A nest box with a 1 1/8-inch entry hole is sized specifically for wrens, small enough to exclude larger competing species. The Wren House Building Kit arrives as pre-cut wooden parts that go together with just a screwdriver.
What Makes This Kit Sized Specifically for Wrens?
The entry hole measures 1 1/8 inches, the dimension specified for this kit. That's the key spec that determines which species can actually use the finished house once it's hung.
What Do You Need to Assemble It?
A screwdriver is the only tool required, since the kit ships with pre-fabricated wooden parts, written assembly instructions, and a metal hanging cable already included. There's no separate hardware to track down before getting started.
When Can You Hang the Finished House?
The house should only be hung once its applied finish has fully dried, then mounted 6 to 10 feet above the ground. That drying step is built into the instructions rather than an optional extra step.
Who This Kit Is For
- Birders who want a hands-on building project rather than a pre-assembled house
- Gift buyers looking for an activity-based gift instead of a finished product
- Anyone specifically trying to attract wrens rather than a mix of species
- Families looking for a seasonal project to build and finish together
