birds thrive year after year.

How to Position & Fit Your Nest Box

• Place the nest box in a sheltered spot away from strong winds, heavy rain and direct sunlight.

• Angle the front slightly downward to prevent rainwater entering.

• Use galvanised or stainless-steel screws or nails to avoid rusting.

• Keep the box out of reach of cats and squirrels.

• Ideally install at least 3 metres above ground level on a wall or tree for added safety.

When to clean your nest box

• Clean once a year, ideally in autumn (September–October) after the breeding season, be sure that the nest box is empty before disturbing.

• Never clean during spring or summer when birds may be nesting
