JCS Wildlife Recycled Poly Lumber Barred Owl Nesting Box
Give Barred Owls a durable, weather-resistant place to nest and raise their young with the JCS Wildlife Recycled Poly Lumber Barred Owl Nesting Box. Handcrafted in the USA from recycled poly lumber, this heavy-duty owl house is designed for long-lasting outdoor use and requires virtually no maintenance.
The 7" x 7" entrance provides comfortable access for adult Barred Owls, while the perch-free design helps discourage predators from gaining a foothold and keeps young owlets safely inside the nesting cavity. The box features a 2.5" overhanging roof to help protect the entrance from rain, snow, and direct sunlight, along with textured grip grooves below the entrance for easier access.
A convenient side clean-out door makes seasonal inspection and maintenance simple. The door can also provide a convenient location for mounting a wildlife camera so you can observe nesting activity. A complimentary bag of pine shavings is included to provide suitable nesting material.
Built to Handle the Outdoors
Made from durable, recycled poly lumber, this Barred Owl house is designed to withstand years of outdoor exposure. Unlike traditional wood, poly lumber won't rot, absorb moisture, crack, split, or warp. It doesn't require painting, staining, or sealing, making it an excellent low-maintenance choice for an outdoor owl nesting box.
Where to Install Your Barred Owl Nest Box
Barred Owls are most commonly found in mature forests and wooded areas, particularly where there is plenty of cover and access to food. Areas near creeks, ponds, wetlands, and other water sources can provide excellent habitat.
Mount the owl box 15 to 30 feet above the ground on a sturdy mature tree or suitable structure. Keep the flight path to the entrance open and choose a quiet location away from heavy human activity.
If installing multiple Barred Owl nesting boxes, allow plenty of space between them. Barred Owls are territorial, so boxes should generally be placed at least one mile apart when habitat allows.
Before installation, place approximately 3 to 4 inches of clean pine shavings across the bottom of the nesting cavity.

Why Choose a JCS Wildlife Owl House?
A properly placed Barred Owl nesting box can provide valuable nesting habitat where natural tree cavities are limited. Watching a pair of Barred Owls claim the box, raise their young, and hearing their distinctive nighttime calls can be an incredible backyard wildlife experience.
The JCS Wildlife Recycled Poly Lumber Barred Owl Nesting Box combines durability, low maintenance, and owl-friendly design in a nesting house built to last.
Important: Do not paint, stain, or apply chemical treatments to the nesting box. The untreated recycled poly lumber provides a safe, weather-resistant environment for nesting wildlife.

We had to pay someone to put up our owl house, and he got it up pretty easily. It looks great! Hoping an owl moved in at some point. We are in the country with a stable next door and our brush pile has rats living in it. We’d love it if an owl came and ate them.

Highly recommend! Can't wait to get this set up in our yard.

Sturdy, gorgeous nesting box. Really loved the cleaning door easy access! Hopeful for future owls!
B
Great construction. Looking forward to many years of owl watching. Hardest part was mounting it 12 feet high in an oak tree. I’m retired and I don’t need another ladder mishap. I hired someone.

I didn't realize how big the box was until it showed up. I should have checked the measurements online and got out my tape measure. So check ahead of time and make sure you have a big enough tree. I do have a decent sized tree but because it is not straight up I had a bit of a problem putting the box up, so I drilled some extra holes and put some extra screws in it. I also found I had to drill out the pre-drilled holes anyway because they were too small. They would be better with a slight clearance otherwise the **** creates a thread in the hole and it pushes the box away from the tree. I just heard a barred owl in the area yesterday, so I hope they find the box, but I know it is far from a sure thing. If it doesn't get some action this spring I may move it to another tree in the summer.

Everything as described, smooth transaction.

The owl house is great, very sturdy. My mother loves listening to the owls outside our house at night in the summer so I got her this as a birthday present. She said it's one of the best presents she has ever gotten! Can’t wait to watch it get used.
B
How easy is it to attach the owl house to a tree? How many pre-drilled holes are there. Does it come with screws?
Thanks in advance,
Bruce Nelson
Hi Bruce,
First, yes, we include hanging cleats and screws for the barred owl box. You will mount the cleats to the tree first and then you will hang the barred owl box from those cleats. Here is a link to the instructions, which also has great pictures of what I'm talking about:
